Peace

BACK TO LYRICS

Album: Never Give Up
Music & Lyrics: Alexis Vear
Secret: I wrote Peace in an airport, 2 weeks before 9/11. I was going through a stressful period in my life. I was begging for peace. I did not realize that in just two weeks America would be begging for that same peace, and that our country would be entering into a period of great fear.

Peace, baby peace why don’t you rescue me
I’m burnin up and its a million degrees

I’m tired of fire
Cut me from the wires
I’m tired of fire
Cut me from the wires that bind me

Peace I’ve been asking for you to come
If you don’t hurry I will come undone
But you’ll find me here, binded with fear
Please answer me; just let me see your peace

Peace, I have felt you in me darkest hour
Peace, I have cried from your calming power
But it’s gone astray and left me dismayed
When you are near I’ve got no fear

Come cool me off let me see your face
Breathe into me your redeeming grace
I’m waiting here, thank you for being near
I’m waiting here for
Peace

Peace, baby peace why don’t you rescue me
I’m burnin up and its a million degrees
Peace, baby peace why don’t you rescue me
