I sat down to watch the local station
People were there from every nation
I ran out to read the morning paper
And the news was just as great there
That peace on earth at last has come
And now at last a new world has begun
The sky is filled with gentle doves
This is the morning of the times to come

In the blaze of noon I stood dumbfounded
Men plowed fields where guns had sounded
Little children laughed and gathered flowers
Steeple bells rang on for hours
Soft music filled the windy skies
The gentle lamb lay sleeping in the sun
Let everyone love everyone
This is the morning of the times to come

And now the doves cry soft and stars are peeping
All the world is in safekeeping
There’ll be no more pain and no more sorrow
No more fears about tomorrow
Let every heart be filled with love
Let everyone be cared for by someone
Let everyone love everyone
This is the morning of the times to come
Let everyone love everyone
This is the morning of the times to come
