LYRICS (by Elliot Martin):

BE AT PEACE
Be at peace and perceive deeper love
Speak only truth and youll hear
Let no war come before or between to take life away
Why do we have to lose ourselves so foolishly / no, we never find out why
So let out works carry over through this time all we hope for
Be at peace til we rise again

Be at peace / keep your mind clear
Release what you rely or defend
You will fear no one who steps on your island
Who would smile and steal your property in silence
Violence has a dreadful purpose
Hand that work this cause more curses
See down further paths we pave / do they splinter, break-up or do they remain?
So can the people conspire to dream beyond the day-to-day
We think we see the four walls we design to shutter the soul
We take these licks in life, belief in right we live with our pain
Some fight this, making crisis in our way

Some desperate to die I cannot know their pain
But the ones who make light of their days will lose their way

So be at peace and we make them furious
Dont you litter the path to seek glory
If you fall youll have found your end story
So we pick emotion can you hear me calling
So put your mind where theres room to grow
Dont put your mind on the needs of just today / an eventuality
Youll become a slave to speed and personality
Dont put your life in the hands of those
Who terrorize by taking life away from the
Song that we sing everyday
From the sun that we greet everyday
