Peace River

[bad word] from a place [bad word] by a man named Mr. Peace
He took everything and he wanted more
Gun and a knife and he used them both

Smack you in the head in a public
He kicked you down and he think nothing of it
Take your head down, swallow your pride
If you wanna live to see the night

I guess I had my fill
I ran from the valley to the top of the hill
And even though I got away
I couldn't shake Mr. Peace

I've fulfilled all my desires
I couldn't put out the fire
Thing going in my head
That I need to put to rest

So I would take off, fly off
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Checked on a day given me you calling
I’m done falling

So I could take off, fly off
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Swear the little kids begging for mouth
Oh ho, darling

I packed my bags and ran
To a place I promised I'd never been
Call my phone but cowardly stains
It turned me to a cowardly man

Y'all wouldn't believe what I've seen
Mr. Peace he was broke at the knees
Somebody so brave and strong
Just turned weak and worn

The fear, it disappeared
And the hate, it followed
Could the place it occupied
Be replaced by love and light

So I would...
