lyrics

If I had my selfish way
I'd feed all of the hungry poor
and everyone who didn't have
would end up with a little more
but maybe there's no way to tend
to every little living thing
if peace on earth is too much to ask
could you spare a little peace for me?

I'd take the bullets from their guns
and turn them into shooting stars
I'd give the mothers back their sons
and teach them how to mend their hearts
but some things don't change over night
or even after the weekend
if peace on earth is too much to ask
could you spare a little peace for them?

I don't remember when I last sat
folded with my hands in prayer
I don't know why I should expect
the universe to care
but maybe some hail marys are
just touchdowns waiting for a team
if peace on earth is too much to ask
could you spare a little peace for me?
