"Peace Like A River" lyrics

"Peace Like A River"

Ooh, peace like a river ran through the city
Long past the midnight curfew, we sat starry eyed, oh
Oh, and I remember misinformation followed us like a plague
Nobody knew from time to time if the plans were changed, oh
If the plans were changed

Yeah, you can beat us with wires
You can beat us with chains
Yeah, you can run after rules
But you know there ain't no use
Oh, peace like a river

Ooh, four in the morning I woke up from out of my dream
No, when I back to sleep, but I reconcile
I'm gonna be up for awhile
Yeah, I'm gonna be up for a while
Yeah, I'm gonna be up for a while, oh

Go on, yeah beat us with wires (hey yeah)
Go on, why don't you beat us with chains
You can run after rules
But you know there ain't no use
Oh yeah, peace like a river
Oh
(Oh, peace like a river)
