Come In Peace
P.O.W. Camp 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
