Peace In The Valley - Lani Hall

Looking out my window

Peace in the valley just don’t come

Though I know that man’s my brother

And that I’m the selfish one

The hour is getting later

It’s time we had begun

Knowing something’s one thing

But the race must still be run

Take care of little jealousies

And talk that kills for fun

And hold your heart in readiness

It’s so easy to come undone

But I think I saw a brand new light

Coming over the horizon

Brighter than all the others

And it says all men are brothers under the skin

Brothers under the skin

Looking out my window

Peace in the valley just don’t come

Though I know that she’s my sister

And that I’m the selfish one

And I look at all the people

And I love the ones I can

And I wonder if the dream will be

Or be turned into sand

Still I think I saw a brand new light

Coming over the horizon

Brighter than all the others

And it says all men are brothers under the skin

Brothers under the skin

Peace in the valley just don’t come
