Peace On Earth (Songs of Surrender)

Heaven on Earth, we need it now

I'm sick of all of this hanging around

Sick of the sorrow and sick of the pain

And 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 were 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 alrеady gone too far

Who said that if you go in hard

You won't get hurt?

Jesus, can you takе the time

To throw a drowning man a line, "Peace on Earth"?

And tell the ones who hear no sound

Whose sons are living in the ground, peace on Earth

No who's or why, no one cries like a mother cries

For peace on Earth

She never got to say goodbye

To see the colour in his eyes, now he's in the dirt

Yeah, peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio

All of the folks, the rest of us, will never get to know

And 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"?

Tell the ones who hear no sound

Whose sons are living in the ground, peace on Earth

Jesus, in the song they 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?

Yeah, peace on Earth

Peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
