Peace Of Mind

Weak he opens up his eyes
Waking to his mother's cries
Table was empty today
No more games or kids who play

Feeling like he has to run
Scared to death he lost his gun
Waiting for a sign of hope
Sins the Lord...

Why can't he leave it all behind
Maybe release what's left inside
Given the chance to change his way
He can look forward to better days

Silver plate is way to gold
Quickly ending, won't give up
Till he sees the life ahead
Choking on the things he said
Arms stretched out he reaches for...

Peace of mind, is all I want from you
To get through, to look forward to
Peace of mind, is all I want from you
To get through

Why can't he leave it all behind
Maybe release was left inside

Why can't he leave it all behind
Maybe release what's left inside
Given the chance to change his way
He can look forward to better days

Oh!!!
