Peace On Earth Begins Today

Lay down your weapons of the war
Peace on earth begins today

I dreamed last night a dream so real
About a blood drenched battlefield
With weapons aimed and set to kill
A perfect stranger on the hill

Then something made me hesitate
A voice I swear I heard say wait
And there before me stood a man
In snow white robe without stretched hands

Lay down your weapons of the war
You will not need them anymore
Bow down and stead your head and pray
Peace on earth begins today

I saw the man I nearly killed
Throw down his weapons on the hill
Like long lost brothers then we cried
And clambered down the mountain side

And there upon the meadow green
We saw what eyes have never seen
For all the leaders of the lands
Were gathered there shaking hands
And in their midst a stranger strolled
With nail scared hands and a snow white robe

Lay down your weapons of the war...
Peace on earth begins today
