Peace Song Lyrics - Indigo Girls

Now, everybody's looking for a little peace of mind 

We're a generation running out of time 

There's a bomb, there's a man, there's a gun in his hand, yeah 

Well, nobody smiles at strangers, we're scared from birth 

Afraid the man's gonna take us for all that we're worth 

Strip us of our pride - make a strike from inside 

(Come on and tell me) 

How long will we be victims of fear 

With a man and a gun and the "day after" fear 

Jesus, smile down upon your children 

Smile down upon your family 

Now, even lovers have trouble at hand 

What's your preference - where do you stand? 

You get uptight about it, gonna fight about it 

Gonna fight about love - that makes no sense to me 

Wanting independence, separate but equal 

Some are here, and others there 

One more for the sequel to the heartache 

How much more can we take? 

(Won't you tell me) 

How long will we be victims of fear 

With a man and a gun and the "day after" fear 

Jesus, smile down upon your children 

Smile down upon your family
