Fear And Love lyrics

In the smallest of hours a thought pulled me outOf perfect, numbing, ordinary dreamsIt pulled me from the deepRestless, a pressure and tension had grownA question of purpose shook my heart of stone: What if after all of this, my life should come up short in the final scales? Should I wait for time to tell? For the longing and sorrow I know to be true –What have I offered but the portion of fools? Detached; indifferent; and safe behind this jaded heart of mine. Dear Lord, what happened to the time? (Chorus) Fear and love at war again(Today.) After all, it comes back down to thisFor peaceAnd peace of mindFor mothers and fathers and all they hold dearFor children covered up under constant fearShall I fold hope from corner to corner and lay it in their hands? And say, “Be at peace and on your way”? I can feel it beating under waves of willA hot pulse somehow burning stillI know Love casts out fearBut all this time I've pushed it far awayAnd it's too much to take(
Chorus) For peace and peace of mind at lastFear and love at war againAfter all it comes back down to thisAgain, again(Today.) Fear and love at war againAfter all it comes back down to thisFor peace. For peace. For peace. For peace.
