[Verse 1] I need space to dream Need space to feel Need to take a little time to focus on what’s real Every day the little fires rouse up like flame Every time it singes my skin it hurts but I don’t blame [Pre-Chorus] They don’t see the bruise behind my quiet face I keep the door half-open I keep my falling grace [Chorus] I just want peace and time to call my own I just want peace I’m tired to the bone Let me breathe tonight Let my heart come home I just want peace and time to call my own [Verse 2] They’ll grow up someday, I believe they’ll grow kind someday They’ll learn somehow to understand to see through compassionate eyes They’ll learn to have a kinder heart a soul that knows forgiveness They’ll lose the raging anger that once consumed their days [Pre-Chorus] This isn’t my life now but I give when duty calls I hold the weight for everyone and never let it show at all [Chorus] I just want peace and time to call my own I just want peace I’m tired to the bone Let me breathe tonight Let my heart come home I just want peace and time to call my own [Bridge] Let me pull through this time and then I will be free I look towards the future when they can be rid of me But I don’t hate their thunder I know their storms can change I only pray they soften and learn a kinder way [Final Chorus] I just want peace and time to call my own I just want peace I’m tired to the bone Let me breathe tonight Let my heart come home I just want peace and time to call my own
