Porter Wagoner - Peace On Earth Begins Today lyrics

Lay down your weapons of the war peace on earth begins today I dreamed last night a dream so real about a blood drenched battlefield With weapons aimed and set to k** a perfect stranger on the hill Then something made me hesitate a voice I swear I heard say wait And there before me stood a man in snow white robe with out stretched hands Lay down your weapons of the war you will not need them anymore Bow down instead your head and pray peace on earth begins today I saw the man I nearly k**ed throw down his weapons on the hill Like long lost brothers then we cried and clambered down the mountain side And there upon the meadow green we saw what eyes have never seen For all the leaders of the land were gathered there shaking hands And in their midst a stranger strolled with nail scared hands and a snow white robe Lay down your weapons... Peace on earth begins today
