Peace on Earth ?2008 by tommy wiggins

What would you do
If you woke up on Christmas morning
And all the killing guns lay on the ground?
Every creed and color lived together
And all the little babies safe and sound ? there?d be

Peace on Earth? everybody singing
Peace on Earth? the guns lay on the ground
Peace on Earth? get them bells a ringin? all around
Back in my hometown

What would you do
If you woke on Christmas morning
And no one sees the color of your skin?
Rich man and the poor man walk together
Open any door and they?ll let you in ? there?d be

Peace on Earth? everybody singing
Peace on Earth? guns lay on the ground
Peace on Earth? get them bells a ringin? all around
Back in your hometown

Props go to Denny Hemmingson (guitar) and Chris Mara (recording) down in Nashville and Groovy Dave (bass) and Dave Towne (recording) up in Ohio for lending their talents to this hopeful prayer.

Thanks Tommy. We're still waiting for that day.

Peace on earth - U2

Peace on earth

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 mark
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 peter
Their lives are bigger than
Any bigger

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
