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
