Peace - by Bevie LaBrie

Peace

 

The Lillies of the Valley, the Daisies of the field;

Change with every season, sleep peacefully and yield.

My Child learn from these; Let my raindrops roll off of you.

My Child learn from these; rest be assured I’ve got my eyes on you.

 

Peace be still; Peace be still

 

How precious are your thoughts toward me if I should count the sum of them

How vast are the grains of sand, your thoughts toward me they outnumber them

My child learn from these; let the grains of sand sift through

My child learn from these; rest be assured I’ve got my eyes on you.

 

Peace be still; Peace be still

 

Why do I run why do I fight?

Why am I so scared of myself I want to hide?

Why do I run why do I fight?

Why am I so scared of myself I want to hide?

 

 If I were to dwell in the remotest part of the sea

Even there, your hand would guide me

I find rest in the rythmn of your mind

The waves of your ocean, speak to mine

They say…

 

Peace be still; Peace be still

Peace

Be still.
