I hope

[sheshe2]

"I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it."
-Margaret Atwood

Get Together

Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right no


Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

...

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command

1. Yes

[onethatcares]

2. there was a time in the 70s

when we were that close........ then capitalism took it over and fucked it all up.

[2naSalit]

10. It happens to all good things...

Sadly.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Not as close as you think, and not as fucked up as you think. Definitely not out of reach now. . .nt

[ChazII]

3. One of my

favorite songs.

[Atticus]

4. We drove to DC for the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech and I was struck by

the message upon a young black man's shirt: "There is only one race---the human race. Everything else is just culture".

[Haggard Celine]

6. How true!

The difference between different-colored people is negligible. We've migrated and interbred for thousands of years, so our differences in color and other superficial characteristics are insignificant. We can breed without any problem and our offspring can also breed easily. The differences in human color are indeed non consequential and about nothing more than culture.

5. " They won't give peace a chance. That was just a dream some of us had ".

Not giving up yet.

22. This song, and another one

by Buffalo Springfield, For What It's Worth - They would be good tunes to play on loudspeakers at the trucker protests. Cool things off a little, maybe.

[2naSalit]

11. That's one of those songs...

That makes me drop everything and move toward the source (radio, stereo, etc.) until the last note. It's like a reflexive thing, I can't help it.

[jalan48]

21. One of my all time favorite songs.

Thanks for that. So many meaningful song lyrics from my youth. Those were some difficult times in our country also, but at least we were young and full of hope that we could make a difference. And we did.
