Lyrics
Peace, perfect peace
I cry for peace in this neighbourhood
Oh, love, perfect love
I beg you for love in this neighbourhood

No water can cool this fire,
Only the lord can save
I cry for peace in this neighbourhood

I take one look inside and this is what I see
We need more love, we need more love in the community
I take one look inside and this is what I see
We need more love, we need more love in the community

Peace, perfect peace, yeah
I’ve cried for peace in this neighbourhood
Love, perfect love
I’ve cried for love in this neighbourhood

Oh, no water can cool this fire
Only the Lord can save us
I’ve cried for peace in this neighbourhood

I take one look above and this is what I see
Faith can move mountains, only love can set us free
I take one look inside and this is what I see
We need more love, we need more love in the community

Peace, perfect peace
Peace in this neighbourhood
Love, perfect love
I beg you for love in this neighbourhood, in this neighbourhood

I’d say peace, perfect peace
Well I cried for peace in this neighbourhood
Oh love, perfect love
Well I’ve cried for love in this neighbourhood

Peace, perfect peace
