Peace Like a River

I knew a girl
her only lust
to find a man
she could trust

and when she got em
she thanked the lord
now she lies awake at night
scared to death she's gettin bored

if you look down the road
you'll see the sun
and it makes time
while you take time
just to end where you've begun

I've got peace like a river
peace like a river
I've got time
I don't need a thing
that ain't in my mind

I knew a man
his only wish
to answer to no one
and drink like a fish

he worked real hard
and he got it all
there was plenty to drink
and no one to call

if you look down the road
you'll see the sun
and it makes time
while you take time
just to end where you've begun

I've got peace like a river
peace like a river
I've got time
I don't need a thing
that ain't already mine

I knew a girl
her only sorrow
was all her life
she was waiting for tomorrow

I knew a man
that wanted life so bad
he blew his mind up in the sky
never came back to land

he's got peace like a river
peace like a river
he's got time
you don't need a thing
that ain't in yer mind

if you look down the road
you'll see the sun
and it makes time
while you take time
just to end where you've begun

I've got peace like a river
peace like a river
I've got time
I don't need a thing
that ain't in my mind
