The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper

He stares out the window, blank as a canvas

Made up in the sunlight and swirling smoke and ash

He waits for a breath

Now, taking his time, he sees an eternity

In blink of an eye

And for him this life is made of time and choices

An endless blend of vistas painted bright with memories

The here and now will bow to him

To only serve one purpose

To keep your peace

He takes on the world all in a stride

And your wounds will be his scars

So won’t you remember when the night comes

He will need your open arms

For to be invincible, he needs your love

He stands in the doorway, quiet like yesterday

With forgotten throughs become a mystery

And nightmares locked away

He looks like a gunman, but his view is much too wide

For such a solution, so he fights

Without a six gun on his side

And all the while his stars and moon shine brightly

Outside the desert wails a curse of rage and jealousy

And yet tomorrow comes along

And shifts to serve his purpose

To keep your peace

He takes on the world all in a stride

And your wounds will be his scars

So won’t you remember when the night comes

He will need your open arms

For to be invincible, he needs your love

He takes on the world all in a stride

And your wounds will be his scars

So won’t you remember when the night comes

He will need your open arms

For to be invincible, he needs your love

He takes on the world all in a stride

And your wounds will be his scars

So won’t you remember when the night comes

He will need your open arms

For to be invincible, he needs your love

For to be invincible, he needs your love
