a prayer for the conflicted..


Dona eis requiem (give them peace)


Yes we, we who cloud your mind with hate
Give us peace
Yes we, we who break your heart, its fate
Give us peace
Yes we the voices in your mind
We the darkness you can't find
We the ones who lie and wait for you to drop your guard
Give us peace

Yes we, we the ones who turn your mind to life
Give us peace
Yes we, we who keep you while you suffer strife
Give us peace
Yes we the angels next to you
Yes we the hope that gets you through
We the love that beats inside your chest and keeps you sane
Give us peace

Give me peace

Joe this is a beautiful song/prayer/poem. I love the peacefulness of the flow and the positive energy that comes through each repetition of "give us peace." If only we had audio on here, I would love to hear you sing and play the music. This goes in my favs. : ) kathy
