    Lyrics:
    Four in the morning
    I woke up from out of my dreams
    Nowhere to go but back to sleep
    But I’m reconciled
    Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
    Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
    Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while

    That opening guitar riff just invites you in. Once you've arrived, you will never forget your first visit. I heard this some 50 years ago and I still remember it.

    Peace Like A River
    Peace like a river ran thnough the city
    Long past the midnight curfew
    We sat starry-eyed
    We were satisfied
    And I remember
    Misinformation followed us like a plague
    Nobody knew from time to time
    If the plans were changed
    If the plans were changed.
    You can beat us with wires
    You can beat us with chains
    You can run out your rules
    But you know you cans outrun the history train
    I've seen a glorious day.
    Four in the morning
    I woke up from out of my dreams
    Nowhere to go but back to sleep
    But I'm reconciled
    Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while

      @@TonyWud I've known that album my entire life so yes, I do. There aren't many musicians who stay current and keep interesting their audiences the way Paul Simon + all those he brings to the forefront have. Every decade since the early 60's Paul has brought us something that becomes etched into the fabric of our conscienceless and the best thing I can say about the man is when I saw his 'Farewell Tour' at the Hollywood Bowl, of all the hits he played, I was most moved by the newest work. Who else can we think of that has managed that?

    Growing up in the late sixties with all the anti war yuppies, we really felt as if we could change the world. How we all became the thing we hated is the greatest regret many of us feel…and the guilt of the mess we are leaving behind is what keeps us up later at night.
    This song gave me a pathway to salvation; to find a peace like a river.
