“I had a dream that all of time was running dry and life was like a comet falling from the sky
I woke so frightened in the dawning, oh so clear How precious is the time we have here
Are we not wise enough to give all we are? Surely we’re bright enough to outshine the stars The human kind gets so lost in finding its way but we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day
And you might pray to God, or say it’s Destiny But I think we are just hiding all that we can be
Are we not wise enough to give all we are? Surely we’re bright enough to outshine the stars The human kind gets so lost in finding its way but we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day
All I’m really asking is: what are we doing here? Are we just killing time? Just living year to year?
In this big world, no one else can play our part Ain’t it time to just wake up and give it all
Are we not wise enough to give all we are? Surely we’re bright enough to outshine the stars The human kind gets so lost, and in finding its way we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day
we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day .. “

Let us all dream together a New Earth of Unity Love, Liora
War is an organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. It is generally characterized by extreme violence, social disruption and economic destruction. War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of political violence or intervention. The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called peace.
While some scholars see warfare as an inescapable and integral aspect of human nature, others argue that it is only inevitable under certain socio-cultural or ecological circumstances. For some the practice of war is not linked to any single type of political organization or society.
Rather, as discussed by John Keegan in his A History of Warfare, war is a universal phenomenon whose form and scope is defined by the society that wages it. Another argument suggests that since there are human societies in which warfare does not exist, humans may not be naturally disposed for warfare, which emerges under particular circumstances.

War, huh yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, oh hoh, oh War huh yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again y’all War, huh good God What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Peace is an occurrence of harmony characterized by lack of violence, conflict behaviors and the freedom from fear of violence. Commonly understood as the absence of hostility and retribution, peace also suggests sincere attempts at reconciliation, the existence of healthy or newly healed interpersonal or international relationships, prosperity in matters of social or economic welfare, the establishment of equality, and a working political order that serves the true interests of all.

Give Peace a Chance with Lyrics

Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon
Imagine …. Almost everywhere we look in the world, there’s a state of turmoil. Abuse, oppression, inequality, disregard for basic human rights, persecution, segregation. There is the permeating thought that we have to defend what is ours against enemies, foreign and domestic. We have forgotten the golden rule: do onto others.
We fight for land, for resources, for oil, for profit, for religion. We are stubborn. We are right. There is no other way but ours. There’s no giving an inch, no compromise.
Just imagine if it were different …
Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today …
Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace…
You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world …

Imagine – Playing For Change
~~Uploaded on Jan 6, 2011~~
In the beginning of 2010 the Playing For Change crew began work on a new Song Around the World, John Lennon’s “Imagine.” It has been an amazing year of production, taking the crew from the favelas of Brazil to the shrines of southern India, from villages in Nepal to the glittering urban landscape of Tokyo and New York, and beyond.
This song is the Playing For Change Foundation’s gift to the world. The Playing For Change Foundation feels honored to have the blessing and generous support of Yoko Ono as music lovers around the world join together to launch the Power to the People campaign.
The campaign seeks to advance John Lennon’s vision of peace by engaging artists and audiences to contribute to music education programs worldwide. Proceeds raised will help build music schools, support teachers and music programs, purchase instruments, and connect schools for cross-cultural learning and conflict resolution across borders.
It Is What It Is
