PEACE - The Wheel Lyrics

When the rain stopped from falling
It was almost too late
We heard voices there calling
Turned back from the gate
On the streets there was brawling
No time to relate
The hills in the distance were burning

We followed the broken road
Up to the edge
Where eagles and buzzards
Soared by overhead
The remains of this world
Lay there, stones for a bed
The wheel of the universe turning

From the clouds our loving
No words needed said
As we watched o'er the battles
While the innocent bled
And cried holy are they
No songs for the dead
The sound of the living returning

So good night, baby
Good night, precious one
Good night, baby
Good night, morning sun
Good night, baby
My precious one

Oh glory, Oh glory
We called out on high
For rhyme to the story
And some reason why
No mere allegory
The heart did reply
Dear brother, what good are you earning?

So fly back to your families
Wherever they be
Their houses are burning
Clear into the sea
And good children everywhere
Are calling to thee
The heart of the warrior learning

I will love you tomorrow
Even more than today
And would wish all your troubles
Of this world away
And the joys of your precious heart
Forever stay
The stars for your pillow
A moment to pray
And say

Good night, baby
Good night, precious one
Good night, baby
Good night, morning sun
Good night, baby
My precious one
