Peace On The Morning (Live)

from (Live) From The Deep by Ezra Vancil & The Congregation

/

lyrics

I’ve been hungry
for forgiveness, I think
So I bought me a cross
counted the world lost
and poured me a drink

And I’ve been lonely sometimes
I had to get somebody fast
cause I knew any day I’d go down
to the ocean and drown in my lonely past

But the peace comes on the morning
when I really don’t know what to do
So I lay down beside me, all that might guide me
and that’s when I follow you

I was ruined sometimes I think
by religion
cause I hid in that church,
and I didn’t want to search for my own decisions

and I’ve been fighting for way too long
with my country
but I worry about my son
that they’ll give him a gun
say hey boy, why don’t you go fight
for this, them or for me

But the peace comes on the morning
when I don’t think I know what is true
I lay down beside me, all that might guide me
and that’s when I follow you

I’ve been running
from illusions
that they broadcast all day
try to scare me away from my own conclusions

and I get so tired, I must admit
of this forgiveness
but you could steal it all today
and I’ll still give it all away
that’s my decision

and the peace comes on the morning
when I got nothing left to prove (really don’t know what to do)
I lay down beside me, all that might guide me
and that’s when I follow you
