Lyrics
English: There will never be any peace / Until God is at the conference table / There will never be any peace / Until God is seated at the conference table / Men are runnin from land to land / Tryin to make things alright / Holding meeting after meeting, constantly reaching / For what they maybe thinking is right / Everybody has a plan, ain't that just a man / People can't you understand? We gotta tell em... / What went on in the dark has come to light / Tell me who's to blame and what's his name? / You can point your finger, but you gotta remember / What was done was done by a man... / There will never be any peace / So sing a little prayer now... / Holding hand in hand / There will never be any peace / Until God is at the conference table / There will never be any peace / Until God is seated at the conference table / Men are runnin from land to land / Tryin to make things alright / Holding meeting after meeting, constantly reaching / For what they maybe thinking is right / Everybody has a plan, ain't that just a man / People can't you understand? We gotta tell em... / What went on in the dark has come to light / Tell me who's to blame and what's his name? / You can point your finger, but you gotta remember / What was done was done by a man... / There will never be any peace / So sing a little prayer now... / Holding hand in hand
