It’s been a really hard year
Many more heartaches than we bargained for
So much loss all around us
‘Tween hurricanes and desert wars
To be perfectly honest
I’m ready for December to end
Take away all these nightmares
And dream again, and dream again.
Refrain:
I don’t have a long list of things I don’t need
What I want costs more than I deserve
So Jesus, if you’re listening, Christmas Eve
We could use some peace on earth
We could use some peace on earth
So may hearts have been broken
Shattered by life’s unexpected turns
Beaten down but still hoping
The prayers they pray are being heard
Refrain
Bridge:
Oh prince of peace, it’s you I need
Among this chaos and all this debris
Refrain X 2
