Peace - Ben Rector

Used to want people to love me so I learned how to sing

Then I thought I wanted money so I could buy nice things

But when I found it was as empty as could be

And now I’m staring at my face above a bathroom sink

Saying I want peace, it’s where I am now

It’s the only thing I haven’t found somehow

But there are other places, there are a million pretty faces

But I want peace, it’s where I am now

Used to worry about the future but the future never came

Try living in the past but never did quite feel the same

I used to think that there was a place I would rather be

That I got there enough times to realize that you are only ever here

That’s when I found peace with where I am now

It’s the only place I’ll ever be, I’ve found

And there are other places filled with a million pretty faces

But I found peace with where I am now

Through the ups and down I have figured out

You find peace where you make it, scenery won’t change it

And I wasted so much time, thinking I could ever find

Enough of anything that would bring me peace

So I found peace with who I am now

It’s the only me I’ll ever be, I’ve found

There are other places, there are a million other faces

But I found peace with who I am now
