I can sit around and point my finger all day.
All that happens is my finger gets tired.
I can scream at the people who are in charge,
I know that will just get me fired.
I could feel the hatred and violence all around me,
dragging me down deep in the hole.
It's easier to condemn everyone else's evil.
Than to face the violence in my own soul.
(Chorus)
Teach me peace, I want to learn.
Teach me peace, It's what I yearn.
Teach me peace, I never learned.
Teach me peace, It's all I yearn.
I used to think I was right to get in your face,
But I was too scared to look in the mirror.
All that rage pushed eveyone away,
'Til I was all alone to face my terror.
I always wanted to believe in peace & justice,
But I was way too violent to ever know.
Spewing anger from every fiber of my body,
Until I learned to let it all go.
(Chorus)
Teach me peace, I want to learn.
Teach me peace, It's what I yearn.
Teach me peace, I never learned.
Teach me peace, It's all I yearn.
Insert AWESOME GUITAR SOLO!
(Double Chorus…)
