GOOD PEACE

Thomas J. Dooley

Good peace its what we all dream

Never to be out of reach

Should never be too far to see

 

Why you need all the attention

When a family lives in desperation

Fame alone will never pay the bills

 

Good peace it should be the reality

Never to be a footnote in history

A man should never have to take a knee  

 

Why we treated different ways

When I stood in line right behind you

I am no better I have nothing to prove  

 

Good peace it should be more than a feeling

Never to be an idea of an educated mind

When we hear our leaders lie another child dies  

 

Why you need to be rich

When the poor only dreams of it

Living a lie when you have to pay someone to be by your side  

 

Good peace is more than thoughts and prayers

Should be service without a care

The proof shouldn't be recorded on your phone  

 

Why not live in purity 

You'll have so much dignity

*Loving your self till everyone else does too  

 

Good peace should be more than a thought

Good peace should come from the heart

Good peace should start from right where you are
