Hi, I'm from Germany and I don't understand some words Robben is singing.
Has anyone written down the lyrics of "Peace on my mind"? Then I would be happy to read it here.

Thanks,
Wolfgang

My friends helped me, and here is the verse where I'm not sure if I got it right:

The call to war
Is blind man leading blind.
Every day, more and more,
I’ve got peace on my mind.

The pallid star raises,
Far from home and family,
A nation on ice
For the chilling of humanity.

What do you think?

"The pallid star raises,"

I think so, but have to listen again to get that one

Rather than:

"For the chilling of humanity. "

I think it's

"Put a chill in our humanity"

Will crank it up and listen at home later to try to confirm.

Slight aside- this reminds me of a website designed for lyrics that people have mistaken for something else because they sound like that something else. Typical example is the song Blinded By The Light where the word "duece" is easy mistaken for a certain feminine hygiene procedure... Laughing

You mean to tell me it's not "reved up like a douche"? Well that's news to me...
