Peace In This House

Lyrics

[Intro] My little Grace, my little Elijah, my Zack I don't know about you, but I want peace Mm, what a concept Sweet peace, mm [Verse 1] Hey, kids, turn off the TV No, I don't wanna watch the evening news So come on over here and sit down next to me And let your mama look at you and you and you And your beautiful faces That I wanna keep safe as long as I can And I'm telling you right now [Chorus] There's gonna be peace in this house There's gonna be peace in this house Gonna be some tender talkin' and some sweet little nothings That add up to the somethings we can live without There's gonna be peace in this house Some belief in this house And every good thing that ever happens Happens from the inside out, I'm telling you now There's gonna be peace in this house [Verse 2] Did I tell you today that I love you? You're the reasons for everything I do And sometimes I think the only hope for this world Is the love in you, and you and you So let's try to be patient and let's all play nice 'Cause everybody's gonna get, get a little slice of this pie [Chorus] There's gonna be peace in this house There's gonna be peace in this house Gonna be some tender talkin' and some sweet little nothings That add up to the somethings we can live without There's gonna be peace in this house Some belief in this house And every good thing that ever happens Starts from the inside out, I'm telling you now, mm There's gonna be peace in this house [Post-Chorus] Are you listening? Sweet peace, mm And every good thing that ever happens Starts from the inside out, I'm telling you now There's gonna be peace in this house [Outro] Amen Oh, thank you The older I get, the sappier I get, you know, ha Thank you And as we come to a close, I, um, I thank you for being here for me I, uh, no matter what's going on in my life, I, I know that I have people that um, are there for me And um, you're like my guardian angels I wake up in a different parking lot every day It's very glamorous And I travel, I have been since I was eighteen years old, looking for a place to belong And I found my way, by the grace of God And um, as long as I have my faith and my family and my guitar, I can show up anywhere And I can, um, if I'm open, if I'm, if I show up and I'm open Instead of um, playing, trying so hard and as Don Potter, you said earlier, let God play me You know I've had those shows where I try to do all that I can to be cool, to be shining bright I just wanna be loved and I wanna be myself and you've allowed me to do that And I'll always be grateful that I didn't have to get a real job, you know I love you, you're um, you're very loved Even on your best and worst day And you um, you kept me from giving up I've come so close so many times, but I uh, I remain Steve Mackey back there on bass, I love you And Harry Sharpe on keyboards over here, I love you
