Lights for Peace — Live

Grit Cathedral · feat. Kati Cher
They told her to get a real job. She told them she's the queen of the underground. Every night she takes the stage in a smoke-filled room and sings for peace — not because it pays the bills, but because she believes a song can still move the world an inch toward better. This is for everyone who was told their work doesn't count. Press play, then add your light to the map.
Well I lost my job at the corner store
But that was years ago
And the bills keep comin' like a flood
I got a little boy
He says
Mama Why you cryin'?
I said
Son
I just wish I could give you more
Well
I tried to be a better woman
I tried to make 'em understand
They said
“Girl
Go and get yourself a real job"
I said
"I'm the queen of the underground"
And they said
"What you doin' now?"
I said
"I'm just workin' my way up to God"
So God bless the free world
And God bless you and me
Well
I don't know what you're doin'
But I know what I'm doin'
I pray
I pray for peace
I pray for peace
I pray for peace
Well
I'm sittin' at the bar
My last dollar in the jar
'Cause I spent all the rest on gas and tolls
I got a little girl
She says
“Mommy
Why you gone?"
I said
"Honey
I'm just workin' my way back home"
Well
I tried to be a better woman
I tried to make 'em understand
They said
“Girl
Go and get yourself a real job"
I said
"I'm the queen of the underground"
And they said
"What you doin' now?"
I said
"I'm just workin' my way up to God"
So God bless the free world
And God bless you and me
Well
I don't know what you're doin'
But I know what I'm doin'
I pray
I pray for peace
