This is a song that came about
42
254330
4000
04:18
because I think it's difficult to be in the world
43
258330
4000
04:22
and not be aware of what's going on,
44
262330
2000
04:24
and the wars and so forth.
45
264330
5000
04:29
This song kind of came out of all of that.
46
269330
4000
04:33
And I wrote a lot of happy songs on my first record,
47
273330
7000
04:40
which I still stand by,
48
280330
2000
04:42
but this has got something else in it.
49
282330
2000

It's called "Peace on Earth."

♫ No faith in God to save the day. ♫
53
309330
4000
05:13
♫ There is no reason, no understanding ♫
54
313330
4000
05:17
♫ no sacred place to hide away. ♫
55
317330
4000

♫ There is no earnest conversation. ♫
56
321330
5000
