The Return of Peace
©Kelli Cates

When I’m around you
I feel that calm again
It’s like a memory of being complete
I’ve had since God knows when

When I’m in your presence
It’s like a blissful memory
Unfolds and I can finally see
All that was is meant to be

The shadows of my life
Have conqueared far too long
But you whined your light
And now the shadows are gone

You created a whole new me
Just by restoring memories
And by once holding me close
When I once needed you the most

Now I feel a sense of peace
And all misunderstandings cease
I’ve found those arms again
And I found a whole new friend

I can’t believe it’s happening
The dreams that I once had
Those fears that once conquered me
Have no power to make me sad

I’ve learned the things I needed
To learn since I was young
And it’s for you and only for you
That I ever write this song
 
The shadows of my life
Have conquered far too long
But you shined your light
And now the shadows are gone

You created a whole new me
Just by restoring memories
And by once holding me close
When I once needed you the most
Now I feel a sense of peace
And all misunderstandings cease
I’ve found those arms again
And I found a whole new friend
 
I hope you understand these words
That I’m finding hard to say
You’re the reason that I’m here today
And I thank you in every way
 
You created a whole new me
Just by restoring memories
And by once holding me close
When I once needed you the most
Now I feel a sense of peace
And all misunderstandings cease
I’ve found those arms again
And I found a whole new friend
