lyrics
Peace
I don't ask much of this world,
I just want to stay alive and get on with my thing,
I'll do anything for a quiet life,
You see If you're happy then I'm happy too.
I've got my wee routine and it floats along nice,
It doesn't require much just a bit of quiet,
To give my head peace to take in the stillness,
Of being with my Self.
Isn't that what we're all after?
...some Peace?
When you get those moments alone,
With just you and a presence,
When you feel that shiver,
It means you are connected.
Connected to the Voice,
Connected to the Sun,
Connected to the Spirit,
Connected to The One,
Sure, isn't that what we're all after?
...some Peace?
And at that moment there are no laws,
There's just you and that sacred moment.
When the world outside disappears,
And the quiet takes you home.
Sure, isn't that what we're all after?
...some Peace?
