Peace Songtext
von Ben Rector

Used to want people to love me
So I learned how to sing
Then I thought I wanted money
So I could buy a nice thing
But when I found it, it was as empty as could be
And now I′m staring at my face above a bathroom sink

Saying, "I want peace, it's where I am now
It′s the only thing I haven't found somehow
There are other places, there are a million pretty faces
But I want peace, it's where I am now"


I used to worry about the future, but the future never came
Tried living in the past, but it never did quite feel the same
I used to think that there was a place I would rather be
But I got there enough times to realize that
You are only ever here

That′s when I found peace with where I am now
It′s the only place I'll ever be, I′ve found
There are other places filled with a million pretty faces
But I found peace with where I am now

Through the ups and downs
I have figured out you find peace where you make it
Scenery won't change it
And I wasted so much time
Thinking I could ever find enough of anything
That would bring me peace

So I found peace with who I am now
It′s the only me I'll ever be, I′ve found
There are other places, there are a million other faces
I found peace with who I am now
