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
