Combination of trying to write a John Lennon type anthem for kiddos, plus seeing an inspiring civil rights speaker last week AND congressman Jeff Flake's transcript. It is REALLY hard to write a song like "Give Peace a Chance" without it being cheesy, Lennon you are the man. i did write one in a past round called "Love is the Answer" and GFR performed it and it brought the house down. I will continue to try to write these positive anthems until I get one right. We already have LOVE which has been incredibly well received. Keep it going.
lyrics
Driven to the light like moths to a fire
Why go low when we can go higher?
Play to our strengths and not fears
What of our Grandchildrens golden years?
Hey
Why are we blocking clean air?
Why are we losing healthcare?
Think with your heart not your hate
Now is the time please don't wait
Pass the peace, pass the peace
Follow the light fight for what's right
Pass the peace
This is not the new normal you see
We must demand more equality
Children are watching so what can we do?
Root out the hate let love shine through
Why is it some have so much?
How are we so out of touch?
Must demand more from our leaders it's true
But it's starts with me and you if we...
