Peace Of Mind
Coming over mountains
the pale beside the wall between us now
since I refuse to play alone
it's always been another
to do the damage you live everyday
and leave you cursing for escape

Each day I see a ball and chain
grow a little more in grain
and watch your corner pain
say'in nothing
nothing's gonna change
why is the world so damn unkind
to one so righteous in her mind
the sun won't rise and shine
will you never find your peace of mind

My father couldn't bother
to play the kind of role the job required
instead of trying he retired
what so much here to conquer
to feel a long while so-called friends don't phone
you know the pain is not their own

Each day I see a ball and chain
grow a little more in grain
and watch your corner pain
say'in nothing
nothing's gonna change
why is the world so damn unkind
to one so righteous in her mind
the sun won't rise and shine
will you never find your peace of mind

Coming over mountains
to feel the tension hiding in these walls
you see a trace of spirit fall
my father couldn't bother
but now he's back to find his place again
sorry but the book's been burned

Each day I see a ball and chain
grow a little more in grain
and watch your corner pain
say'in nothing
nothing's gonna change
why is the world so damn unkind
to one so righteous in her mind
the sun won't rise and shine
will you never find your peace of mind

your peace of mind
your peace of mind
