Heaven on Earth we need it now I'm sick of all of this hanging around Sick of sorrow, sick of the pain I'm sick of hearing again and again There's gonna be peace on Earth
Where I grew up There weren't many trees Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you And you become a monster So the monster will not break you
And it's already gone too far Who said that if you go in hard, you won't 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 he's in the dirt Peace on Earth
They're reading names out over the radio All the folks, the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Garreth, Ann and Brenda Their lives are bigger than any big idea
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 won't rhyme
