Chalee Tennison - Peace lyrics

rate me

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

(Chorus)

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

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...

(Repeat Chorus)

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

And if you don't know what to say

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