Carolyn Wonderland - Only God Knows When

Текст песни

What I know of peace, it ain’t hard to understand
Whether it’s shared by nations or individuals that stand
Toe to toe with each other, an olive branch in hand
Because violence is no solution when life ain’t like you planned
CH:
Only God knows when, only God knows when
We’re gonna get ourselves together, come up with the perfect plan
Only God knows when
There’s a hollow victory in winning, when everybody pays the cost
With retaliations by the hour, lives and generations lost
Everybody thinks that they’re righteous, or they never even would have fought
Why don’t you ask yourself when you’re starving, my brother,
«Just how easily can I be bought?»
(CH)
One morning you might wake up, find yourself in your enemy’s bed
I pray that you don’t slay them, have that weight upon your head
How will you explain to your father all your brother’s blood that’s been shed
When we realize that we are all brothers, there never really was no «them»
(CH)
