Lyrics

We all spend far too much time,
Pointing fingers, shaking fists
The fault must be yours, not mine
For what has gone a miss
Maybe we could make a change
And concentrate on peace
We just might want to place the blame
On the positives we see. . . .

Blame it on the candle light
Blame it on the stars at night
Blame it on the moonshine bright
Blame it on peace
Blame it on the air we breathe
Blame it on the grass, the trees
Blame it on the lakes and the seas
Blame it on peace
Oh, blame it on peace

Can we use the power of beauty
Instead of bombs and guns
Can we dream of only peace
And fill the world with love

Then we’ll blame it on the birds flying by
Blame it on the clouds in the sky
Blame it on you and I
Blame it on peace
Oh, blame it on peace

Can we tell our politicians
We don’t want to go to war
Can we tell big corporations
People matter more
Then we’ll blame it on the girl over there
Blame it on the man in that chair
Blame it on the people everywhere
Blame it on peace oh
We’ll blame it on the birds flying by
Blame it on the clouds in the sky
Blame it on you and I
Blame it on peace
Oh, blame it on peace

Can we start a revolution
Must we wake up from this dream
Can we think of only kindness
And set each other free

Then we’ll blame it on the candle light
Blame it on the stars at night
Blame it on the moonshine bright
Blame it on peace
Blame it on the air we breathe
Blame it on the grass, the trees
Blame it on the lakes, the seas
Blame it on peace
