The Lord made this planet of beauty and grace Where peace is the ruler and love has its place Destruction's around The tormenting sound Hate lives within and it's fed by sin We've got brutalization, fornication, false witness and feeble lies Where is the peace now? Where is the love now? Can't somebody hear our cries? I have heard your prayers Child, I've wept your tears In this world of heart-corruption You can not be hurt We're plagued by war, the inhuman gore Tormented souls living scattered like crows We're controlled by greed, the everlasting need Always wanting more until something dies Where is the peace now? Where is the love now? Can't somebody hear our cries? I have heard your prayers Child, I've wept your tears In this world of self-destruction You can break free The Lord sent His only son So that he who receives Him need not fear the terrors of this world Because He is above the world and the battle is already won (Genesis 1:31, Isaiah 38:5, Isaiah 25:8, John 3:16)
