lyrics

Peace Song

Peace river before the flood
the power in our blood
the moving vein of our desire
city of light
I swear— I swear I’ll give more this time

In green coats and blue jeans
seemed like plain folk, real friendly
til they drew lines between us and home
how do you prepare?
I swear— I swear I’ll give more this time

On the river with Marie and Ron
our relocation to Fort St. John
people talk here and will support a cause
but down south they don’t talk
where they make the calls
I swear— I swear I’ll give more this time

I have a friend on a hunger strike
he sits outside with his sign
I see him there in my mind
I swear— I swear I’ll give more this time

With my feet where cold water moves
I dream of treaties and well-lit rooms
the sun and moonlight the only kind here
What kind we need?
I swear— I swear I’ll give more this time

Like prophecy, like warning
the count in Cross Lake hit 140
down the road, that could be Moberly
for a city of light
I swear— I swear I’ll give more this time
