Peace On Earth

I wish that there was peace on earth
Silencing crime, war, and racism
Other than holidays, wedding days, and birthdays
I wish that we could all get alone
Tranquility, happiness, and joy
In a world full of turmoil
It seem to good to be true
As long as we are living 
There will never be true peace on earth
Only when we close our eyes
And depart from this place that we call home
Will we truly know that our peace on earth 
Was nothing but a temporary loan

I like the temporary loan idea, peace is really hard to come by.
