Peace has broken out

My dear sweet Ireland
So long fighting
How came this war to be
Carson against Connelly
But you stood through hard rain
Till one day the word came:

Peace has broken out
No one knows why
It's happened now
We just give thanks
That it's come around
Peace has broken out
Hearts broken out

Still other fights rage on
East, West, right and wrong
Some in God's name begin
Bloody lies breaking Him
Still He'd let us lay down
Our swords on this Holy ground

Did you hear that peace...

Did you know that we're all black and we're all white?
We're all wrong and we're all right
And them and we is you and me

I live next door to you
Hardly know you

So I will surrender
And I will surrender
