Peace On Earth (Songs of Surrender) Lyrics

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
