JUST BRING PEACE,

In the mall, at Christmas time, a boy and his Mamma stood in line
Waiting to take a picture with Santa Clause
A little girl was in a rush, they let her cut in front
Santa smiled, asked her what she wants
She gave him a photograph, said this soldier is my dad
When the war's done, he'll come back to us
CHORUS:
Just bring peace, make the world better
Families are s'upposed to be together
Love is what we need, just bring peace
They got a big ole tree , lots of gifts you can see
But all they really want is Daddy home
They're so proud he's so brave, they wanna tell him to his face
Hug him hard and not wanna let him go
When that boy climbed on Santas lap, his Ma said "yeah we'd like that
When the war's done, they'll come back to us
CHORUS: repeat
Bridge:
Then Santa looked up toward the skies
Wiping water from his eyes
He said there's only so much I can do
So Lord, I lift this up to you
CHORUS: repeat
