Lyrics
PEACEFUL EARTH Copyright (c) 2007 Eric Severson Sound clips licensed for commercial use through Audiosparx Fmaj7 C It's a peaceful earth tonight, Fmaj7 C From this distance everything looks right. Fmaj7 Am G G When you see the world from outer space, it's a peaceful place. Fmaj7 C It's a peaceful earth tonight, Fmaj7 C Streaks of blue against a swirl of white Fmaj7 Am G G Cities glowing in majestic light, it's a peaceful sight. Dm G Standing on this distant shore Em Am I hear a mighty ocean roar; Dm G Feel the starlight touch my face, Em Am Caught in waves of time and space; F G And everything’s as it should be, Fmaj7 G Can’t you see? F You know the world is HARD, always in my FACE C All I know about life is from THIS place. F I’m PUSHED to the floor, the WORLD just tore C My heart apart, and I don't CARE no more. Fmaj7 I’m CRUSHED by war, and hate and FEAR Am G If there's good in this life, I don't SEE it here, no I don’t SEE it here. Fmaj7 C It's a peaceful earth I know, Fmaj7 C Wish it felt like that from down below. Fmaj7 Am G G But if there's poverty or hate and fear, I don't see it here. Fmaj7 C It's a peaceful earth tonight, Fmaj7 C From this distance everything looks right. Fmaj7 Am G How I wish they all could feel like this; it’s a peaceful wish.
