Sparky,
I was 95% sure but sometimes you have to ask the obvious.
Imagine. What a song. I think it may be the best of all time. So simple, not overdone and such a powerful message.
I once had a high school project that I had to make a poster for. It was the following words from Fall of the Peacemakers by Molly Hatchet written in beautiful penmenship. Then there was a picture John Lennon down in the corner. Simple yet with meaning.
A king without a sword, a land without a king
Truth without a voice, one song left to sing
One song to sing
A wise man told me there's something you should know
The way you judge a man is you look into his soul
And you'll soon see everything
A voice from the past cried give peace a chance
He paid our price, now he's free at last
And imagine, we called him a dreamer
How many times must good men die
How many tears will the children cry
'Til we suffer no more sadness
Stop the madness, oh, stop the madness
If ashes are ashes and dust is dust
And our journey is end, then return we must
To the sands of the shore
White doves in flight, peace to all
But tell me why do the peacemakers fall
Must we bury any more!
A hush stilled the crowd as the horse rode by
A black-laced veil hid the tears from our eyes
And we all wept in silence
How many times must good men die
How many times will their children cry
'Til we suffer no more sadness
Oh, stop the madness, oh, stop all the madness
Still gives me shivers. Such powerful words. The teacher gave me a B on the projects. I guess he did not get the connection.
Peace and happiness to all.
