A Sweet Peace by Nigel Barto

In a world of haters
Make-believers
Wannabe us

Stands you

on the corner
of a lullaby
and a happy ending

Smile so soft
Eyes full of truth

In a place of hard
and easy
My soul shifts
just a little

Closer to a sweet peace

Your Snow White beckons
Let me be your kissing Prince
I don't mind a dwarf named Doc
for a chance others dream

I dare to do
Be next to you

In a time of constant chase
Your heart in hand
determines the pace

If to change my world
or set it free
Pick me, pick me
Sweet peace

Pick me
