歌词
Peace like a river, blood on a drum
Slap me 'til my cheeks go numb
Nothing is easy, my father said
But my skin's 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 mama said
But my skin's never been so unforgivingly red
I've been wasting my time
My money, my mind
On pipe dreams and progress
And believing in signs
Been taking steps back
From the right track
Thinking something'll pull me out before I drown
Some kingdom'll be waiting with my crown
I'll be ready for my turn
Something'll put me out before I burn
Peace like a river, blood on my hands
From beating this drummer in my second chance
"Nothing'll save you," said an old flame
To them a time I corrected and forgot his name
I may have read it in a book
Or saw it in a picture
Of Damsel and her Savior
I may have read it in a book
Or saw it in a picture
But it wasn't my adventure
No, it wasn't my adventure
Peace like a river, blood on a drum
Wake me when this war is won
"No one will love you as much as I do,"
My mama said, and like always
Her words were good and true
Peace like a river, blood on a drum
Something'll chase me if I choose to run
Something'll 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
