Peace Like a River Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, peace like a river ran through the city
Long past the midnight curfew we sat starry-eyed
Oh, we were satisfied

[Verse 2]

[Verse 3]

Nowhere to go but back to sleep but I’m reconciled
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
