On a city street somewhere
Someone shoots a gun in the midnight air
And I don't know why

Somebody lives, somebody dies
Somebody wrongs and a mother cries
And I don't know why

Some things we'll never understand
Other things you change if you can

Peace, you'll find it where the heart is
And the heart is right where love lives
And love can always find a way

Hope is the something that reminds us
It's not too late to find us
One day we may be in peace

Haven't spoken in thirty years
After angry words and bitter tears
And I don't know why

Best of brothers and best of friends
One mistake and their story ends
And I don't know why

Some things we'll never understand
Other things you change if you can

Peace, you'll find it where the heart is
And the heart is right where love lives
And love can always find a way

Hope is the something that reminds us
It's not too late to find us
One day we may be in peace

It's all about forgiveness
With God as my witness
I wanna live to see peace

Peace, you'll find it where the heart is
And the heart is right where love lives
And love can always find a way

Hope is the something that reminds us
It's not too late to find us
One day we may be in peace
