Standard (EADGBE)

Love was a lesson we tried to learn

There were no exams to pass or fail

 Only heartbreaks, renew our faith

Life was a lesson we've tried to learn

There were no tests to pass, no license to gain

 Only win or lose, renew our faith

 Renew our faith, let us see

 Fifties child was right to believe

 Peace and love were our needs

 The need to be free

War is a lesson we've had to learn

We had to learn to kill, to destroy and burn

 But our spirits cry, renew our faith

Peace is a lesson we've yet to learn

A prize for all mankind who race for the gain

 Of love and harmony, renew our faith

 Renew our faith, let us see

 Fifties child was right to believe

 Peace and love were our needs

 The need to be free

 Renew our faith, let us see

 Young and old we're right to believe

 Peace and love are our needs

 The need to be free
