Lyrics:
People cryin' out for some peace There's a lot of people listening Time for us to sit down and talk Try to build an understanding What we feel can be altered in the moment We decide, between the light and the dark side.
So take a stand, in this place, Cos' we're building our own future, Just one by one, Day by day, Free to choose a life that's better for all of us.
Putting people's lives at the top is the first consideration Changes in the heart of just one will affect entire nations Don't give it up to the fates and force around us, We decide between the in and the outside
So take a stand, in this place, Cos' we're building our own future, Just one by one, day by day, Free to choose a life that's better for all of us. Sons and daughters, Mothers and fathers, Sister's and brothers, Friends around the earth.
All deserve to live in a world that welcomes every single birth.
So take a stand, in this place, Cos' we're building our own future, Just one by one, day by day, Free to choose a life that's better for all of us.
He was a genius who was ahead of his time. As I mentioned above, so many of his songs are prescient for what society is going through now. For example, I don't particularly like his song "The Human Touch" but I thought of that song constantly during lockdown:
dear, dear, to link will do just fine We all crave connection to your heart I want so much your precious love The human touch
Face to face Feel your life To hear your breath Your heartbeat Silent word Flashing eye The human touch Engage me
