Ah, peace like a river ran through the city
Long past the midnight curfew
We sat starry-eyed
Ooh, oh,we were satisfied
O-o-oh, And I remember
Misinformation followed us like a plague
Nobody knew from time to time
If the plans were changed
Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed.
You can beat us with wires
You can beat us with chains
You can run out your rules
But you know you can't outrun the history train
I seen a glorious day, aiee------
Ah, four in the morning
I woke up from out of my dreams
Nowhere to go but back to sleep
But I'm reconciled
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while

Review about Peace Like a River The Sixties | Reviewer: jon clark | 2/2/2008
I believe this song is speaking to the generation of the sixties.
"You can run out your rules/but you can't outrun the history train."
A lot of society was changing quite rapidly when this song was written. This interpretation sounds plausible to me. What do you guys think?
and i thought peace like a river was religous???
hee hee hee.
