Peace like a river Blood on the drum Slap me till my cheeks go numb Nothing is easy my father said But my skins never been this red Peace like a river Blood on a drum Pick me up, throw me out in the sun Nothing can hurt you, my momma said But my skins never been so Unforgivingly red Ive been wasting my time My money, my mind Ive had dreams in progress And believing inside Taking steps back From the right track Thinking something will pull me out before I drown Some kingdom will be waiting with my crown Ill be ready for my turn Something will put me out, bfore I burn Peace lik a river Blood on my hands Me and this drummer And my second chance Nothing will save you said an old flame But every time Id correct it And forgot his name I may have read it in a book Saw it in a picture Damsels getting saved I may have read it in a book Saw it in a picture But it wasnt my adventure No, it wasnt my adventure Peace like a river Blood on the drum Wake me when this war is won No one will love you as much as I do My momma said and like always her words were good and true Peace like a river Blood on the drum Something will chase me If I choose to run Something will save me From life after love Something like time Something like Peace like a river Peace like a river Peace like a river And peace In my mind
