"The Peace Lady" lyrics

Growing up in Toronto
I'd ride with my parents wherever they'd go
She was always there above the DVP
Holding her peace sign for all to see

The peace lady
The peace lady

Up by the highway where you pay your toll
Or by the rainbow where Peter found his pot of gold
I'd tilt my head to look out the window
She was holding her peace sign for those down below
And I just caught a glimpse

Of the peace lady
The peace lady
The peace lady
The peace lady

Though I remember the cheer girl and the bike thief man
I'll vote for the peace lady whenever I can

So here's to you, Pauline, and Johnny Barnes too
It's a much better place thanks to people like you

She stood in the rain, the sun and the cold
She stood on the bridge until she got old
And though she's long gone, I still look to see
She left a lasting impression on me

She's the peace lady
The peace lady

Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady

A peace, a peace
A peace, a peace
A peace, a peace
A peace, a peace
A peace, a peace
