Verse 1

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

Chorus

That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth

Verse 2

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

Pre-Chorus

And it's already gone too far
You said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Chorus

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   

Verse 3

They're reading names out
Over the radio
All the folks the rest of us
Won't get to know

Pre-Chorus

Sean and Julia
Gareth, Anne, and Breeda
Their lives are bigger than
Any big idea

Chorus

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 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
