You were raised in a small town You killed time on the square Held on to your vision Giving more love than I can bare I need you to know right now You give me Peace like a river Daniel is a sailor He gave you truth so divine He said "I'm givin you my angel, son" And I took you for my wife Oh, I think you should know right now You give me Peace like a river Running free Peace like a river I'm here on my knees Oh, and I feel your sweet release What you are and what you do to me Lord You fill my heart and lay my soul to sleep You give me peace like a river You took the summer to Missoula With your sister by your side Never knew a day without her Till I came and walked into your life Oh, I think you should know by now You give me Peace like a river Running free You give me Peace like a river I'm here on my knees Oh, I feel a sweet release What you are and what you do to me Lord You fill my heart and lay my soul to sleep You give me peace like a river You give me peace like a river You give me peace like a river
