about

786AM's debut single 'Peace Train' is an entirely "Made In Manchester" record as every single person and place involved with it is local to Manchester, UK. Aminah hopes to one day give back to the city that's given us so much by opening community centres in and around Manchester using the proceeds from the sale of this track.

Peace Train is a song that focuses on the fact that we have to realise we are all interconnected through an invisible web of stories, and we all play our part in the world. We have to stop fighting with each other, hating each other, and remember that only love is made.

Only one's the Truth

lyrics

I have been thinkin'
That we would be happier
If we forgot about glory
And learnt to get along
I am not preachin' about no
Science or religion
I'm just sayin'
We should live as one

So

Let's just drop the gun
And get all aboard the peace train
The peace train, the peace train
To everlasting love
The past is where the past belongs
So let's do as lovers do
What we fail to realize
Is one and one ain't two

Now I have been thinkin'
That "Hey, we're so ungrateful!"
The fact that we exist
Is nothing short of a miracle
But that doesn't mean
That we should swing our lives away
What I'm sayin'
Is we should live to praise

So

Let's just drop the gun
And get all aboard the peace train
The peace train, the peace train
To everlasting love
The past is where the past belongs
So let's do as lovers do
What we fail to realize
Is one and one ain't two

Let's get movin' on, movin' on, movin' on
And keep on gettin' on, gettin' on, gettin' on
This world's turnin' on, turnin' on, turnin' on
With or without you
And the day will come
When the sun will rise
From western skies
They'll be nowhere to hide
So stop with starting out fights
Fuelled by hatred and pride

Only one's the Truth
Yeah, only one's the Truth

You see I've been thinkin'
That we would be happier
If we forgot about glory
And learnt to get along
I am not preachin' about no
Science or religion
I'm just sayin'
That we should live as one

Yeah, we should live as one
How can one and one be two (Learn to get along)
When only one's the only Truth
Yeah, only one's the only Truth (There is only one)

And your heart will tell you too
