Peace
Album - 1999 - Debaser id 40629

Monday finds you like a bomb
It's been left ticking there too long
You're bleeding
Some days there's nothing left to learn
From the point of no return
You're leaving

Hey hey I saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay

There's a millions mouths to feed
But I've got everything I need
I'm breathing
And there hurting thing inside
But I've got everything to hide
I'm grieving

Hey hey I saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay

Doo doo doo doo doo the good thing

Hey hey I saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay
Everybody's happy now

I'm just a girl with my head screwed on
I'm just a girl with a smoking gun
I got my fingers stung
My fingers stung yea
I'm just a girl with my fingers stung

Bless these bones
Bless this skin
All of me and the mess I'm in
Yea the mess I'm in
But I don't care
Don't know where I've been
But I'll get me there

I'm alive
Yea and it's alright
I'm alive
Yea and it's alright

Power to the meek
Power to speak
I got the power within me
Yea yea
Power to the shine
In my worn out shoes yea
Power to me
Power to you

Yea bless this head
Bless his hair
Bless me to the dirt
In my fingernails yea
Bless this day
Bless this night
Give me something good
Make me feel alright

I'm alive
Yea and it's alright
I'm alive
Yea and it's alright

Something that I said
Made you wear a frown
The way you hang your head
Has made the tears come down

But don't you wear a sigh
My beautiful child

You know it doesn't burn
When you touch the sun
So don't be concerned
My golden one
You're gonna reach the sky
Fly...
Beautiful child

There is no other place
The human race
Is running out of space
There is no better love
And human love
Is what it takes

And I'll be at your side
When you're falling down
You'll be feeling fine
When you hit the ground
So don't slip away
Stay...
Beautiful child

Why do you hurt yourself?
You do it very well
You do it so politely
That you couldn't even tell
When everything has changed
You think you're not to blame
How come you keep on talking
When the whole thing feels so strange?...

But seeing is not the same as believing
When everything goes wrong
You're anything but strong

It's all bittersweet
Outside in the street
The grass is growing greener
Underneath your feet
We come and go
The deep water flows
Tiny leaves from small seeds
To tall trees do grow

But wanting is not the same as needing
There's no need to pretend
You can't turn back again
And loving is so different to keeping
The hurting that we send
Is so difficult to mend

[Hold on to the good things]
[That keep you from falling down]

[Hold on the the good things]
[That keep you from falling down]

How my heart aches
More than I can take
What are we really learning
When we make the same mistakes?
Where is your hope?
It's all gone up in smoke
You used to be so funny
Now it's just the same old joke

And laughing is so very close to crying
When there's nothing to defend
It gets you in the end
And living is so very close to dying
You struggle on and on
To find where you belong
Where do you belong?

The truth of life is the greatest gift
But I don't think I can make it fit
And who would guess it would come to this
When I've tried everything

And I should know but I can't explain
The endless noise sounding in my brain
Who would've thought that you could feel such pain
When you've tried everything

Yea.. you're a loser now
Yea.. you're a loser now

I should be cool
But I'm burning hot
I should be good
But I fell apart
Don't look at me now don't even start
Cause I've tried everything

Yea.. You're a loser now
Yea.. You're a loser now

Forever
Now that you’re gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever

When we were young
With time to waste
Everything was clear and good
Thought we could live
For a thousand years
But yesterday is done
And tomorrow’s yet to come
You’ll never know

Forever
Now that you’re gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever

And I remember when we were fools
Everything was me and you
Thought we were kings
With time to kill
But yesterday is done
And tomorrow’s yet to come
You live and learn

Some people never take the time to try
The way you live’s the way you die
The stuff of life’s in short supply
And if it sometimes hits you strong
Remembering that things go wrong
The song of life is just a song
And everything goes on and on

Forever
Now that you’re gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever

Don't be afraid when you
Walk through the dark
Just when you feel that
Your day fell apart
Stay strong
Keep holding on
Clear skies ahead and the dark day is done
Keep on lifted
Keep on lifted

I wish you everything
That you could want
Just when the day finds you
Turned back to front
Stay clear
Rescue is near
When you feel
That you're drowned in despair
Keep on lifted
keep on lifted

You're a bird in the sky now baby
Earthbound
Feet on the ground
Now you can find peace at last
Now you can find peace at last
