Only God Knows When - Carolyn Wonderland

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)
