“Inside Job” Verse 1 Sun comes up on a restless town, Flags still folded, cannons quieted down, But silence don’t mean the war is done, There’s a deeper fight that’s just begun. Man looks out, blames the world outside, But the fire’s still burning on the inside, You can paint the walls, change the guard, But a broken heart still pulls the hard card. Pre-Chorus You can sign your name on a dotted line, Shake a hand, draw another line, But peace don’t come by a pen or a gun— It’s an inside job, done one by one. Chorus Peace ain’t managed, peace is made, In the quiet cost that love must pay, It don’t shout loud, it don’t shove or shove, It bleeds a little, it learns to love. Not power plays or ivory halls, It starts where the conscience hears the call— If it’s gonna last, if it’s gonna stay, Peace has to live in us first that way. Verse 2 A man at war with his own soul Spreads that fire like he’s lost control, But a heart that’s found its rest in God Turns battlegrounds into sacred ground. Peacemakers don’t win by force, They stand in the middle, hold the course, They don’t seize thrones or broker lies, They carry wounds with open eyes. Pre-Chorus They step into the broken space, Take the hit, absorb the weight, They don’t dominate, they don’t defend— They bend low so wounds can mend. Chorus Peace ain’t managed, peace is made, In the quiet cost that love must pay, It don’t shout loud, it don’t shove or shove, It bleeds a little, it learns to love. Not treaties signed or crowns that fall, It starts where mercy breaks the wall— If it’s gonna last, if it’s gonna stay, Peace has to live in us first that way. Bridge There’s a Child who carried it on His name, Prince of Peace in a restless age, A river running, calm and wide, Turning swords to tools, fear to life. Hearts healed first, then hands reach out, Neighbors find a different route, Nations change when the order’s right— From the inside out, into the light. Final Chorus Peace ain’t headlines, peace is slow, Roots in the dirt where faith can grow, It won’t make noise, but it won’t fade, It outlives kings, outlasts the rage. So start with me, start with you, Let heaven settle what we do— If it’s gonna last between us all, Peace has to live in us… that’s the call. Outro Yeah, peace don’t come by winning a fight, It comes when the heart finally makes it right.
