i wanted to close my eyes
and try to pretend that I didn't
see what was happening
to what I thought was my safety

so is it peace
that we're all looking for
will we find it

what I saw on the news today
left images I can't escape
what I saw was a world that's
lost its reason to live

i'm haunted by what I've seen
reminded of what it means
to take each moment like it's my last

so is it peace
that we're all looking for
will we find it

what I saw on the news today
left images I can't escape
what I saw was a world that's
lost its reason to live

and you're still here
here to calm the storms
you won't let these dreams die out
