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 with out stretched hands
|
Lay down your weapons of the war you will not need them anymore
|
Bow down instead 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 land 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...
|
Peace on earth begins today
