Lyrics

He was twenty-one 
if you believe what he wrote down 
on the paper that the sergeant 
made him sign
he never held a gun 
never been too far from home
and he'd never had a night 
like this in mind

they moved him to the front 
and left him with one order
don't give up that hole 
we made you dig
he took a picture out 
and then he read some letters
closed his eyes 
said the lord my shepherd is

peace comes stealing slow
falls like silent snow
swings down sweet and low
peace comes stealing slow

she was on the street 
and looking for some shelter
beaten down 
and weary of this world
shivering from the cold 
and crazy from the voices
she dreams of summers 
when she was a girl 

we live in a world 
of trials and tribulations
people filled 
with hatred everywhere
so we bow our heads
and we raise our voices
offer our petition 
in this prayer

peace come stealing slow
fall like silent snow
swing down sweet and low
peace come stealing slow
