peace-on-earth

(Verse 1) The world is weary, burdened by its strife Borders drawn with anger, a world divided by life Weapons rattle warnings, beneath a troubled sky But a tiny voice keeps calling, for a reason to ask why (Chorus) Why can't there be peace on earth? Goodwill to all, a universal birth Let the trumpets blare a different sound Peace on earth, let love be found (Verse 2) Children play with soldiers, drawn in lines of sand Innocence so fragile, in a world they can't withstand Leaders filled with fury, shout across the sea But a simple touch of kindness, could set our spirits free (Chorus) Why can't there be peace on earth? Goodwill to all, a universal birth Let the drums beat out a different sound Peace on earth, let love be found (Bridge) Hands that clench to weapons, can open up in grace Building bridges of forgiveness, to a brighter, gentler space Lay down the heavy burdens, let understanding rise Love is the only language, that raktak (Chorus) Why can't there be peace on earth? Goodwill to all, a universal birth Let the choirs sing a joyful sound Peace on earth, let love be found (Outro) Peace on earth, a dream we chase A future where love takes its place In every heart, a hope may start For peace on earth
