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
