i wanted to close my eyes

and try to pretend that I didn't see what was happening

to what I thought was my safety



so is it peace

that we're all looking for

will we find it



what I saw on the news today

left images I can't escape

what I saw was a world that's lost its reason to live



i'm haunted by what I've seen

reminded of what it means

to take each moment like it's my last



so is it peace

that we're all looking for

will we find it



what I saw on the news today

left images I can't escape

what I saw was a world that's lost its reason to live



and you're still here

here to calm the storms

you won't let these dreams die out
