[Intro: Sheryl Crow]
Mmm
[Verse 1: Sheryl Crow]
Walkin' down the street of dreams
Eatin' from the fruits of life
Trippin' out on the smallest things
Tryin' to reach the light, tryin' to reach the light
[Verse 2: Sheryl Crow]
Pick the key up off the floor

Look at all you've got, look at all you've got
[Pre-Chorus 1: Sheryl Crow]
All the sinners and saints
All you creatures of faith
Don't need to be afraid
If you know what I mean
Let me hear you say
[Chorus: Sheryl Crow]
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Yeah

When you wake from your sleep

If you know what I mean
Let me hear you say

Peace be upon us
