The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir - All Peace Lyrics

Roses grow in my backyard
I'm not quite sure why they do
Stand there so bold
Turning dirt into gold
I look at them and I think of you

Maybe your papa has green eyes
Beautiful as the two on you face
Maybe you mama was so wise
Still ain't enough to explain your grace

All eyes are not prepared for such beauty
All hearts are not prepared for such song
All love will not become what it could be
All peace is not this strong

They brought you home as a baby
Your brother named you and cried
Words so wild reserved for a child
I don't think no one could name you
Today if they tried

All eyes are not prepared for such beauty
All hearts are not prepared for such song
Passion and pain from which all lips refrain
Yours find refrain and you sing, yes you sing on

We've paved our way over seasons
Asphalt makes a permanent frost
But grass with intent grows up from the pavement
It cracks this concrete yes it does

My eyes are not prepared for such beauty
My heart was not prepared for such song
Passion and pain from which all lips refrain
Your speak a peace so strong
All eyes are not prepared for beauty
All hearts are not prepared for such song
All love will not become what it could be
All peace is not this strong
And sing on

All eyes all hearts all love all peace
All eyes all hearts all love all peace
All eyes all hearts all love all peace
All eyes all hearts all love all peace
All eyes all hearts all love all peace
All eyes all hearts all love all peace
All eyes all hearts all love all peace
All eyes all hearts all love all peace
