Power to the Peaceful

My favorite group is Spearhead. I'd never even heard of them before a few weeks ago. Michael Franti is the lead singer and song writer for the band. I got to see Spearhead open for Ziggy Marley at Westbury Music Fair and I just can't get over the experience. I suddenly didn't feel overcome by the hatred and warmongering I experience on a daily basis from the TV news. I felt love and warmth as I experience the music. I was moved to tears by the message of peace he was bringing and only hope and pray that this message can be spread to all the people of the world.

You can spread the message by sending an Ecard to your friends here:

Power to the Peaceful!

Bomb the World
By Michael Franti
©2003

Please tell me the reason
behind the colors that you fly
love just one nation
and the whole world we divide
you say you’re “sorry”
say, “there is no other choice”
but god bless the people them
who cannot raise their voice

(chorus)
we can chase down all our enemies
bring them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can’t bomb it into peace
whoa we may even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can’t bomb it into peace

violence brings one thing
more more of the same
military madness
the smell of flesh and burning pain
so I sing out to the masses
stand up if you’re still sane!
To all of us gone crazy
I sing this one refrain

(chorus)

and I sing power to the peaceful
love to the people y’all
power to the peaceful
love to the people y’all
