Heaven on Earth

We need it now

I'm sick of all of this

Hanging around





Sick of sorrow

I'm sick of the pain

I'm sick of hearing

Again and again

That 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

Gareth, Ann, and Breda

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 this 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

So what's it worth





This peace on Earth

Peace on Earth

Peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
