Peace Repackaged - Lionrock

The bottles are all empty, the potion?

s gone

Powers promised like the dawn, it just won’t carry on

I leave the empties on the doorstep, to be filled by time

Is he a wizard or a teacher?

Is she a friend of mine?

I left a note and signed with haste

Give me a packet of peace to taste

And if you’re willing, an extra crate

Of any power to combat hate

'Cause though I heard that hate brings pain

And I need love to take the strain

A parcel of extra blessing

To keep my days from guessing

Oh teach me

The words won’t turn the way I ask them

Oh reach me

Show faces true before I pass them

And all the world is out of key

And it shrinks inside me

So many faces to be friends

When all the madness ends

I’ll leave my mind beneath the mat

So you can let yourself in

If you can stand the mess then stay

But I’m not entertaining

I feel the richness of our days

Are like smoke to hold

I’d make a paper heart to love you

If I knew where to fold

But I must sit and just keep trying

Until I see the shape I seek

Because I must learn to sculpt the strength

For everyday that I’m weak

Oh teach me

The storms won’t turn the way we aim them

Oh reach me

The dreams grow wild before we tame them
