Chalee Tennison Peace Lyrics

Peace Lyrics

I heard about these kids walkin' on a train track

Forty tons of steel bearing down on them

And they just turned their backs

Channel five, 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 gotten



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



If you don't know what to say

Just look up to heaven's face and whisper, 'Peace'
