Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What comes up so many, many times
Seems I hear it every day
You know it's always on my mind
As I struggle to find my way
But I can't remember
Half the pain
Things to set my mind at ease
[Verse 2]
'Cause I know
We're out here just searchin'
Struggling, strugglin'
As I am for peace
[Verse 3]
Echoes, echoes of another world
This world of ours
Always torn by wars
And it makes you sit down
And ask yourself
Just what am I living for?
[Verse 4]
And in the darkness
Or the dawn
I get down on my knees
Asking the heavens up above me
Where can a man find peace?
[Verse 5]
I want to know
Is it a dove flying somewhere over Asia
Or my brothers losing their lives in the streets
Or in the shelter of my woman's arms?
Want to know where
Where
Can a man find peace?
[Verse 6]
It seems that thunder rules my life
Every day
Every day
And every sleepless night
[Verse 7]
And I said, "Tell me
Can anybody tell me please
Which way
Is the road to peace? I want to know
Where can a man find peace?
Tell me where
Where can a man find peace?
Tell me, which way
Is the road to peace?
Tell me, tell"
