Peace On Earth Begins Today Lyrics

(Larry Kingston)

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

Peace on earth begins today...
