Peace On Earth (Remastered 2020)

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 Ann and Breda

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 this 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
