Red lights in the midnight
Everybody stops
Crossing rivers made of order
Flowing through the heart of us
What is freedom really
Wings without a chain
Or the grace to love the limits
Given to our human frame
Time with you beside me
Turns the world to gold
For a moment all the violence
Loses every name it holds
Guarding peace and freedom
People pass their souls along
Raising shields to shelter love
Still praying through the weight of war
Guarding peace and freedom
Perfect emptiness is nowhere found
Still upon the paper of the heart
I want to leave a prayer that won’t fade out
Armies of the heroes
Brought the frozen wind
A woman in the ashes whispered
From the deepest edge within
“No life without faith”
City lights of comfort
Sometimes hide the loss of God
Still we should be grateful
For the peace that someone fought to guard
Guarding peace and freedom
History moves in endless rings
Between the cries that call God’s name
And silent prayers no one hears sing
Guarding peace and freedom
Answers hide between the lines
Still with trembling hands we write
The names of those we hold inside
Sharpen freedom endlessly
And peace begins to disappear
Drown too deeply into peace
And freedom falls asleep in fear
Guarding peace and freedom
Holding all our fragile scars
Trying to become stronger
Just to protect the ones we love
Guarding peace and freedom
Though the world remains undone
Where we laugh together softly
Lives the truest peace beneath the sun

Prayer for Peace and Freedom
kneeking Records
Kneeking Records presents "Prayer for Peace and Freedom," a superhuman reggae soul song exploring war, freedom, faith, and the small joys of human life.
From the everyday moment of stopping at a red signal to the endless cycles of conflict and prayer repeated throughout history, the song quietly reflects on the meaning of peace and freedom.
Blending majestic orchestral arrangements with the warm heartbeat of reggae, this is a philosophical song that could only come from Kneeking Records.
