Peace Like a River

[Verse 1]

Oh, peace like a river ran through the city

Long past the midnight curfew we sat starry-eyed

Oh, we were satisfied

[Verse 2]

Oh, and I remember misinformation followed us like a plague

Nobody knew from time to time if the plans were changed

Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed

[Bridge]

You can beat us with wires

You can beat us with chains

You can run out your rules

But you know you can’t outrun the history train

I‘ve seen a glorious day, ahee

Hee

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]

Oh, four in the morning I woke up from out of my dreams

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

Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while

Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while

Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
