I don't know but I've been told about that brother
The Prince of Peace walking around under cover
Nobody knows so nobody tells
About the Prince of Peace why don't you wish him well
He's on a mission, the ultimate ambition
To find peace with no opposition
He wears the crown, cannot cut him down
Dedication is his will do you hear the sound

The Prince of Peace is coming from the East
The Prince of Peace is coming from the East

Born a prince to become a king
The quest of peace is for what he would sing
Although life is not glistening
You get out what you are putting in
He's got the brains, he's got the will
He's got the nerve, he's got the skill
No need to kill, there's a better way still
Love and peace a mission to fulfil
People yearning, hearts are burning
Tongues get numb but we are still not learning
From the past we may not last
The coming of the prince is the only chance

Sit down at the table join with peace
There's a voice in the air and it's blowing from the East
There is a message with a meaning
Everybody must be free
Come take a stand with the Prince of Peace
Come make a stand with the Prince of Peace

Recording of Martin Luther King 1968 interview)

The Prince of Peace is coming from the East
The Prince of Peace is coming from the East
