peace where the heart is

Jim Brickman

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.
