Peace On Earth
We started out as friends, sisters, brothers,
And even lovers not expecting for our world
To be in such turmoil
There are brothers and sisters fighting for
Our country now over simple issues such as oil
Where is the love? and whatever happened to
Peace on earth
Where has the love amongst each other gone
And what is it worth?
When we're constantly killing, stealing, and
Just plain hurting one another
Instead of taking the time to just say " i
Love you my sister or my brother"
One by one we're falling off the face of the
Earth like dried up petals of a flower
If we could only heal the wounds of the world
And spread more love as a weapon of power
Then maybe someday there would once again be
"peace on earth".
