Lyrics
  • When There’s Peace on Earth Again Verse: Before us lies a mighty task, with all this world at war, A thousand times the question’s asked, “What are we fighting for?” We’re fighting now for wars to cease, so all the world again may live in peace. Refrain: When there is peace on earth again, the world will be a garden fair, The battle fields, like clouds, will fade away, and turn to meadowlands where children can play
  • Between each land a tie there’ll be, of friendship, love, and sympathy, And ev’ry nation, whether large or small, will know there must be equal rights for all
  • ‘Twill be like sunshine after rain, when there is peace on earth again. Verse: When battles have been fought and won, no conquest will we seek, We’ll have a “Brotherhood of Man,” with justice for the meak [sic]
  • No more will hearts be bowed in pain, for happiness will rule the world again. Refrain
