	Story Behind the Song Deep Peace came out of a long process of musical exploration and meditation, and then it almost wrote itself. We live near Washington, D.C. where talk of war and a state of siege seems to reign late in this year 2002. Someone had sent me the ancient invocation of Deep Peace, and I found it three years later in a pile of papers. We began to work on it as a song, and in a week, we were in the studio beginning to record. It came smoothly, with only one or two takes for each of the eight tracks we used. It was as if the song was asking to be sung, was asking to be heard, was asking to be shared. Deep Peace to you! Lyrics Spoken: Deep Peace I breathe unto you O, weariness, here O, aching, here Sung: Deep Peace, Deep Peace Deep Peace, Deep Peace A soft white dove to you A quiet rain to you An ebbing wave to you Of the quiet earth to you Om Shanti, Om Shanti, Om Shanti, Om Shanti Red wind of the east from you Grey wind of the west to you Dark wind of the north from you Blue wind of the south to you Salaam Aleikhum, Salaam Aleikhum Salaam Aleikhum, Salaam Aleikhum Pure red of the flame to you Pure white of the grass to you Pure brown of the earth to you Pure grey of the dew to you Paz a Nosotros, Paz a Nosotros Paz a Nosotros, Paz a Nosotros Pure blue of the sky to you Of the running wave to you Of the flowing air to you Of the sleeping stones to you Shir Ha Shalom, Shir Ha Shalom Shir Ha Shalom, Shir Ha Shalom From the Heart of Peace to you From the Mother of Fire to you From the Flock of Stars to you From Who You Are to You Deep Peace, Deep Peace Deep Peace, Deep Peace Deep Peace, Deep Peace
