Lyrics
I paint a picture, all serene, of family, thoughts and friends
But just as soon it can turn to tragedy, torn and frayed
All our hopes and dreams could be crushed in the blink of an eye
If we could just step back, take a breath, and look at what we find
And it seems that Peace is just a thought from long ago
Is it just a faded memory?
Release the anger and the hate that's in the mind
And replace it with understanding
All our past digressions died with one in agony
Yet still we watch the world degrade ans slowly slip away
The die are cast, a stone is thrown, it's time to pick the straw
We gamble with our very future on the fate of the draw
Because it seems that Peace is just a thought from long ago
A memory, cold and faded
Could it be the ending of a thought that's in the mind
A reflection of the memory
Because it seems that Peace is just a thought from long ago
Is it just a faded memory?
Release the anger and the hate we feel inside
And replace it with understanding
And it seems that Peace is just a thought from long ago
A memory, cold and faded
Could it be the ending of a thought that's in the mind
A reflection of the memory
