Serenity
Geri Karlstrom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's time to face my feelings
It's time to face my fears
To walk on through the fire
And take the time for tears
I know that peace will be there
Right on the other side
And pain will wash from my heart
With the tears I cry

I need to start believing
To feel the strength of trust
Open my soul completely
To give my will I must
To hear from my Creator
And let unfold each day
Deal with the past behind me
And move a different way

So I give my heart to you
Open up my hand to you
Help me find what peace can be
Living in serenity

It's time to face my feelings
It's time to face my fears
To make amends to others
Make up for my lost years
I know that peace will be there
Right on the other side
Serenity will take me
Across the great divide

So I give my heart to you
Open up my hand to you
Help me find what peace can be
Living in serenity
So I give my heart to you
Everything I say and do




Help me find what peace can be
Living in serenity

As I sit here and slowly close my eyes
I take another deep breath
And feel the wind pass through my body
I'm the one in your soul
Reflecting inner light
Protect the ones who hold you
Cradling your inner child

I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Tragic visions slowly stole my life
Tore away everything
Cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you
No matter wrong or right
And every day I hold you
I hold you with my inner child

I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

I need serenity

I never get sick of listening to Godsmack. Sully Erna has to be one of the top male vocalist of all time.
