Peace

(Leslie Satcher)

 

I heard about these kids walkin’ on a train track

Forty tons of steel bearin’ down on them and

They just turned their back

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 to 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

He has (hides) a whiskey bottle he has touched since

Well, this is day four

He told his wife it was time he tried

As she was just about to leave

No reply but her eyes cried

 

Chorus

 

And 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
