Faithfully devoted my heart is crying out
Five times daily – face pressed to the floor
Desperately I’m calling and faithfully I fast
Scattering my alms among the poor
Branded with the name of peace – my world is split in two gain I find myself caught up in war
nd fighting for a cause - a cause I’ve long forget
While deep inside my heart cries out for more I cry peace peace but there is no peace
I cry peace peace but there is no peace
To llah god I cry and I’m left to wonder why
There is not pace for me on the inside
nd no peace for me on the earth I sweep my veil across my face sleeves
Beyond my wrists Capturing my silent tears, and covering my chains
Fearing for my family, for my very life
Fear is the only story-that remains
My daddy said that he loved me controlled me with his first
Bound to a calloused husband,
He’ll divorce me at whim
I fear I’ll be abandoned left begging on the streets
But more I fear he’ll take my babies fare away with him
I cry peace peace but there is no peace
I cry peace peace but there is no peace
To llah god I cry and I’m left to wonder why
There is not pace for me on the inside
nd no peace for me on the earth
Because of tender mercies,
God of truth and light
Has sent his son for all of us to die to give us life
For each and every precious soul
He suffered on a cross
To offer us redemption free from bondage, chains and strife There is peace for me on the inside
nd there is peace for me on the earth
