Heaven on earth
We need it now
Im sick of all of this
Hanging around

Sick of sorrow
Im sick of the pain
Im sick of hearing
Again and again
That theres gonna be
Peace on earth

Where I grew up
There werent many trees
Where there was wed tear them down
And use them on our enemies

They say that what you mark
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

And its already gone too far
You said that if you go in hard
You wont get hurt

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on earth

Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on earth

No whos or whys
No one cries like a mother cries
For peace on earth

She never got to say goodbye
To see the color in his eyes
Now hes in the dirt
Peace on earth

Theyre reading names out
Over the radio
All the folks the rest of us
Wont get to know

Sean and julia
Gareth anne and peter
Their lives are bigger than
Any bigger

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on earth

To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on earth

Jesus in the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on earth

Hear it every christmas time
But hope and history wont rhyme
So whats it worth

This peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
