Lost, oh lost, where has peace gone astray?
Where does it hide, where does it lay?
Lost, oh lost, where has peace gone astray?
Where does it hide, where does it lay?
All search for peace, yet peace remains unseen,
Who stole it away, where does it convene?
Held in one hand, it slips through, unseen,
How to appease it, how to intervene?
Enemy Peace, Enemy Peace, a foe, a foe,
In which lane, on which road will it bestow?
In which hour, in which watch will it show?
Some lay out their lashes, some steal our sleep,
Some hold it to their chest, secrets they keep,
Some beg for it, some find it, some lose it, some reap,
Can someone tell us where to seek, where to leap?
Enemy Peace, Enemy Peace, a foe, a foe,
In which lane, on which road will it bestow?
In which hour, in which watch will it show?
Lost, oh lost, where has peace gone astray?
Where does it hide, where does it lay?
Lost, oh lost, where has peace gone astray?
Where does it hide, where does it lay?
Where does it lay?
Where does it lay?
