Lyrics Gil Scott–Heron – Peace

What comes up
So many many times
Seems I hear it
Every day

But I can’t remember
Half the pain
Things
To set my mind at ease
‘Cause I know
We’re out here
Just searching
Struggling, struggling
As I am for peace

Echoes, echoes
Of another world
This world of ours
Always torn by wars
And it makes you
Sit down ask yourself
Just what am I
Living for

And in the darkness
Of the dawn
I get down on
My knees
Asking the heavens

I want to know
Is it a dark for lying somewhere operation
Or my brothers
Losing their lives in the streets
Or in the shelter
Of my woman’s arms
Want to know where
Where can a man find peace

It seems that thunder
Rules my life
Every day, every day
And every sleepless night
And I say tell me
Can anybody tell me please
Which way
Is the road to peace

I want to know
Where can a man find peace
Tell me where, where
Where can a man find peace
Tell me which way which way
Is the road to peace
…
