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...

Peace on earth begins today
