EPIC
By Mychael John Thomas

I. PEACE LOVE WARRIOR

Peace and Love…Peace and Love…Warrior

If you wanna go to war
You gotta know who the enemy is
When it leads to death and destruction
And it’s over I can tell you this
The real battle is good versus evil
It’s a struggle till the end of time
The only victory you’ll ever have
Is to win the conflict in your mind

CHORUS
I am a peace love warrior
I don’t fight with bullets or bombs
I serve a GOD of forevermore
My heart is loyal to the Kingdom Come

If you want to know your own spirit
You gotta go to the bottom of the well
It’s up to you to shape who you are
You make your choices and time will tell
You can’t decide in the heat of the moment
Keep your passions under control
Look for your center in everything
Don’t let the anger steal your soul

CHORUS
I am a peace love warrior
I don’t fight with bullets or bombs
I serve the GOD of forevermore
My heart is loyal to the Kingdom Come

BRIDGE
Pray without ceasing…Relate without being
Escape without fleeing…Hide without concealing
See without judging…Walk without trudging
Submit without kneeling…Love with all feeling

SOLO

Break Down
Peace and Love…Peace and Love…Warrior

CHORUS
I am a peace love warrior
I don’t fight with bullets or bombs
I serve the GOD of forevermore
My heart is loyal to the Kingdom Come

CHORUS

(Peace and Love…Peace and Love…Warrior)

II. IN THE GRAND SCHEME

Not sure if you really believe in true love?
Never seen it the way it ought to be
You watch everybody else meet someone
But you’re still waiting to see
You don’t wanna be a naysayer
But you can’t say you’re a daily prayer
Heaven there to help you when you waver

CHORUS
Who are we in this great big universe?
Eternal questions overwhelming finite minds
Does someone really care every time we hurt?
We need an epiphany of the mind
To put us over the line (put us over the line)

So many hopes and dreams we are giving up
Exhausting our faith (Revive us again)
Still hoping that love will send you the one
Who will be your forever friend
You don’t wanna be a night player
Alone now but sooner or later
We all see the truth of the matter

CHORUS
Who are we in this great big universe?
Eternal questions overwhelming finite minds
Does someone really care every time we hurt?
We need an epiphany of the mind
To put us over the line (put us over the line)

III. DO WHAT YOU CAN

Do What You Can…Do What You Can...Do What You Can

Every day…Lonely faces on the street
Feel the need inside
Lead the way…To a place where we can meet
And be freed this time

CHORUS
You gotta feel that burn…Compassion in you heart
It ain’t something you can learn just pick a place and start
Another day will turn…You can play a part
And Heaven knows the difference you make
(Do What You Can…Do What You Can...Do What You Can) 2 times

Crazy times…Fear and anger everywhere
Hard to care at all
Still we find a total stranger just appears
Then we hear the call
CHORUS

BRIDGE
What’s it all about? Just why are we here
Would You still the doubt? Help me see it clear---ly

SOLO

CHORUS 1

CHORUS
You gotta change your mind about the way you love
And you got to take the time to really know someone
And when you read the signs…You will see it done
And Heaven knows the difference you make
(Do What You Can…Do What You Can...Do What You Can) 4 times

IV. TREATY

Where can we agree?…
Tell me what you need
What can I give to bring you around?

How do we begin?…
To find a way we both win
So we can finally lay our hatred down

CHORUS
Working on a treaty…Maybe you would meet me
Half Way…Could we let this conflict die?
I’m working on a treaty for a different way of being
Seeing eye to eye…We could fly

In the heat of the moment…
When hearts just won’t be open
Things will escalate and lives be lost

Try to put it in reverse…
Before it gets much worse
You know love will gladly pay the cost

CHORUS
I’m working on a treaty…Maybe you would meet me
Half Way…Could we let this conflict die?
I’m working on a treaty for a different way of being
Seeing eye to eye…We could fly (repeat CHORUS)

We can be peacemakers…We can be Sons…
We are the caretakers…Of the message of the One…

Working on a Treaty...I'm working on a Treaty
Working on a Treaty...Um Hmmm
