I heard about these kids walking on a train track
40 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 cry
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
But she was just about to leave
No reply but her eyes cry
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 And if you don't
know what to say just look up to heaven's face and whisper peace
I'll need some peace
