Pipes Of Peace -- Paul McCartney

I LIGHT A CANDLE TO OUR LOVE,   IN LOVE OUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR. 
BUT ALL IN ALL WE SOON DISCOVER  THAT ONE AND ONE IS ALL WE LONG TO HEAR. 
ALL 'ROUND THE WORLD,  LITTLE CHILDREN BEING BORN TO THE WORLD. 
GOT TO GIVE THEM ALL WE CAN 'TIL THE WAR IS WON,  THEN WILL THE WORK BE DONE. 

HELP THEM TO LEARN  SONGS OF JOY INSTEAD OF BURN, BABY, BURN. 
LET US SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY  THE PIPES OF PEACE, PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE. 
HELP ME TO LEARN  SONGS OF JOY INSTEAD OF BURN, BABY, BURN, 
WON'T YOU SHOW ME TO PLAY  THE PIPES OF PEACE,  PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE 


WHAT DO YOU SAY? WILL THE HUMAN RACE BE RUN IN A DAY? (in a day?) 
OR WILL SOMEONE SAVE THIS PLANET WE'RE PLAYING ON?  
IS IT THE ONLY ONE?   WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

HELP THEM TO SEE  THAT THE PEOPLE HERE ARE LIKE YOU AND ME.
LET US SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY  THE PIPES OF PEACE, PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE.
I LIGHT A CANDLE TO OUR LOVE,   IN LOVE OUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR. 
BUT ALL IN ALL WE SOON DISCOVER   THAT ONE AND ONE IS ALL WE LONG TO HEAR. 

The song "Pipes of Peace" celebrates the famous Christmas truce between British and German troops on the Western Front in 1914. The Pope  Benedict XV - had called for an official truce for Christmas that year, but the military hierarchy had said no. The Christmas spirit transcended war however and two sides came together for a football match  and to share chocolates, cigarettes and alcohol. It was also a time when accounts state that they buried fallen comrades with both sides paying their respects.               (wikipedia)
