ALL PEACE
Roses grow in my backyardI'm not quite sure why they do
Stand there so boldTurning dirt into goldI look at them and I think of you
Maybe your mama has green eyesBeautiful as the two on you face
Maybe you pappa was so wiseStill ain't enough to explain your graceChorus:
All eyes are not prepared for such beauty
All hearts are not prepared for such song
All love will not become what it could beAll peace is not this strong
They brought you home as a babyYour brother named you and cried
Words so wild reserved for a childI don't think no one could name you
Today if they triedChorus:All eyes are not prepared for such beauty
All hearts are not prepared for such song
Passion and pain from which all lips refrain
Yours find refrain and you sing, yes you sing onWe've paved our way over seasons
Asphalt makes a permanent frostBut grass with intent grows up from the pavement
It cracks this concrete yes it doesChorus:
All eyes are not prepared for such beauty
All hearts are not prepared for ¬such song
Passion and pain from which all lips refrainYour's speak a peace so strong
All eyes are not prepared for beautyAll hearts are not prepared for such song
All love will not become what it could beAll peace is not this strongAnd sing on
