Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around

Sick of sorrow
Sick of the pain
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
It's already gone too far
Who 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 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

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
