|
Left here waiting for you, in the darkness of the final hour, |
|
And the stench is more than I can bear |
|
Some here doubt you are true, but your story is burned on my heart |
|
When you talked, lives you changed, when you walked the earth with men |
|
When will these things happen? |
|
Is it foolishness to hope for |
|
Peace on earth, peace on earth |
|
Is it more than hope is worth? |
|
Peace on earth, on earth |
|
And they're gathered against you, 'cause the story never changed |
|
Who can count the foes of Israel? |
|
And haven't you forgotten your promises? |
|
Or at least where the Jordan flows (Let the land give up its kin) |
|
From the north, from the south, let the land give up its kin |
|
Does this need to happen? Is all this bloodshed predestined? |
|
Peace on earth, peace on earth |
|
Is it more than mere hope is worth? |
|
Peace on earth, peace on earth |
|
And I won't be persuaded that it's more than I can hope for |
|
And I won't look away, 'cause it's too much to ignore |
|
All this indiscriminate hatred in the name of the rejected |
|
Might be more than I can change, but I vow never to accept it |
|
How will they know you? |
|
If they won't choose to open their mind? |
|
How will they see you? |
|
If they won't choose to open their eyes? |
|
Open their eyes, open their eyes |
|
Peace on earth, peace on earth |
|
Is it more than hope is worth? |
|
Peace on earth, peace on earth |
|
Peace on earth, on earth |
