Song language: English
Peace Lies Waiting |
| Murder cries the cathedral |
| A hungry hawk, a sword, a ploughshare |
| Set the stage in Canterbury |
| Seven years and then |
| Peace lies waiting-fugitive, cloistered and longing |
| Peace lies waiting-hovering above the spearpoints |
| Peace stands higher than my fragile sense of need |
| Peace I leave with you |
| Not as the world gives or has ever seen |
| Safe in the ruins |
| Killed but not wounded |
| Pierced with painful joy |
| When he smiles |
| Even the wind and the rain |
| Close their eyes |
| Hold their fire |
| I’ve never seen peace in a vacuum |
| But I’ve seen it in a bitter sea |
| Safe in the ruins |
| Killed but not wounded |
| I’m held tightly free |
