Lyrics
Painfully devoted their hearts are crying out Five times daily, face pressed to the floor
Desperately they're calling, faithfully they fast,
Scattering their alms among the poor
Branded with the name of peace, their world is split in two
Again they find themselves caught up in war
Fighting for a cause, a cause they've long forgot
While deep inside their hearts cry out for more
They cry peace, peace but there is no peace
They cry peace, peace but there is no peace
To Allah god they cry and they're left to wonder why
There's no peace for them on the inside, and no peace for them on the earth
She sweeps a veil across her face, sleeves beyond her wrist
Capturing her silent tears, and covering her chains
Fearing for her family, for her very life
Terror is the only story that remains
Her daddy said he loved her, controlled her with his fist
Bound to a calloused husband, he'll divorce her at a whim
She fears she'll be abandoned, left begging on the streets
But more she fears he'll take her babies far away with him
She cries peace, peace but there is no peace
She cries peace, peace but there is no peace
To Allah god she'll cry and she's left to wonder why
There's no peace for her on the inside, and no peace for her on the earth
Circling his holy shrine, he's dressed in purest white
He strives to find acceptance in a heart of blackest stone
No way to right the wrongs he's done, so vainly he'll just walk
Amidst the crowd he's calling out, while feeling so alone
Desperate for redemption now, for promise after life
For assurances of paradise, he straps death to his chest
Longing so to prove his worth, he'll go to any length
He'll show his god that he'll withstand this bloody, horrid test
He cries peace, peace but there is no peace
He cries peace, peace but there is no peace
To Allah god he'll cry and he's left to wonder why
There's no peace for him on the inside, and no peace for him on the earth
Because of tender mercy, a God of truest light
Has sent his son for all of them, to die to give them life
For each and every precious soul He suffered on a cross
To offer them redemption, free from bondage, chains and strife
He cries peace, peace Oh, child I'll give you my peace
He cries peace, peace I long to give you my peace
To Father God just cry, you'll no longer wonder why
I offer peace for you on the inside, a peace surpassing earth.
Oh yes peace, peace, My child I'll give you peace
Oh, peace, peace, I long to give my you peace
More than you can understand, Oh my dear, just take my hand
I give my peace to you on the inside, and now pour it out on earth.
I gave my peace to you on the inside, so now spread it through the earth.
