<b>HELLO BONJOUR</b><br />
<br />
I don't need a passport<br />
To walk on this earth,<br />
Anywhere I go cause I was made of this earth<br />
Im born of this earth,<br />
I breath of this earth,<br />
And even with the pain I believe in this earth, So<br />
I wake Up every mornin and Im steppin on the floor,<br />
I wake up every mornin and Im stepping out the door<br />
I got faith in the sky,<br />
Faith in the one,<br />
Faith in the people rockin underneath the sun<br />
Cause every bit of land is a holy land and<br />
Every drop of water is a holy water and<br />
Every single…
<b>HELLO BONJOUR</b><br />
<br />
I don't need a passport<br />
To walk on this earth,<br />
Anywhere I go cause I was made of this earth<br />
Im born of this earth,<br />
I breath of this earth,<br />
And even with the pain I believe in this earth, So<br />
I wake Up every mornin and Im steppin on the floor,<br />
I wake up every mornin and Im stepping out the door<br />
I got faith in the sky,<br />
Faith in the one,<br />
Faith in the people rockin underneath the sun<br />
Cause every bit of land is a holy land and<br />
Every drop of water is a holy water and<br />
Every single child is a son or a daughter of the one Earth mama and the one Earth papa, So<br />
Don't tell a man that he can't come here cause he got brown eyes and a wavy kind of hair, And<br />
Don't tell a woman that she can't go there because she prays a little different to a God up there<br />
You say you're a Christian<br />
Cause God made you<br />
You say you're a Muslim<br />
Cause god made you<br />
You say you're a Hindu and the next man a Jew<br />
Then we all kill each other<br />
Cause God told us to NAH!<br />

Don't panic, don't panic<br />
No drum machine<br />

Throw your hands high and<br />

<u><i>Note:</i></u> Michael Franti wrote, 'Bomb the World', soon after, 09.11.2001, and it has become a, Peace Anthem, to people all over the World, who believe, 'strength through peace', is better then strength through a heavy handed Orwellian police state, with forced, compliance/peace, to make people do what a Government wants them to do by, fear, torture, or acts of war, such as bombing them into submission.<br />
<br />
If in these troubled times, you find a person or persons who also understands that it is indeed, 'strength through peace', that creates a mindset, a paradigm, an atmosphere in which hopefully people, groups, Nations come together in the direction of Peace, so as to have the opportunity to improve us all, yes, if you know a person or persons like that, for the betterment of civilization, for a better World, support them<br />
<br />
Understand, 'strength through peace', is not about, not fighting if necessary, but about being wise on how best to bring together those that are a part of this thing called Life, so that hopefully we can develop ways in which through interactive dialog, schools, and foundational principals such as all people being endowed by their creator with unalienable rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, so that we all may truly move forward on this very small Planet, to a future within the, 'Light of Wisdom', allowing for a free and prosperous World of people to live Life, in the greatest amount possible, of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Violence brings one thing<br />
More more of the same<br />
Military madness<br />
The smell of flesh and burning pain<br />
So i sing out to the masses<br />
Stand up if you're still sane!<br />
To all of us gone crazy<br />
I sing this one refrain<br />
<br />
(chorus)<br />
<br />
And i sing power to the peaceful<br />
Love to the people y'all<br />
Power to the peaceful<br />
Love to the people y'all<br />
<br />
Bomb the world (armageddon version)<br />
<br />
I don't understand the whole reason why<br />
You tellin' us all that we need to unify<br />
Rally round the flag<br />
And beat the drums of war<br />
Sing the same old songs<br />
Ya know we heard 'em all before<br />
You tellin' me it's unpatriotic<br />
But i call it what i see it<br />
When i see it's idiotic<br />
The tears of one mother<br />
Are the same as any other<br />
Drop food on the kids<br />
While you're murderin' their fathers<br />
But don't bother to show it on cnn<br />
Brothers and sisters don't believe them<br />
It's not a war against evil<br />
It's really just revenge<br />
Engaged on the poorest by the same rich men<br />
Fight terrorists wherever they be found<br />
But why you not bombing tim mcveigh's hometown<br />
You can say what you want propaganda television<br />
But all bombing is terrorism<br />
<br />
(chorus)<br />
<br />
We can chase down all our enemies<br />
Bring them to their knees<br />
We can bomb the world to pieces<br />
But we can't bomb it into peace<br />
Whoa we may even find a solution<br />
To hunger and disease<br />
We can bomb the world to pieces<br />
But we can't bomb it into peace<br />
<br />
911<br />
Fire in the skies<br />
Many people died<br />
And no one even really knows why<br />
They tellin' lies of division and fear<br />
We yelled and cried<br />
No one listened for years<br />
But like, "who put us here?"<br />
And who's responsible?<br />
Well, there's no debatin'<br />
Cause if they ask me i say<br />
It's big corporations<br />
World trade organization<br />
Tri-lateral action<br />
International sanctions, satan<br />
Seems like it'll be an endless price tag<br />
Of wars tremendous<br />
And most disturbingly<br />
The death toll is so horrendous<br />
So i send this to those<br />
Who say they defend us<br />
Send us into harm's way<br />
We should all make a rememberence that<br />
This is bigger than terrorism<br />
Blood is blood is blood and um<br />
Love is true vision<br />
Who will listen?<br />
How many songs it takes for you to see<br />
You can bomb the world to pieces<br />
You can't bomb it into peace<br />
<br />
<br />
(chorus)<br />
Power to the peaceful<br />
And i say, love to the people y'all<br />
Power to the peaceful<br />
And i say, love to the people y'all<br />

<b>LOVE INVINCIBLE</b><br />
<br />
(lyrics by Michael Franti & Spearhead)<br />
<br />
When I fall down, I need a helping hand.<br />
And when I lose my head, it's cause it's always buried in the sand.<br />
When I get stuck on myself, feelin' sorry for myself<br />
Will you help me grab a hold and please don't patronize my soul.<br />
When I start to lose control, when I get irrational, when I start to get too high,<br />
you see me come floating by, I say<br />
<br />
Touch me in the morning sun, when I feel impossible.<br />
Touch me in the morning sun,…
<b>LOVE INVINCIBLE</b><br />
<br />
(lyrics by Michael Franti & Spearhead)<br />
<br />
When I fall down, I need a helping hand.<br />
And when I lose my head, it's cause it's always buried in the sand.<br />
When I get stuck on myself, feelin' sorry for myself<br />
Will you help me grab a hold and please don't patronize my soul.<br />
When I start to lose control, when I get irrational, when I start to get too high,<br />
you see me come floating by, I say<br />
<br />
Touch me in the morning sun, when I feel impossible.<br />
Touch me in the morning sun, show me what is possible.<br />
Touch me in the morning sun when I feel impossible, show me what is possible.<br />
Teach me love invisible,<br />
Teach me love invincible,<br />
Teach me love invisible,<br />
Teach me love invincible.<br />
<br />
When you’re down, you need a helping hand.<br />
And when you lose your head, I'll help you wash away the sand.<br />
And when you get stuck on yourself, feelin' sorry for yourself<br />
I will help you grab a hold and I won't patronize your soul.<br />
When you start to lose control, when you get irrational, when you start to get too high,<br />
I see you come floating by, I say<br />
<br />
Touch me in the morning sun, when I feel impossible.<br />
Touch me in the morning sun, show me what is possible.<br />
Touch me in the morning sun when I feel impossible,<br />
show me what is possible.<br />
Teach me love invisible,<br />
Teach me love invincible<br />
<br />
When we're down, we need a helping hand.<br />
And when we lose our heads, it's cause they're always buried in the sand.<br />
But when we get stuck on our selves, feelin' sorry for our selves.<br />
Will you help us grab a hold and please don't patronize our souls.<br />
When we start to lose control, when we get irrational, when we start to get too high,<br />
You see us come floating by, I say,<br />
<br />
Touch us with the morning sun, when we feel impossible.<br />
Touch us with the morning sun, show us what is possible.<br />
Touch us in the morning sun when we feel impossible, show us what is possible.<br />
Teach us love invincible, teach us love invisible<br />
<br />
Teach us love invincible, hold us love invisible, share us love invincible,<br />
be us love invincible, help us love invisible, touch us love invisible,<br />
breathe us love invincible, sing it love invisible. ">

but we all talkin´at the same time<br />
we say we want peace<br />
but nobody wants to change their own mind<br />
so it goes on and on and on and on and on<br />
for a thousand years<br />
and it goes on and on and on and on and on<br />
what language are yours tears?<br />
<br />
everybody wants to live the life of kings and queens<br />
but nobody wants to stay and plow the fields<br />
everybody wants to tell their neighbors how to live<br />
but nobody wants to listen to how they feel<br />
<br />
but what I get to say right now,<br />
is love enough, yeah<br />
or can you love some more?<br />
<br />
it goes on and on and on and on and on for a thousands years<br />
what language are your tears?<br />
what mother nature gives<br />
mankind refuse to let live<br />
taking the universe in their own hands<br />
oh yes lord<br />
short circuiting the positive<br />
judging the negative<br />
causing the most unusual circumstances<br />
everyday we rise again<br />
but our love will fight again<br />
hoping that all hearts will receive our love token blessed words<br />
we speak again lovely words to do me friend<br />
for us to live in this here garden of eden<br />
is love enough?<br />
<br />
what language do you laugh in<br />
what language do you cry in<br />
what language do you dance in, make romance in<br />
what language do you make love in<br />
or pray to the above in<br />
what language are your fears?<br />
what language are your tears?
