Peace Is Not For This World

(album: All The Worlds We Built - 2023)

I have seen my fair share
Of all the things unfair
I've experienced the world
As a place that's often cold
I have given love my all
Bruised and battered I fell short
I have whispered ancient prayers
When the pain I could not bear

This world is not for peace
And peace is not for
This world

I have played a game with chance
And I stacked up my own hand
But she cheated and she won
She took all I had built on
When the aching lasts too long
A Job like prayer that I was wrong
Give me nothing more than want
For the stillness in a song

This world is not for peace
And peace is not for
This broken world

Oh oh
Oh oh
