The Isaacs are a country and bluegrass gospel music group consisting of mother Lily Isaacs, and daughters Becky and Sonya Isaacs and son Ben Isaacs, along with John Bowman (husband of Becky Isaacs) as an instrumentalist and songwriter. Joe Isaacs, formerly a singer and banjo player in the group, has left since his 1998 divorce from Lily Isaacs. He now does solo work on a far more localized level.
Thomas Wywrot was a member from 2008 to 2011. Sonya Isaacs' husband, Jimmy Yeary, took his place.
I heard about these kids walkin' on a train track
Forty tons of steel bearin' down on them
And they just turned their backs
Channel 5 asked the one who survived
"Son, why'd you do such a thing?"
No reply but his eyes cried
(chorus)
Peace, I just need some peace
If I have to, I'll do anything
Don't need your love or your sympathy
But I cannot got on living without peace
I know a man who sits and stares at kitchen cabinet door
He hides a whiskey bottle he hasn't touched since
Well, this is day four
He told his wife, this time he would try
She was just about to leave
No reply but her eyes cried
(chorus)
I have a friend who's looking for God
A few good self-help books is as far as she's gotten
Say a prayer tonight for that desperate child
Say a prayer tonight for that man and his wife
Say a prayer for the hurtin' searchin' for the one thing we all need
If you don't know what to say
Look up to Heaven's face
And pray peace
