These are lines from the song "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens...

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come

And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one

And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train

Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Oh peace train sounding louder

Glide on the peace train

Come on now peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train

Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too

Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you

And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is

Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train

Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Everyone jump upon the peace train

Come on peace train

Yes, it's the peace train...

May there be peace in your neck of the wood soon. But most of all, may there be peace in Mindanao, Philippines.

  1. peace is a two-way street.  all sides must be willing to give peace talks a chance to work


  2. WHATs slowing down the peace train...in my opinion, their culture itself.  Dont get me wrong, i dont hate muslims.  For so long a time that peace had been an issue in mindanao, it has been their way of life.  When things arent just right for them, they use force to get it right.  Beheading had been so common and so are clan wars.  So i guess peace, if they are sincere in acquiring it, they will get it...but they have to start at themselves.

    WHOs slowing down? it has become a business opportunity for politicians, a nice platform during campaign period, they get to get funding when insurgency starts...but im still hopeful...very hopeful.

  3. May peace emanate from you.
