Tommy Makem – Peace And Justice lyrics

Raise the cry for peace and justice
Let the people sound the call
Justice for our battered country
Peace for one and peace for all

Chorus:
Peace and justice are our watchwords
Peace and justice is our call
Peace and justice for our people
Peace for one and peace for all

Tell the RUC and the English soldiers
The UVF and the IRA
Guns can't silence all the people
Calling out for peace to light another brand new day

Chorus

In Armagh, Belfast and Derry
People walking hand in hand
Cry with love and heartfelt yearning
"Help us heal our broken land"

Chorus

Man's injustice to his neighbour
For too long has been our fate
Practice love and understanding
All we need to hate is hate

Chorus

Though the road be rough and rocky
And the problems mountain high
Hold your hand out to your neighbour
And we'll all find peace and justice by and by

Chorus

We must all sit down together
Share our hopes, our joys, our fears
Understanding and forgiveness
Will dry up our country's tears

Chorus

Every day that peace continues
Hope will help to ease the pain
Sisters, brothers understanding
Will make our land a nation once again

Chorus
