Lennon's Imagine.
U2's Peace on Earth (lyrics below - they still give me shivers and bring tears to my eyes).
Heaven on EarthWe need it nowI'm sick of all of thisHanging aroundSick of sorrowSick of the painSick of hearingAgain and againThat there's gonna bePeace on Earth
Where I grew upThere weren't many treesWhere there was we'd tear them downAnd use them on our enemiesThey say that what you mockWill surely overtake youAnd you become a monsterSo the monster will not break you
It's already gone too farWho said that if you go in hardYou won't get hurt
Jesus, can you take the timeTo throw a drowning man a line?Peace on EarthTell the ones who hear no soundWhose sons are living in the groundPeace on EarthNo whos or whysNo-one cries like a mother criesFor peace on EarthShe never got to say goodbyeTo see the colour in his eyesNow he's in the dirtPeace on Earth
They're reading names outOver the radioAll the folks, the rest of usWon't get to knowSean and JuliaGareth, Ann and BredaTheir lives are bigger thanAny big idea
Jesus can you take the timeTo throw a drowning man a linePeace on EarthTo tell the ones who hear no soundWhose sons are living in the groundPeace on EarthJesus in the song you wroteThe words are sticking in my throatPeace on EarthHear it every Christmas timeBut hope and history won't rhymeSo what's it worth?This peace on Earth
Peace on EarthPeace on EarthPeace on Earth
