Generous Peace Lyrics
Verse1
I see him making those faces; trying his best to break my nerve
But I’m calm in the face of anger and I don’t reply to ugly words
If they ask me why I’m silent; they say in this world you gotta take respect
I say gentleman I’m like incense the more you burn the more I’m fragrant
Chorus
We can fight but we don’t need to fight tonight
Yeah, we’ll put out the fire
If I’m gonna fight then I fight for what’s right
Let’s go a little higher
Cause I was born you see
And I was raised to be
I lace the lines of these times with Generous Peace
Verse 2
There’s a thin line between virtue and fear though they look alike
Both demand restraint and it’s enough that I know where I stand in line
I’m not scared of you I’m scared of me and I live by controlling my fool
Cause you’re a fool enough for the both of us but I still try to find the good in you
Chorus
We can fight but we don’t need to fight tonight
Yeah, we’ll put out the fire
If I’m gonna fight then I fight for what’s right
Let’s go a little higher
Cause I was born you see
And I was raised to be
I lace the lines of these times with Generous Peace
Bridge
I know it’s hard to listen to the words you just can’t stand
Gonna take more than a fist to enlighten an ignorant man
Don’t you see how we fear the patient eyes of a lion
Don’t you see how we fear those lions in their silence
We can fight but we don’t need to fight tonight
Yeah, we’ll put out the fire
If I’m gonna fight then I fight for what’s right
Let’s go a little higher
We can fight but we don’t need to fight tonight
Yeah, we’ll put out the fire
If I’m gonna fight then I’m gonna fight for what’s right
We can fight but we don’t need to fight tonight
Yeah, we’ll put out the fire
If I’m gonna fight then I fight for what’s right
Let’s go a little higher
Cause I was born you see
And I was raised to be
I lace the lines of these times with Generous
We can fight but we don’t need to fight tonight
Yeah, we’ll put out the fire
If I’m gonna fight then I fight for what’s right
Let’s go a little higher
We can fight but we don’t need to fight tonight
Yeah, we’ll put out the fire
If I’m gonna fight then I’m gonna fight for what’s right
