I want peace

I Want Peace

[Verse 1]
I’ve walked through some long and lonely roads,
Carried more than anybody knows.
I’ve watched the rain fall on an empty street,
Searching for a place where my heart can breathe.

I don’t need a mansion, I don’t need gold,
Just a little sunshine when the nights get cold.
Give me a quiet porch and an open sky,
A little bit of love as the days roll by.

[Chorus]
I want peace, I want peace,
Let the troubled days finally release.
I want a heart that can rest at night,
A little love and a whole lot of light.
I don’t want war, I don’t want pain,
I just want sunshine after the rain.
If there’s one thing this heart needs,
Lord, all I want is peace.

[Verse 2]
I’ve learned that life can change so fast,
And some memories never seem to pass.
But I’m letting go of the things I can’t control,
Making room for healing in my soul.

Let the birds sing out across the trees,
Let the old wind carry my worries away.
I’ll sit beside the one I love,
Thanking God for another day.

[Chorus]
I want peace, I want peace,
Let the troubled days finally release.
I want a heart that can rest at night,
A little love and a whole lot of light.
I don’t want war, I don’t want pain,
I just want sunshine after the rain.
If there’s one thing this heart needs,
Lord, all I want is peace.

[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow we’ll understand,
Why we had to walk through the desert sand.
But tonight I’ll lay my worries down,
And listen to the quiet of this little town.

[Final Chorus]
I want peace, I want peace,
Let love be the song that sets us free.
No more running, no more fear,
Just hold me close and keep me here.
Let the morning bring a brand-new day,
Let every broken heart find its way.
If there’s one prayer I’ll always keep,
I want peace…
I just want peace.

[Outro]
Underneath these country stars,
I’ll leave my worries where they are.
With a grateful heart and a soul at ease,
All I ever wanted…
Was a little peace.
