Is our politicians learning?

Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?

George W. Bush
Florence, S.C., Jan 11, 2000


When I first heard that quote back in 2000 I knew we were in trouble as a nation. That inspired these lyrics, which I fancy would make a good gospel tune. The bit before the comma should be sung by someone with bass in their voice, the rest of the line by the rest of the group. Lines without commas should be sung solo.

Is our politicians learning?

Before the, bombs rain down,
Before the, children die,
Won't you, help us Lord,
Before the mothers cry?

They beat, drums of war.
They rub, hands in greed.
Won't you, hear this prayer,
In our time of need?

Won't you, fill us with joy?
Won't you, fill us with love?
Won't you, help us to live, Lord,
Like the peaceful dove?

Won't you, uplift our hearts?
Won't you, uplift our minds?
Won't you, stop us from acting,
Selfish and unkind?

Let us, love our neighbor.
Let us, feed our enemy.
Let us, speak the truth,
And live in harmony

Before...

U.M.


Maybe this song will come in handy for the Iran, or North Korea, or Syria, or China, or France buildup?
