Prince of Peace Songtext

von Leon Russell

(Leon Russell-Greg Dempsey)

Try and judge me by my time and changes
And not mistaken words, for I say many.
Listen closely to my song and watch my eyes;
There's not much time to speak, there's hardly any.

Never treat a brother like a passing stranger -
Always try to keep the love light burning -
Listen only to his song and watch his eyes
For he might be the prince of peace returning.
Yes, he might be the prince of peace returning.

Love the blind and wounded as you would yourself.
And the businessmen in cells collecting pennies -
Judge their wealth by the coins that they give away
And not the one they keep themselves from spending.

Never be impatient with the ones who love you;
It might be your own self that you're burning.
Listen only to their songs and watch their eyes,
For he might be the prince of peace returning.
