River of Peace Lyrics & Tabs by Bob Carlisle
River of Peace
guitar chords lyrics
Verse 1:
She was a gorgeous little girl,
Only ten years old
With her mother's smile
And her father's eyes
And she was taken way too soon,
A life so full of promise,
Full of hope,
But never realized
And I raise my fist in anger
And wonder why you take
The tender hearts and
Leave the rest of us behind.
Chorus:
Ours is not to question why,
Leave the rest of us behind.
Chorus:
Ours is not to question why,
Ours is just to live and try,
To settle for the answer
Whatever it might be
Until we see you face to face
In another time and place
Where the river of your peace
Runs free.
Verse 2:
Now thirty years have come
And gone
Since his country shipped him home
With a silver star and
A broken heart.
More than his innocence was lost
To a complicated war.
His baby brother didn't make it
Back at all.
And each nicht in silent anger,
He tries to understand the sacrifice
And each night he falls apart.
You said we're all your precious children,
But I must admit,
Sometimes we feel so small.
We wonder if you're there,
Or if you really care at all.
Chorus:...
Until we see you face to face
In another time and place
Where the river of your peace runs free,
Where the river of your peace runs free,
Where the river of your peace runs free.
