Peace Like a River

Peace like a river ran through the city Long past the midnight curfew We sat starry-eyed We were satisfied And I remember Misinformation followed us like a plague Nobody knew from time to time If the plans where changed If the plans were changed You can beat us with wires You can beat us with chains You can run out your rules But you know you can't outrun the history train I've seen a glorious day Four in the morning I woke up from out of my dreams Nowhere to go but back to sleep But I'm reconciled Oh, oh, oh, I'm gonna be up for a while Oh, oh, oh I'm gonna be up for a while --- Peace Like a River - Paul Simon
