For those who died...

Peace on Earth

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this hanging around
I'm sick of the 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 walk
Will surely overtake you
And you'll become a monster
So the monster will not break you

And it's already gone too far
You say 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

Don't 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 colour 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

Don't tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
Jesus and the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth

Hear it every Christmas time
But hope that history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?

There's peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
