Peace Songtext
von Chalee Tennison

I heard about these kids walking on a train track
Forty tons of steel bearing down on them
And they just turned their backs
Channel 5 asked the one who survived
"Son, why′d you do such a thing?"
No reply, but his eyes cried

"Peace, I just need some peace
If I have to I'll do anything
Don′t need your love or your sympathy
But I cannot go on living without peace"


I know a man who sits and stares at a kitchen cabinet door
That hides a whiskey bottle he hasn't touched since
Well, this is day four
He told his wife this time he'd try
As she was just about to leave
No reply, but her eyes cried

"Peace, I just need some peace
If I have to I′ll do anything
Don′t need your love or your sympathy
But I cannot go on living without peace"

I have a friend who's looking for God
A few good self-help books is as far as she′s got
Say a prayer tonight for that desperate child
Say a prayer tonight for that man and his wife
Say a prayer for the searching, hurting for the one thing we all need
And if you don't know what to say, just look up to Heaven′s face

And whisper "peace" (we all need some peace)
