Lyrics

THE PEACE THAT COMES (Music & Lyric by Louis Rosen)

Father died on Friday night
Monday he was buried
Tales were told and
Blessings made
Over his grave
Daniel hoped the words would ease the
Sorrow he carried
A lucky man
So thankful for the
Love Father gave him

There are prayers we say
There are songs we sing
We fill the void
Tumble on
Wandering blind
What we long to feel
Only time may bring
It’s the peace that comes with
Healing right behind

Mother hardly sleeps at night
Thoughts keep on turning
She told her son,
“We mourn as one,
But we all grieve alone”
A story told
Or a coffee cup
Bring out such yearning
A neighbor calls
A friend comes by
But she’s on her own now

There are prayers we say
There are songs we sing
We fill the void
Tumble on
Wandering blind
What we long to feel
Only time may bring
It’s the peace that comes with
Healing right behind

Mother and Daniel seem to
See life so differently
Yet a poet’s words
Keep sounding in Daniel’s ear,
Saying, “Birth is hard
And dying’s mean
So love in the between time"
Don’t turn away from what you hold dear
Soon enough we all disappear…

Prayers we say
Songs we sing
Sing
Wandering blind
What we long to feel
Only time may bring
It’s the peace that comes
With healing right behind
What we long to feel
Only time may bring
It’s the peace that comes with healing
The peace that comes with
Healing right behind
