"A Desperate Benediction (Peace On Earth)"

[Intro:]
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

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 on 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 the 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

[Chorus:]
Peace on the poor man, peace on the king
The radio fliers and the broken wings
Let there be peace, oh, let there be peace
On the babies bein' born and the roses on the grave
The losers and winners and the fearful and the brave
We're all brothers and sister cryin' to the Father
For peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Oh, let there be peace on Earth
Oh, let there be peace on Earth

[Post-Chorus:]
And let it start with me (Peace on Earth)
Oh, let it start with me, yeah (Peace on Earth)

[Outro:]
Peace on Earth (Peace on Earth)
Peace on Earth
Let it start with me
