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
