[chorus / hook – x2]
Yeah, all i need is peace
To keep my heart from breakin'
All we need is peace
To stop the world from shakin'
[verse 1]
Yeah, i’m climbing mountains (mountains)
Just to find a little peace — my peace of mind (yh)
I feel so stressed out, like my brain’s on repeat
Programmed like a robot — work, then sleep
Sometimes i dream 'bout the life that i crave (why?)
Me on the mic, every crowd in a wave (okay)
Writing my truth on a whole blank page (yh)
At times, i feel like a scientist, studying human beings (ain’t you one though?)
We’re told not to lie, that it’s sinful and wrong
If so...
Then why does everyone do it?
It baffles me — i don’t get it
I guess you can say it’s a blessin' or a curse
And i had a dream — birds flew through heaven
Checked my clock, it was 10:11
Air turned cold, and i started to fade
Looked up and smiled, and i felt no afraid
'cause i could stay right here for eternity
Lost in this dream world'
[chorus / hook – x2]
Yh, all i need is peace
To keep my heart from breakin'
All we need is peace
To stop the world from shakin'
Verse 2:
Sometimes i gotta face the fact that everything is meant to be
The dream, the joy, the pain, the hate — all part of the recipe (yh)
(why are you still speaking? they already know that (oh)
Now shut your mouth before i shut it for you (haha)
The mind can be so manipulatin'
You can say it's articulatin'
Like i’m goin' to the crowd to prepare for a speech
I'm not here to preach
But tryin' to reach the top of the mountain'
I could go to the fountain', make a wish
And i pray to the stars to make a better world
"but hope doesn’t grow unless we plant the seed"
Tryna water my thoughts and let the fear leave
Some days i’m stuck in the past, tryna breathe
But i still believe in dreams i haven’t seen
I close my eyes and find my peace — at least for now
