The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper
He stares out the window,Blank as a canvasMade up in the sunlightAnd swirling smoke and ash.He waits for a breath.Now, taking his time,He sees an eternityIn 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 comesHe will need your open arms.For to be invincibleHe needs your love
He stands in the doorwayQuiet like yesterdayWith forgotten thoughts become a mysteryAnd nightmares locked away.He looks like a gunmanBut his view is much too wideFor 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 alongand shifts to serve his purposeTo 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 comesHe will need your open arms.For to be invincibleHe needs your love
