Peace On Earth (4:46) [All That You Can't Leave
Behind]
Heaven on
earth, we need it now
I'm sick of all of this, hanging around
Sick of sorrow, sick of the pain
And sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be peace on earth
Where i grew
up, there werent many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely ovetake you
And you
become a monster
Soon a monster will not break you
And it's already gone too far
You said that if you go in hard
You wont get hurt
Jesus can you
take your 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 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 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 songs are living in the ground
Peace on earth
Jesus and the
song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on earth
Hear it every
christmas time
But hope and history will not rhyme
So what's it worth
There's peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
