There′s a chance peace will come
In your life, please buy one
There's a chance peace will come
In your life, please buy one

Sometimes when I am feelin′ as big as the land
With the velvet hill in the small of my back
And my hands are playin' the sand

And my feet are swimmin' in all of the waters
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man

Well, sometimes when I am feelin′ so grand
And I become the world
And the world becomes a man

And my song becomes a part of the river
I cry out to keep me just the way I am
According to plan
According to man, according to plan
According to man, according to man
According to plan, according to man
According to plan, according to man

Oh, there′s a chance peace will come
In your life, please buy one
There's a chance peace will come
In my life, please buy one

For sometime when we have reached the end
With the velvet hill in the small of her back
And our hands are clutchin′ the sand
Will our blood become a part of the river?
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man

There's a chance peace will come
In your life, please buy one
