Lyrics
"Peace That You Deserve"
A boy when you left for war, a man upon return
But you’re an angry man at best, and at worst a man disturbed
A wife and kids remain behind, they’re best for loving you
But there ain’t no one who understands what you’ve been through
Your friends can’t look you in the eye
They only look away
I hope you finally find the peace that you deserve
In a crowd you grab your kids, preparing for the worst
While your wife is busy packing ‘cuz of your angry outbursts
You push away those evil thoughts, your children on your mind
Wonderin’ what you’d have to do to finally serve your time
Your friends don’t have the words to say
They only walk away
