The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper lyrics

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 a 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 a 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 thoughts 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 a 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
