    What about Joe Smooth's "Promised Land"?

    I know it's probably just early '90's, loved up, "E" sentiment and not
    specifically anti-war or pro-peace (or acid jazz really), but it always puts
    me in a peacful place.

    If you're not familiar with it, try and track it down and see for yourself.
