Does the world ever seem like a nightmare?
Some suffer but the other ones don't care
What does it matter if it's going on elsewhere
Like it doesn't happen if it's not happening hereThere's a girl with only a mother
And her dad just won't seem to bother
No love, so she finds a lover
Now she has a child who doesn't have a fatherI hope the Prince of Peace is coming soon
Yeah, I hope the Prince of Peace is coming soon
We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun,
'Cause we won't need them when the Kingdom comesWhen the communists turn into the terrorists,
But the Axis came before the Soviets
And before that, came the confederates
Well always have a war to fight; you can count on thisWith every cure, there comes another sickness
The earth dies with every bit of progress
We've gone deaf to the cries of oppressed
What we need is Jesus to redeem usI hope the Prince of Peace is coming soon
Yeah, I hope the Prince of Peace is coming soon
We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun,
'Cause we won't need them when the Kingdom comes
No, we won't need them when the Kingdom comesNow the world doesn't work, 'cause we've broken it
And we need dope or Prozac just to cope with it
Now the beast speaks his peace to the congress
Plans to propagate "proposition 666"Hitler's still alive in the knives of abortionists
And the news twists the truth like contortionists
And they wonder what happened to humanity
You say peace, but were headed for calamityI hope the Prince of Peace is coming soon
Yeah, I hope the Prince of Peace is coming soon
We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun
'Cause we won't need them when the Kingdom comesWe long for the day when we will see...
The heavens and the earth as they should be
