歌詞

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
