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 doesn't suit your plans
Only God Knows When, Only God Knows When We're gonna get ourselves together, come up with the perfect plan Only God Knows When
It's a hollow victory in winning when someone pays the cost Retaliations by the hour, lives and generations lost Everybody thinks they're righteous or they never would have fought Ask yourself when you're starving my brother just how easily can I be bought
Only God Knows When, Only God Knows When We're gonna get ourselves together, come up with the perfect plan Only God Knows When
One day you will wake up, find yourself in your enemy's bed I pray that you don't slay him, perhaps you'll turn to him instead Converse as opposed to quarreling, and agreed or not, break bread And realize there is only us, there never really was a them
Only God Knows When, Only God Knows When We 're gonna get ourselves together, come up with the perfect plan Only God Knows When We 're gonna get ourselves together, come up with the perfect plan Only God Knows When
