sit the world around one table
may lips part, utter words divine
silver vows of peace for mankind
in napkins pool tears for our dead
for the trowels, bloody red fed
my brother, sister, all soul-mates
evolve from somber pits of hate
before we all find it's too late
Father has spoken!

sit the world around one table
long departed, newly dead, the living
to partake in one 'Thanks giving'
blind eyes to any difference
and in one language commence
that refrain: we have one Father
we're family--sister, brother
why should children kill each other?
His heart is broken.

sit the world around one table
we all have dreams of the future
surely peace we should seek, nuture
love lifts us beyond the fury
of life. God is judge and jury.
ev'ryone can choose to rise up
come to the table and then sup
before God's had it ... says enough
STOP this commotion!

sit the world around one table
keep them there until they're able
to cease fighting--make earth stable
Father has spoken!
His heart is broken.
(children ... where is your devotion?)

STOP this commotion!
