Peace On Earth

As long as we say prayers for our children
That we do not pray for others
There won't be

And as long as we take offerings for those in need
To appease our guilt over our greed
There won't be

There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be, there won't be
Won't be peace

When a Chinese girl and a Haitian boy
And an American child all share the same toys
There might be, there might be

When the TV brings a tear to our eyes
And it's not a movie but news of a hungry child across the world
There might be

There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be, there might be
Might be peace

When I look at the world and see
We got a problem, we're seeing the surfaces too often
Whether race or religion, it makes no difference
The blood paid penance, forgiven the death sentence
No lines no more, no rich, no poor

No Jew, no Greek and no slave, no free
When I look at you and see someone just like me
There might be, there might be
There might be, there might be

When the Lord of all is the Lord of each
And I love you like He loves me
There might be
No, there will be

There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be, there might be
There might be
