Oh, peace
And a harmony is the key
You gotta make up your mind and do it
Won't, won't ya, yeah, yeah

Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world (and the world) will be a better place
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
For you (for you) and me (and me)
