thomas austin - peace lyrics

[verse 1, thomas]
sometimes it feels like a river
attending to my way
as the sorrows and the sea billows roll
sometimes it filters through the window
in the morning when i wake
turning everything it touches into gold

[chorus 1]
but it doesn’t come when i call it
or stay when i want it
it flies away the moment it’s released
cause it’s the cardinal at the feeder
singing loud the song of eden
peace, peace, peace

[verse 2, chris]
sometimes it hits mе like a hammer
and shoves mе to the ground
to lie among the mess that i have made
sometimes it offers me a hand
pulls me to my feet again
while knowing i’ll return to my old ways

[chorus 2]
but it doesn’t come when i call it
or stay when i want it
i’ve heard it in the park beneath the trees
no, it’s the swirling storm of violence
that never+ending silence
peace, peace, peace
[verse 3, thomas]
sometimes i see it in a garden
plunging into darkness
pleading for another cup to drink
sometimes i see it dying slow
spewing mercy as it goes
with a will that’s writ in blood instead of ink

[chorus 3]
but it doesn’t come when i call it
or stay when i want it
go to waste when i spill it
or die when i k!ll it

and i never do expect it
i never could protect it
it’s nothing like i thought that it would be

oh, it’s the laughing and the crying
the living and the dying
peace, peace, peace
