On a city street somewhere
Someone shoots a gun
In the midnight air
And I don't know why
Somebody lives, somebody dies;
Somebody wrongs and a mother cries
And I don't know why

Some things we'll never understand;
Other things you change if you can

Chorus:
Peace, you'll find it where the heart is
And the heart is right where love lives
And love can always find a way
Hope is something that reminds us
It's not too late to find us
One day we may be in peace

Haven't spoken in thirty years
After angry words and bitter tears
And I don't know why
Best of brothers and best of friends;
One mistake and their story ends
And I don't know why
Some things we'll never understand;
Other things you change if you can

Chorus

It's all about forgiveness;
With God as my witness
I wanna live to see peace

Chorus
