lyrics

WHY IS PEACE SO HARD 130 BPM G
Pettican / Walker

She got up early. Put her best dress on.
Combed her hair. Hummed a gospel song.
Took out her bible, knelt and prayed.
Her son was coming home today.
Didn’t Jesus say.
Love your fellow man.
And one day the lion.
will lie down with the lamb.

She walked to the bus stop as a light rain fell.
Sat all alone she heard some soft church bells.
She pictured her boy walking out the door.
So proud and strong as he left for war.
Didn’t Jesus say.
Love your fellow man.
And one day the lion.
Would lie down with the lamb. X2

Solo Hammond 8 bar

She watched at the airport as his plane came in.
At last, she thought...his war is at an end.
Then she saw his coffin. Flag draped down it’s sides.
She fell on her knees and she cried why? Why? Why?

Why is peace so hard?
Why is peace so hard?
Loves the only answer.
Ain’t it worth a try?
Ain’t it worth a try?

Why is peace so hard?
Why is peace so hard?
Loves the only answer.
Ain’t it worth a try?
Ain’t it worth a try?
Why is peace so hard?
Why is peace so hard?
Loves the only answer.
Ain’t it worth a try?
Ain’t it worth a try?
