Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind

Peace On Earth Lyrics

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

 You 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 who's or why's

 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, Anne, and Breeda

 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

 So what's it worth

 

 This peace on Earth

 Peace on Earth

 Peace on Earth

 Peace on Earth
