[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen
I'm standing before you with something important to say
With some trepidation I crave your attention but
I'm not gonna let anything get in my way

[Verse 2]
The message is simple, it's straight from my heart
And I know that you've heard it before
But what does it matter, we're in it together
And I'm not quitting while people are crying for more

[Chorus]
People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace
People want peace

[Bridge]
Nothing in life is as sad as the lonely soul
Searching for peace
Only to find disappointment is waiting
Behind every door that we open
Every catch, we release

[Verse 3]
A-brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen
I know that it isn't too late
For we as the people, the voices of freedom
And we're all perfectly clear that we don't wanna wait

[Chorus]
People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace
People want peace

[Outro]
People want peace
People want peace
Yes, we want peace!
People want peace (Yeah, yeah!)
People want peace

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
