[Verse 1]
There's no one around, you don't have to pretend anymore
The anger the pain, what is it all for?
I would cry on your shoulder but I don't know where to begin
Look around you, look around us, how can we possibly win?
His grace will come down on us
His grace will come down on us

[Chorus]
Peace to your people on earth
Peace to my people on earth
Peace to his people on earth

[Verse 2]
Desolate people have no way home, this time I can't be their guide
War, hunger, killing and rage, there's too much for this little box to hide
His grace will come down on us
His grace will come down on us

[Chorus]
Peace to your people on earth
Peace to my people on earth
Peace to his people on earth
