Peace is My Priority

Family ties pulling, voices getting loud Trying to drag me into the same old crowd I feel the tension, I see the divide But I’m choosing stillness — I’m choosing my side Sisters, we know how hard it can be To keep your calm when they won’t let you breathe Peace is my priority, sisters, hear me say (hear me say!) I can love you fierce and still walk away (walk away!) The world keeps spinning, the noise won’t quit But peace is my priority — and I’m claiming it Up on Capitol Hill, they keep missing the call Hearts stay hardened, they let the people fall I won’t let their silence steal my song I’ll sing my truth — but I won’t sing it wrong Peace is my priority, sisters, hear me say (hear me say!) I can love you fierce and still walk away (walk away!) The world keeps spinning, the noise won’t quit But peace is my priority — and I’m claiming it We can be peaceful and still raise our voice Loud and clear, so they have no choice We the people are calling, we won’t be ignored Our peace is power — our message restored We stand firm, we speak strong, we don’t back down But we keep our hearts calm while we shake the ground Peace is my priority… (priority!) I can love you fierce and still walk away… (walk away!) Peace is my priority… (my peace, my peace…) We the people are speaking — hear what we say!
