Peace In The Valley

Looking out my window
Peace in the valley just don’t come
Though I know that man’s my brother
And that I’m the selfish one
The hour is getting later
It’s time we had begun
Knowing something’s one thing
But the race must still be run
Take care of little jealousies
And talk that kills for fun
And hold your heart in readiness
It’s so easy to come undone
But I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skin
Looking out my window
Peace in the valley just don’t come
Though I know that she’s my sister
And that I’m the selfish one
And I look at all the people
And I love the ones I can
And I wonder if the dream will be
Or be turned into sand
Still I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skin
Peace in the valley just don’t come
