lyrics

The clash of metal, the grinding of gears
The bitter weight of the flying years
The angry sentinels at the gate
The armies of war and the legions of hate

Fevers rising and tempers lost
The bottom line no matter the cost
Ashes and smoke in a clear blue sky
Bombs and tanks and children die

And beneath it all, the peace that passeth understanding
Can you hear the call, the peace that passeth understanding

Time to move, no time to waste
Trouble’s a-coming, better make haste
Over the hill and under the gun
Get a move on and get it done

Another judgment and another test
Who is worst and who is best
Which one’s right and which one’s wrong
If you’re weak watch out for the strong

And beneath it all, the peace that passeth understanding
Can you hear the call, the peace that passeth understanding
Right next door, the peace that passeth understanding
You’ve known it before, the peace that passeth understanding

So many thoughts, so little time
So many voices in my mind
So many plans and decisions to make
So many choices and roads to take

Here’s a feeling and here’s a thought
Here’s a problem and my mind is caught
A wild hope and another worry
Gotta run ‘cause I’m in a hurry

And beneath it all, the peace that passeth understanding
Can you hear the call, the peace that passeth understanding
Right next door, the peace that passeth understanding
You’ve known it before, the peace that passeth understanding
