Wild Peace
There’s so much violence out on the street
And the toughest gang is in uniform
Terrorist conspiracies hurt half as bad
As the ones from our own government
“Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”
But the real beast is human
Don’t lose your trust
In the two of us
My dear, follow me
Beneath my paisley sheets
And even if our laughter ringing off these walls
Were the only sign of peace in this warring world
It would still be… It’d still be wild peace
Wild Peace
Friendly logos rob us blind
Yet the common crook is made the enemy
Rather than worry about nuclear war
Some would have us worry about nuclear family
The ozone layer’s falling out of the sky
I guess Chicken Little spoke a prophecy
Don’t run and hide
Let love decide
My dear, follow me
Beneath my paisley sheets
And even if our laughter ringing off these walls
Were the only sign of peace in this warring world
It would still be… It’d still be wild peace
They can monopolize the oxygen and sell it back to us
They did it with land and water
Every nation can spit out walls and wars if they must
Whatever danger tomorrow holds, we’ve got something stronger
My dear, follow me
Beneath my paisley sheets
And even if our laughter ringing off these walls
Our moments shared, however small
Our whispered fears and dreams recalled
Our pleasures echoed down the hall
The light of your smile most of all
Were the only signs of peace in this warring world
It’d still be… It’d still be wild peace
Wild peace
None of the war, corruption and ugliness of the world seem overwhelming when you’re falling in love. All you see is peace.
That peace is real. It’s raw and wild. Practicing it together, we bring that much more of it into the world. Make love not war... one moment at a time.
