^GHeaven on Earth ^CWe need it now ^GI'm sick of all of this ^CHanging around

^GSick of sorrow ^CI'm sick of the pain ^AmiI'm sick of hearing ^DAgain and again That there's ^Amigonna be ^GPeace on Earth

^GWhere I grew up ^CThere weren't many trees ^GWhere there was we'd tear them down ^CAnd use them on our enemies

^GThey say that what you mock ^CWill surely overtake you ^AmiAnd you become a monster ^DSo the monster will not break you

And ^Amiit's already gone too far You said that if you go in hard You ^Gwon't get hurt

^GJesus can you take the time To ^Amithrow a drowning man a line ^EmiPeace on ^CEarth

^GTell the ones who hear no sound Whose ^Amisons are living in the ground ^EmiPeace on ^CEarth

^GNo who's or why's ^AmiNo one cries like a mother cries For ^Emipeace on Earth

She ^Gnever got to say goodbye To ^Amisee the color in his eyes Now he's ^Emiin the dirt ^GPeace on Earth

^GThey're reading names out ^COver the radio ^GAll the folks the rest of us ^CWon't get to know

^AmiSean and Julia ^DGareth, Anne, and Breeda ^AmiTheir lives are bigger than ^DAny big idea

^GJesus can you take the time To ^Amithrow a drowning man a line ^EmiPeace on ^CEarth

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

^G Peace on Earth ^C Peace on Earth ^G Peace on Earth
