	Peace on Earth Street   I live on Earth Street Running through the slums of town Crumbling buildings all around Chalk on the playground In the shape of someone gone Taken just before the dawn Every day the bullets fall like hail Every night we hear the sirens wail There's no sleep on Earth Street tonight Mothers weep on Earth Street tonight There is screaming, crying Bleeding, dying There's no peace on Earth Street Peace on Earth Street tonight I hear a TV Coming through the bedroom walls From my neighbor down the hall News at 11 Fighting in some foreign place Another soldier lost today I can hear the sound of gunshots flying Is it on the news or is it right outside? There's no sleep on Earth Street tonight Mothers weep on Earth Street tonight There is screaming, crying Bleeding, dying There's no peace on Earth Street Peace on Earth Street tonight But I will get up with the light And I will teach my children wrong from right And I will try to do some good in this place Then I will get on my knees and pray There'll be sleep on Earth Street tonight No one weeps on Earth Street tonight No one screaming, crying Bleeding, dying There'll be peace on Earth Street Peace on Earth Street tonight Copyright Jeffrey L.
