lyrics

You Cannot Fight For Peace

It seems I’m better off distracted
When the world gets too conflicted
When the words and all the actions
Don’t seem to coincide - you see

Nothing’s more contractual
Then the micro of the macro
The world is a reflection of intention
The world is who we are inside

W hen money equals power
When power is control
Control is taken with such force
it’ll put a bullet through your soul

Then we call our children bullies
and we give them no excuse
Your preemptive strike is called strategy
but at home it’s called
at home it’s called abuse

CHORUS
You cannot fight for peace
You cannot scream for silence
You cannot justify your anger
by claiming to be right
And you may hit your mark
By destroying the whole target
But if you’re trying to fight fire with fire
You’ll have to watch the whole thing burn

There is what works and there is what doesn’t
the definition of insane
is repeatedly using blunt force
and giving it a different name

Your planet, your people, your children
You can’t see the forest for the trees
those little actions you take trying to manipulate
are killing all of these

I don’t care where you have come from
or where your allegiance lies
can’t you see this world is round
and a circle has
a circle has no sides
CHORUS
You cannot fight for peace
You cannot scream for silence
You cannot justify your anger
by claiming to be right
And you may hit your mark
By destroying the whole target
But if you’re trying to fight fire with fire
You’ll have to watch the whole thing burn

BRIDGE
It doesn’t have to be this way
You and I both know there’s got to be a better way
and I know your resistance to pain
causes fear
It’s not about the promise of heaven or hell
it’s all about what’s happening right now
You have a choice
this is the point
to turn this all around
You cannot fight
You cannot fight
You cannot fight
For peace

CHORUS
You cannot fight for peace
You cannot scream for silence
You cannot justify your anger
by claiming to be right
And you may hit your mark
By destroying the whole target
But if you’re trying to fight fire with fire
You’ll have to watch the whole thing burn

You could describe her as the love child of Adele, Carole King, and Joss Stone. You could describe her music as folk soul, acoustic rock, and piano pop with glimpses of jazz, blues, and roots music. But you cannot confine her to a genre. You will laugh, you will cry, you will feel. Come join the adventure to feel better!! It is the evolution of the soul – one song at a time. ... more
