Peace
Peace

Tonka, I dreamed about you
Out in the cold and wearing no shoes.
You said you came to hug me
And tell me that you love me.
I still feel my arms around you.

Peace (peace, peace) is a miracle,
Peace (peace, peace) ‘cause the spirit lives on,
You can save a life instead of tearing one down,
There is no grief heaven can’t heal.

I see you bending your head
And dancing on those big long legs.
Only here for twenty three
And I wished for one thirteen,
But the lord wanted us to meet.

Peace (peace, peace) is a miracle,
Peace (peace, peace) ‘cause the spirit lives on,
You can save a life instead of tearing one down,
There is no grief heaven can’t heal.

I could have screamed and hollered,
But God has different plans for me.
I know I found my comfort,
You in my life was the best that could’ve ever happened to me.

Peace (peace, peace) is a miracle,
Peace (peace, peace) ‘cause the spirit lives on,
You can save a life instead of tearing one down,
There is no grief heaven can’t heal.
The peace that passes all understanding.
Peace.
