Your song


The Peace We Searched To Find
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strength In the ones who never shout, Who lead you through the darkness When you can't quite find your way out. A gentle hand, an artist's soul, A calm that felt like home, Someone who made you feel like You were never quite alone. [Chorus] Oh, you were the peace we searched to find, The steady heart, the open kind. You held us close through every part, Always able to count on them Truly until death us do part. [Verse 2] Oh Steve, you were the renaissance man, With music in your veins, We'd chase the roar of rock and roll, Lit up beneath those flames. "I'd rather be fishing," you would grin, With that soft and easy laugh, You made your Paula feel so loved, Your soulmate walking half. [Chorus] Oh, you were the peace we searched to find, The steady heart, the open kind. You held us close through every part, Always able to count on them Truly until death us do part. [Bridge] Through the storm that took your steady hands, You never lost your light, You helped us navigate the world, And made the wrong feel right. [Verse 3] You searched to know that you were enough, And oh, my love, you were, You made us see it in ourselves, That gift, that gentle stir. Now, Steve, you rest in quiet grace, Your legacy stays true, And every song we ever loved Still sings me back to you. [Chorus] Oh, you were the peace we searched to find, The steady heart, the open kind. You held us close through every part, Always able to count on them Truly until death us do part. [Outro] Rest easy now, my soulmate, friend, You made me feel I mattered. Oh Steve, your love will never end.
“A quiet kind of strength, you were the peace we searched to find.”
