This tired soldier knows his war too well
The foreign battlefield where unknown hero's fell
He'll lay his rifle down another day is gone
Sitting by the campfire he sings a Christmas song
Peace, peace on this Christmas
Peace this holy day
Peace in the hope that man
Will find a better way
Peace in the manger
Where the promise child lay
Peace and joy of the Christmas day
Tonight the weary soldier strums on his guitar
He aches to be back home where all his love ones are
So on this Christmas eve there seems no cause so great
Warmed by the fire's glow the war will have to wait
Peace, peace on this Christmas
Peace this holy day
Peace in the hope that man
Will find a better way
Peace in the manger
Where the promise child lay
Peace and joy of the Christmas day
This tired soldier feels so all alone
He prays that soon he'll see his family and his home
Closes his eyes and smiles a lonely church bell rings
And as the fire dies it's Christmas in his dreams
Peace, peace on this Christmas
Peace this holy day
Peace in the hope that man
Will find a better way
Peace in the manger
Where the promise child lay
Peace and joy of the Christmas day
