Peace Like a River

[Verse 1]

Ooh, peace like a river ran through the city

Long past the midnight curfew, we sat starry eyed, oh

Oh, and I remember misinformation followed us like a plague

Nobody knew from time to time if the plans were changed, oh

If the plans were changed

[Chorus]

Yeah, you can beat us with wires

You can beat us with chains

Yeah, you can run out your rules

But you know there ain't no use

Oh, peace like a river

[Verse 2]

Ooh, four in the morning I woke up from out of my dream

Nowhere to go but back to sleep, but I’m reconciled

Oh, I'm gonna be up for a while

Yeah, I'm gonna be up for a while

Yeah, I'm gonna be up for a while, oh

[Chorus]

Go on, yeah, beat us with wires (hey yeah)

Go on, why don't you beat us with chains

You can run out your rules

But you know there ain't no use, no

Oh yeah, peace like a river

Oh

(Oh, peace like a river)
