Etta James All I could do was cry

This Magic Moment by Jay and The Americans Cover Song by 65 Live

Can you guess what world peace issue this song is about? 

And by "world peace", I do mean world peace... if only humans were humble, empathetic, and educated enough (aka wise enough) to understand righteous vengeance is nothing but an ancient power hungry rhinoceros myth, and violence always ripples so far, far beyond their own short-sighted ego spheres of rationalization, bleeding throughout many generations. 

This song is yet another peace prayer, for the better not the worse #together and shared with much #hope and #compassion for ALL who did, do, and will suffer from bloody hatred, chosen entitlement, and nonsensical injustice  🌍 🕊️💨

@bananasutra lyrics:

[intro]
Soaring above bloody ashes,
Rising like love’s the only breath
That blooms like hope
Not doom in trope…

[verse 1]
Sparks of snark never heal, they only burn,
Barks of sharks never help, they only churn,
At the love
Of a dove.

[verse 2]
Preachers of vengeance dressed in light,
Call it justice, call it right,
But no bomb can bless a child,
In the womb of hate gone wild.

[chorus]
Raise your heart to peace, not war,
Blessed be the faith we’re fighting for,
Let mercy rise to bliss, let it prove
We dare to care for the love of a dove…

[bridge]
Why praise the wound, deny the tear?
Preaching for safe, by planting fear?
If truth is right, then we shall see
No holy blame can set us free.

[chorus, soaring]
Raise your heart to peace, not war,
Blessed be the faith we’re fighting for,
Let mercy rise to bliss, let it prove
We dare to care for the love of a dove.

[outro, gentle]
Let’s lay the anger in the dust.
Let’s be holy, return to trust...
And when they ask what we’re made of
Hum: “The love, the love of a dove.”
