As long as we say prayers for our children
That we do not pray for others
There won't be...
And as long as we take offerings for those in need
To appease our guilt over our greed
There won't be...
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be, there won't be
Won't be peace
When a Chinese girl and a Haitian boy
And an American child all share the same toys
There might be, there might be...
When the TV brings a tear to our eyes
And it's not a movie, but news of a hungry child across the world
There might be...
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be, there might be
Might be peace
When I look at the world and see...
(Rap:)
We got a problem
We're seeing the surfaces too often
Whether race or religion
It makes no difference
The blood paid penance
Forgiven the death sentence
No lines no more, no rich, no poor
No Jew, no Greek, no slave, no free
When I look at you and see someone just like me
There might be, there might be...
When the Lord of all is the Lord of each
And I love you like He loves me
There might be...
No, there will be
