From the recording With a little help from my friends
As part of her house concert series, Ann wrote a song for Ola. Ola was at a point in her life where she realized she could choose peace instead of getting caught up in the chaos around her.
Lyrics
All these years of fighting and putting each other down
I'm done with criticizing. I'm hearing a happy sound
I choose peace instead of this
I choose peace
All these years of trying so hard to find myself
I wondered what was wrong with me.
It seemed so easy for everyone else, but
I choose peace in spite of this
I choose peace
And I dream of a house on the water facing West
Enjoying all the beautiful sunsets
All these years of searching for someone to hug and kiss
But I'm starting to realize that I'm the love I've missed and
I choose peace knowing this
I choose peace
