You told me
You would rather commit suicide
Than watch me live as I do
Why would you tell me this?
Would you tell me this if you really loved me?
Its not something you did in the past that hurts me
Its what you do now
Those unkind words you so carelessly
shout at me
With you drunken rage
Peace
Peace
Peace
Do you know peace?
Are you really at peace?
Loving you is a war
It is a dictatorial relationship
It oppresses my being
Please come watch the birds with me
Please come see the rain as it softly lands from the sky
And we will have peace
The foundation of all that is beautiful in life
And only then can our nation be at peace
The nation is me and you
How mother and daughter shall choose to live
Is how daughter and her children will live
It is the way of life we will live as a nation
The nation is me and you
