about

This is the original version of a song I wrote for Dedham High School's Class of 1985, to which I was their advisor. I wrote it as a "so long for now message," as I knew that many of these great students would remain in my life for a long time. On the surface it may seem like a song about Jesus, but that was not my intention. It is about taking cues from good people while weathering good and bad fortune.

lyrics

Go in Peace

Go in Peace
Remember what the good man said
Go in Peace
Remember when he held your hand
Go in Peace
And we’ll be together—always.

And when the road gets tough to travel and you’re looking for the sun
And you’re blinded by the things you’ve said and done
Take the hand of the one beside you before you start to run
And know as the road grows narrow
what’s done is done

Chorus

And when the river’s overflowing and the rain is pouring down
And you tremble ‘cause your world is upside down
Remember in the peace and silence you’ll find a lasting sound
That the beat of your heart is the rhythm as your world goes round.

Go in Peace
Remember what the good man said
Go in Peace
Remember when he held your hand
Go in Peace
And we’ll be together—always.

Go in Peace… Remember there’s a world around you
Go in Peace… Remember there’s a word within you
Go in Peace… Remember that the day and nights are always.

Go in Peace… Can you hear the singing in your ear
Go in Peace… and the music going round?
Go in Peace… And we know in peace what is love is always.
