Peace On Earth
Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear me? Are you there?
I need a friend to lend an ear
A million miles on my bones
I'm a child but I feel so old
Whoa I, I once had faith that guided me
But I, I've paid a price for my beliefs

Now I need some peace on earth
Can you heal my heartache? Can you save my soul?
I'm loking for some peace on earth
I swear once I've found you, I'll never let you go

Through the years, I've walked alone
Guess I've finally reached the end of my road
Faced the fears, felt the rage
Up to now I've lived my life a crying clown inside a cage
Whoa I, I think I've lost my will to be
But I, I hear you calling out to me

Will you be my peace on earth?
Will you heal my heartache, will you save my soul?
I'm looking for peace on earth
I swear once I've found you, I'll never let you go

I'd give all I've got just to find
Somebody to love me, to stay by my side
Then I'd know that come heaven or hell
Everything's gonna be alright

You are my peace on earth
You healed my heartache, saved my soul
You've given me peace on earth
And now that I've found you I won't let you go
You are my peace on earth, peace on earth




You give me peace on earth, I wanted you to know
That it's thanks to you that I'm finally coming home
