Peace Like A River

歌詞

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 go 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 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 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
