I have just done a search and can't believe that this wonderful song by Si Kahn is not in the database. I feel the words are particularly appropriate to 2001.
SEASON OF PEACE
Words and music by Si Kahn
As recorded by Si Kahn on "I Have Seen Freedom" (1991)
1. Season of peace, ground snowy white
We are at peace with each other tonight
But in how many places, while we sit at ease
Does the firing of guns break the silence of peace?
CHORUS: Season of peace, season of war,
When will these battles divide us no more?
Work for the day when all wars will cease
And each day that we live is a season of peace.
2. But in how many places do people still fight
Slave against master, black against white
Catholic and Protestant, Muslim and Jew,
Friend against neighbor, me against you.
3. Now on this earth, so shattered and torn
May our hopes be like the season reborn.
May we work together with all that we're worth
To bring a true season of peace on this earth.
WORDS and MUSIC by SI KAHNI'm writing this from memory and am not totally sure if it is "Muslim and Jew" or "Moslem and Jew" perhaps someone could correct it if it is wrong.
[Never fear, Nutty. I have checked and verified all these lyrics.--A Mudelf.]
