"When shall we learn that we are related one to the other, that we are members of one body....  Until the spirit of love for our fellow-workers, regardless of race, color, creed or sex, shall fill the world, until the great mass of the people shall be filled with a sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice cannot be attained, and there can never be lasting peace upon earth."
-- Helen Keller

LONELY TRAIN

Artist:  Black Stone Cherry


Big train rolling down the line
Makes me lonely
Sometimes I want to ride away
Sometimes I wish to ride away

Big plane flying through the clouds
Makes me worry
Sometimes I want to fly away
Sometimes I wish to fly away

But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another

Big guns lighting up the sky
Makes me worry
Sometimes I wish to run away
Sometimes I want to run away

But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another

I have seen my brothers
In ashes on the ground
Maybe in a new life
We can turn this thing around

But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another





(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding

Artist: Elvis Costello


As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?





GET TOGETHER

Artist:  The Youngbloods/Jefferson Airplane


Love is but a song we sing, and fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring, or make the angels cry
Tho' the bird is on the wing, and you may not know why
C'mon people now, smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together try to love one another right now
Right now, right now
C'mon people now, smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together try to love one another right now
Right now, right now

Some may come and some may go, and it will surely pass
When the one that left us here, returns for us as last
We are but a moment's sunlight, fading in the grass
C'mon people, smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together try to love one another right now
Right now, right now
C'mon people, smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together try to love one another right now
Right now, right now

If you hear the song we sing, you will understand
Hold the key to love and fear all in you trembling hand
One key unlocks the door, it's at your command
C'mon people, smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together try to love one another right now
Right now, right now
C'mon people, smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together try to love one another right now
Right now, right now





MAN IN THE MIRROR

Artist:  Michael Jackson


I'm looking at the man in the mirror
I'm going to make a change


If you want to make the world a better place
Just look at yourself, and make a change




I'm looking at the man in the mirror
I'm going to make a change








I'm looking at the man in the mirror
I'm going to make a change
