Peace Song Lyrics

Now, everybody's looking for a little peace of mind We're a generation running out of time There's a bomb, there's a man, there's a gun in his hand, yeah Well, nobody smiles at strangers, we're scared from birth Afraid the man's gonna take us for all that we're worth Strip us of our pride - make a strike from inside (Come on and tell me) How long will we be victims of fear With a man and a gun and the "day after" fear Jesus, smile down upon your children Smile down upon your family Now, even lovers have trouble at hand [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/peace-song-lyrics-indigo-girls.html ] What's your preference - where do you stand? You get uptight about it, gonna fight about it Gonna fight about love - that makes no sense to me Wanting independence, separate but equal Some are here, and others there One more for the sequel to the heartache How much more can we take? (Won't you tell me) How long will we be victims of fear With a man and a gun and the "day after" fear Jesus, smile down upon your children Smile down upon your family
