Peace Lies Waiting Lyrics

Peace Lies Waiting lyrics

Murder cries the cathedral A hungry hawk, a sword, a ploughshare Set the stage
in Canterbury Seven years and then Peace lies waiting-fugitive, cloistered and
longing Peace lies waiting-hovering above the spearpoints Peace stands higher
than my fragile sense of need Peace I leave with you Not as the world gives or
has ever seen Safe in the ruins Killed but not wounded Pierced with painful joy
When he smiles Even the wind and the rain Close their eyes Hold their fire I've
never seen peace in a vacuum But I've seen it in a bitter sea Safe in the ruins
Killed but not wounded I'm held tightly free
