peace on earth songs of surrender

U2

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I m sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of the sorrow
And sick of the pain
And 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 were 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
And tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No who s or why
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
Yeah, peace on Earth

They re reading names out over the radio
All of the folks, the rest of us will never get to know
And 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
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
Jesusin the song they 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

Yeah, peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
