Bono – Peace On Earth lyrics

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I´m sick of all of this hangin´around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of pain
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 teared them down
And use them on our enemies
They said that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not brake u

It´s already gone to far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won´t get hurt

Jesus, could you take the time
To throw a drownin´man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are livin´on 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 colour in his eyes
Now he´s in the dirt
That´s 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 Breda
Their lives are bigger than any big idea

Jesus, could you take the time
To throw a drownin´man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are livin´on the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus, this song you wrote
These words are stickin´in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won´t rhyme
So what´s it worth?
Is peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
