Peace - The Isaacs

I heard about these kids walkin’on a train track

Forty tons of steel bearin’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 cried

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 got on living without peace

I know a man who sits and stares at kitchen cabinet door

He hides a whiskey bottle he hasn’t touched since

Well, this is day four

He told his wife, this time he would try

She was just about to leave

No reply but her eyes cried

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 hurtin’searchin’for the one thing we all need

If you don’t know what to say

Look up to Heaven’s face

And pray peace
