 songs & lyrics Peacemakers (Unreleased)  Final version of lyrics: Saturday, February 11th, 2006 Peacemakers (Unreleased)
I can hear the pinprick, I can hear the razor blade I can hear the sound of a life laid down like a prayer I can feel the rumble of war pressing up against all of our hearts And I share the fear that somehow all of this will be taken away Blessed be the journalists who pen the truth no matter what the cost Blessed are the ones who stand up to those who take a stick to the flock Blessed be the firemen that put out the flames that around us roar And blessed be the peacemakers in a time of endless war I can hear your blood pound I can feel the rhythm of your breath I can see from your bright eyes and smile That you've chosen to turn away from death I can feel the promise of love in life's darkness breaking all the way free And I can only shake my head that I found you and then you found me Blessed be those who see beyond the world pulled over our eyes Blessed are the ones who try to tell their story to mocking eyes Blessed is every one of us who still remembers what life is for And blessed be the peacemakers in a time of endless war. 11 February 2006, Harlem, New York City. First performed on August 31st, 2008 at the Block Party in Lowertown, St. Paul, during the R.N.C. Convention.
