Simon Joyner - Only Love Can Bring You Peace Lyrics

Some say it's the light that did remain when darkness came
And the winter grew but that's not true
Everywhere I look it is the same
Everywhere I look it is pain

Some say it's the chance to start again after the rain
The blue sky returned but the seagulls learned
While every nest they knew had fallen prey
Everywhere they flew they were turned away

The floor beneath the sinners turns to flame while the son of God hangs
The purest pass, they just turn into gas
And rise into the skies to retire
Like ashes in search of a a fire

Some say let's get out of here for good and they sink where they stood
And they don't move and they don't love
And they don't celebrate and they don't grieve
And they don't give and they don't need

Some say the worst has come and gone and nothing's wrong
They pull their shades to watch parades
Where the veterans are wheeled behind inflatable mice
Looking like heathens stricken by lightning twice

Some say only love can bring you peace when you feel like this
When you don't know what to do and I believe it's true
The vagabond holds his hand out from his knees
And the only word he can afford to say is "please"
