Peace Sign - Jonathan Young

Oh, woah, ohh

Oh, woah, ohh

Oh, woah, ohh ohh

Well, it’s strange my head is rememberin'

How the airplane flying overhead

Looks so effortless, but I cannot guess

Why it lingers in my mind

Evening after this, I’m a crying mess

And to be stronger now, my only wish

So I can finally have the bravery

So I can reach on up to the sky

This cruel fate engraving

It’s carved into the stone

Hoping it reveals itself all to me and then I will

Know just where to go

This moment, this moment

I know that I can breathe

Hanging on a feeling… believe in

My only meaning!

I hear a voice a-calling, telling me to risk it

Asking if I have been going the distance

Singing with a passion that I cannot deny!

My eyes are swollen from the tears that I’ve been crying

But to the rest of the world, ever smiling

Singing for the courage that I’m dying to show!

With my peace sign up when I say goodbye

Write a story of a hero!

I didn’t want to say I protected you

And you were never weak, I’m number two

You were stronger than I have ever been

And you mean more to me than you know

I have changed myself since the day I yelled

About how you go on by yourself

So if you have to laugh, I should tell you that

I’m afraid that I’m all alone

I’m kicking, I’m biting

Impossible to breathe

Going down below the depths of my troubled head

And I can feel my stomach heave

I see it, I need it

It calms the blood that beats

If only I could touch it, enough that

It’s mine for keeping

I hear a voice a-calling, telling me to risk it

Asking if I have been going the distance

Singing with a passion that I cannot deny!

My eyes are swollen from the tears that I’ve been crying

But to the rest of the world, ever smiling

Singing for the courage that I’m dying to show!

With my peace sign up when I say goodbye

Write a story of a hero!

Those days gettin' rowdy, gettin' bloody, I was

All scraped, gettin' worn and gettin' dirty, now I

Hear you talkin' and it all is coming back

I see it in my mind — my memories revived

I could apologize for sleeping in a chrysalis and

With every passing night, I wish that I was leaving it and

I swear that I’ll be back again!

Oh, woah, ohh

Oh, woah, ohh

Oh, woah, ohh ohh

Oh, woah, ohh

Oh, woah, ohh

Oh, woah, ohh

I hear a voice a-calling, telling me to risk it

Asking if I have been going the distance

Singing with a passion that I cannot deny!

My eyes are swollen from the tears that I’ve been crying

But to the rest of the world, ever smiling

Singing for the courage that I’m dying to show!

With my peace sign up when I say goodbye

Write a story of a hero!

With my peace sign up when I say goodbye

Write a story of a hero!
