I'm a cool 3 lbs of cold blue steel I shoot even deader than the way I feel made to fit right in your hand why i'll never understand
I coulda been a hammer or a railroad spike I coulda been a train rollin through the night but they gave my voice such a terrible sound that I wish they'd left me in the ground
I'm a peacemaker don't know how I got my name I'm a peacemaker if I don't deserve the credit why do I deserve the blame
When the lion lays down with the lamb then you won't find me in nobody's hand till that time I will remain till the sinners lay down with the saints
I'm a peacemaker don't know how I got my name I'm a peacemaker if I don't deserve the credit why do I deserve the blame
I'm a peacemaker don't know how I got my name I'm a peacemaker if I don't deserve the credit why do I deserve the blame
There are walls made of paper, and walls made of stone and some that are made out of livin' alone I built a wall no one could break down locked up my heart where it couldn't be found
You saw past my shackles and let love unfold showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told my heart was a prisoner like no heart at all till your love reached higher than the wall
Higher than the wall a thousand feet tall high above the darkness where the blue shadows fall your love reached higher, where it's better and brighter yeah, your love reached higher than the wall
Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains empty reminders don't cause me no pain it's all gone away like the leaves in the fall 'Cause your love reached higher than the wall
Higher than the wall a thousand feet tall high above the darkness where the blue shadows fall your love reached higher, where it's better and brighter Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall
