Peace

(From Time)

This one's for the news and those who speak the news
And want to seem the righteous thing,
Acting so squeaky clean
When on the public screen

This one's for the band that plays and stands alone
And just runs through the same old song
No one sings along
They'll tell you something's wrong

Don't take away my sunshine
There's not enough for me
Don't take away my sunshine
Where is the light?
Show me the light
It seems so far away from me

This one's for the little girl who does what Mama says,
And yet she cries instead
No one turns a head
She might as well be dead

This one's for the grown-up boy who drinks to try
To take his mind off yesterday
It just won't go away

Don't take away my sunshine
There's plenty of fish in the sea
Don't take away my sunshine
Where is the light?
Show me the light
It seems so far away from me

This one's for the children and all the lonely people
Who are sad like me
We don't mean to be

This one's for the restless and the broken-hearted
Waiting for the moment when
They can love again
Until the very end

Don't take away my sunshine
There's only so much for me
Don't take away my sunshine
Where is the light?
Show me the light

Don't take away my sunshine
Victory's all I can see
Don't take away my sunshine
Where is the light?
Show me the light
It seems so far away from me
