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
