Lyrics
Peace On Earth
Verse 1
Up in the winter sky
A Star that shines so bright
In times as dark as these, my friends
We all should see the light
Chorus
I got everything I need.
I don’t care what it’s worth
It’s a little price to pay
I’d give it all away
For peace on earth
Verse 2
There’s a prayer out in the desert
At either end of loaded guns.
There are prayers right here at home, oh Lord,
For our daughters and our sons.
Chorus
I got everything I need.
I don’t care what it’s worth
It’s a little price to pay
I’d give it all away
For peace on earth
Verse 3
Bombs fill the winter sky
In darkness mercy grieves
There’s a star that lights the way, my friend,
For us all on Christmas Eve.
Chorus
I got everything I need.
I don’t care what it’s worth
I’d give it all away
On this Christmas Day
For peace on earth
