I think this is a song...

[wildhorses]

I go to the mountains
and I swim in the river

I walk through the valley
and I smell all the flowers

The mist rises o'er me
and the rain falls down on me

I cry to the treetops
and I pray for the violence
to end

I look for the sunlight
and I drink in the moonshine

The stars glitter for me
and the birds fly above me

I look to the angels
and I talk with the strangers

Let there be peace all around me
and I pray for the violence
to end

I fall down on my knees
and I close my eyes

I bow my head
and I pray for the violence to end
