Peace on the mountain
Peace in the valley
Peace on the bulls on wall street
And the lost sheep in the alley
Peace on the painted desert
Down the Mississippi river
Peace on the takers and
Peace to all the givers
Peace in the blessing and the curse
Oh, let there be peace on earth
Oh, let there be peace on earth

Peace on the lovers
Peace on the leavers
Peace on the doubters
And peace on the true believers
The star in the spotlight
The addict in the shadows
The divers in the deep end
And drowners in the shallows

For all I'm not and all it's worth
Oh, let there be peace on earth
Oh, let there be peace on earth

Peace on the poor man
Peace on the king
The radio flyers and the broken wings
Let there be peace
Oh, let there be peace on
The babies being born
And the roses on the grave
The losers the winners
And the fearful and the brave
We're all brothers and sisters
Crying to the Father for

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Oh, let there be
Peace on earth
Oh, let there be
Peace on earth
And let it start with me
(Peace on earth)
Oh, let it start with me
(Peace on earth)

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Let it start with me
