Peace is a flower
D                 F/D
That grows in the sunshine
Em             Fmaj7         G
Its petals are raised to the sky
D        Gsus4 - G
Peace is harmony,
Am            Bm7
Love and understanding
   C                               G
Oh why can't we have peace all the time?

D          F/D
Peace is a bird
D                 F/D
That hangs on the breeze
Em           Fmaj7       G
watching the world hurry by

D        Gsus4 - G
Peace is purity,
Am             Bm7
Faith and inspiraton
   C                               G
Oh why can't we have peace all the time?

    A/G               [ch]Cm/G[/ch]          G
Is something there's not too plenty of
    G       A/G
And time is governed 
         [ch]Cm/G[/ch]        G
By the almighty up above

Peter Hallett sang the song, but somehow it was released as "Peace by Peter Gosling".
Gosling did write the song.
I can not find anything on internet about the song/performer.
Who knows the real story of this classic?
