Looking for Peace

Verse 1

Today I was asked, “are you happy?”

I paused, let the silence speak for me

Smiled just enough to keep them guessing

But inside, I knew what truth would be

Pre-Chorus

Happiness comes and goes like the weather

A fleeting flame, it burns, then it’s gone

But peace—peace is a river forever

Flowing steady, carrying me along

Chorus

I’m not looking to be happy

I’m looking to be in peace

Not chasing after lightning

I want the quiet release

Let the world keep spinning crazy

I’ll take the stillness I need

I’m not looking to be happy

I’m looking to be in peace

Verse 2

I’ve danced with the highs and the heartache

I’ve tasted the sweet and the wild

But joy that depends on the moment

Can fade just as fast as a smile

Pre-Chorus

So I’m learning to rest in the silence

Where storms can’t shatter my ground

It’s not in the noise or the diamonds

But in the calm I’ve finally found

Chorus

I’m not looking to be happy

I’m looking to be in peace

Not chasing after lightning

I want the quiet release

Let the world keep spinning crazy

I’ll take the stillness I need

I’m not looking to be happy

I’m looking to be in peace

Bridge

If laughter comes, I’ll let it stay

If sorrow comes, I’ll walk that way

But underneath, I’ll always keep

A deeper well, a steady beat

Final Chorus (softer, then stronger)

I’m not looking to be happy

I’m looking to be in peace

Not chasing after lightning

I want the quiet release

Let the world keep spinning crazy

I’ll take the stillness I need

I’m not looking to be happy

I’m looking to be in peace
