I went down to the city
Where the children are so pretty
I went down to the sea
She gave it all up for me
She gave it all up for me
Take me away from the mountains
It's too high for me to climb
Free me from the struggle
Let me sing and let me rhyme
Take me in your sacred arms
Let me fall asleep
Humming all my songs
For you and me
I went down to the sea
She gave it all up for me
Let me come to the river
It's so good to be there
There's so much I could give her
There will be peace in the air
There will be peace everywhere
There will be peace
