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 mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you



And 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 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 Brita
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
