Peace River

I come from a place
Run by a man named Mr. Page
Took everything and he wanted more
Gun and a knife and he used them both
Smack ya in the head in public
He kicked ya down and he think nothing of it
Take your head down, swallow your pride
If you wanna live to see the night and

I guess I had my fill
I ran from the valley to the top of the hill
And even though I got away
I couldn’t shake Mr. Page and

I’ve fulfilled all my desires
I couldn’t put out the fire
Thing going in my head
That I need to put to rest

So I would take off, fly off
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Checked on day given me you callin’
I’m done fallin’

I could take off, fly off
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Swear the little kids beggin’ for more
Oh ho, darling

Pack my bags and run
To a place I promise I’ve never been
Call my phone but cowardly steps
It turned me to a cowardly man and

Y’all wouldn’t believe what I’ve seen
Mr. Page, he was broke at the knees
Somebody so brave and strong
Just turned weak and worn and

The fear, it disappeared
And the hate, it followed it
Could the place it occupied
Be replaced by love and light so I would

Take off, fly off
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Checked on day given me you callin’
I’m done fallin’

I could take off, fly off
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Swear the little kids beggin’ for more
Oh ho, darling
