Peace on Earth Tonight

Barry

This is a collab from the old site with Curtis Campbell who was gracious enough to help with music vocals and production. There was a Christmas song writing challenge going on and I had looked into the eyes of a guy asking for money at a red light and tried to imagine Christmas from his point of view. Another friend of mine created the video linked below for me. Curtis talked me into the name change from Cardboard Christmas.

Peace on Earth Tonight

Campbell / Williams 2012

Sittin’ in the darkness,

 I can hear the bells

Ringin’ for the Son of God,

 the first noel,

Reminds me how he was born,

and walked without sin

As I pull my blanket close

hidin' from the wind

I want to go home to my family

I need to see my father's eyes

Let Mommas love surround me

Need to find some peace on earth tonight

Stopped by the mission

Hoped to find a bed

Kinda like when he was born

No where to lay my head

I can see their pretty lights

And I hear them sing

But tonight, my Christmas tree

Protects me from the rain

I want to go home to my family

I need to see my father's eyes

Let Mommas love surround me

Need to find some peace on earth tonight

Living through your twist of fate

Has got me on my knees

Wonderin’ Lord why ya left me here

And took them all from me

X2

Lord Take me home to my family

I long to stand in your light

Let your love surround me

Let me find some peace on earth tonight.

Help me find some peace on earth tonight
