No Peace I've Found...

All I want is a little peace
But there's no peace for me--
You'd think the battle I call my life
Would drive me to my knees.
But Lord I am so tired
And 'tho my will is strong
Sometimes I feel too tired--
Too tired to go on.

Peace is just an illusion--
A forgotten about dream
'Cause there's not a day that passes
I don't feel the need to scream.
I just want some quiet--
More than an hour or two
But there's no peace in sight
And I'm too tired to feel blue.

So I just sit here waiting
As each day comes and goes
Yes somedays pass quite quickly
But Lord, somedays pass so slow.
I know the battle will end someday
I guess I'll have to wait
And hope the love that's in my heart
Won't someday turn to hate.

Dear Lord if you are listening
Please give me the strength to go on
And with your love and mercy
Please help me to be strong.
For with only you can peace be found
Though now it's lost to me
But with your love comes mercy
And someday I'll be free.
