Rachelle Ferrell - "Peace On Earth"
Recorded live 8/18/1994 at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, RI
How can we have peace in the Middle East
When there's none at home?
How can we have understanding in the land
When there's none in the woman and there's none in the man?
How can we heal the wounds of the world
If we cannot heal our own?
And where does this peace on earth begin
Or do we get up and fight?
Surely we know how to conquer all our fear
Bring an end to the violence
Bring an end to the tears
How can we heal the wounds of the world
If we cannot heal our own?
And where does this peace on earth begin
Well, there's too much talk about it
And too many walk without it
Where is the God in your life?
To my left a woman abuses her children
To my right somebody's beating his wife
Tell me, where is the love?!
Where is the God in your life?!
How can we heal the wounds of the world
If we cannot heal our own?
And where does this peace on earth begin
