lyrics

deep peace of the silent stars to you
peace of the quiet earth to you
peace of the running waves to you
peace of the flowing rain to you
peace of the bodies birthed to you
peace of the guardian angels, you
peace of the blackened sun to you
peace of his broken song to you

deep peace of the blankets where you grew
peace of the nights recalled to you
peace of their lullabies to you
peace of your barefoot baby shoes
peace of the safest place to you
peace of the dreams all gone and you
peace and i know you'll see it too
peace of the garden grey to you

deep peace of the sight above to you
peace of the loss of love to you
pieces of holy words to you
pieces of scents and sin to you
peace of you carried crying through
all of your pasts buried to you
peace and i know you'll see it too
peace of her bright black eyes to you

deep peace of the gunshot god to you
peace of her serenade to you
peace of the poorest hands to you
pieces of windblown lands to you
pieces of brotherhood to you
peace of protection through and through
peace of the hate abandoned you
peace and i know you'll see it too
