how about some brother ray tonight???
"heaven help the child who never had a home
heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone
heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
heaven help us all

heaven help the black man if he stuggles one more day
heaven help the white man if he turns his back away
heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl
heaven help us all

heaven help the boy who won`t reach twenty-one
heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
heaven help us all

now i lay me down before i go to sleep
in a troubled world,i pray the lord to keep,keep hatred
from the mighty
and the mighty from the small,
heaven help us all
oh,oh,oh, yeah!!!!
heaven help us all"

if you haven`t heard brother ray`s last album it`s one of the best albums he ever has done.it starts off with nora jones and never lets you down..amazing range of music.this song "heaven help us all" with gladys knight is like going to church and testifing...

1. amen
and now from brother Willie:

What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth

There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying
Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

We believe everything that they tell us
They're gonna' kill us
So we gotta' kill them first
But I remember a commandment
Thou shall not kill
How much is that soldier's life worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

So I guess it's just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let's just kill em' all and let God sort em' out
Is this what God wants us to do

And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Now you probably won't hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there's a time, and if you're ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free

And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth
