Peace on the Earth (Peace of the Pie)
What's the status today
Of that offer proclaimed
On the hillside near Bethlehem
The angels had said
"Peace on the earth
God's goodwill and favor"
On those who could see
True Light come through a birth
In a tiny, helpless boy
Wrapped in cloths of purest joy?
O, this Christmastime
Get a piece of the pie
Of gladness and peace on the earth
It's not too much to ask
A presumptuous request
For a piece of the peace on the earth
It's not exactly the peace
That we thought that we'd need
Not so much about respite from
Injustice, disease
No it's our warfare with God
We'd been waging all along
Armistice comes through a man on the cross
It's the war that ends all wars
That this boy was born here for
Of that offer proclaimed
On the hillside near Bethlehem
The angels had said
"Peace on the earth
God's goodwill and favor"
On those who could see
True Light come through a birth
In a tiny, helpless boy
Wrapped in cloths of purest joy?
O, this Christmastime
Get a piece of the pie
Of gladness and peace on the earth
It's not too much to ask
A presumptuous request
For a piece of the peace on the earth
It's not exactly the peace
That we thought that we'd need
Not so much about respite from
Injustice, disease
No it's our warfare with God
We'd been waging all along
Armistice comes through a man on the cross
It's the war that ends all wars
That this boy was born here for
