Let There Be Peace
Edo and Jo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

O, there will be peace in the valley for me, one day
There will be peace in the valley for me, I pray
No sadness, no sorrow, no more trouble there will be
There will be peace in the valley for me
You know the bear will be gentle you know wolves gonna be so tamed
Mighty lion, if you will right now, will lie down with the lamb,
Oh yes I know the horse from the wild
Will be led by a little child and I'll be changed from this creature

There will be peace in the valley for me, one day

No sadness, no, sorrow, no more trouble there will be
There will be peace in the valley, I pray
