Guess it is a good idea listening to Skankindaddy's thoughts..Actually the point is now made as to why I thought that we should have a world song. Peace seems to be so elusive in this world. In one second hell can break loose and war erupts. Think about those very innocent people who have to suffer and die in such circumstances. I actually grieved about the situation in Cote D'Ivoire..I had friends from there too and cannot imagine what will happen or has possibly happened to them..

We should all think about what we can do. It takes one person, two, three then many others to make a change or make others feel a little better. I would wish that we listen to the track and get to know the extent of trouble people have to undergo..we can have stronger ideas on our project by visualizing the situation. Please also have a look at my lyrics below. It may give us some drive to push ahead:

WE NEED SOME PEACE

Verse One
Day by day hearts beat in fear and prayer
Chances of survival grow slimmer and slimmer
So much pain allover, so much sorrow
Wonder how many will see tomorrow
Tears cloud my eyes, seeing on television
Thousands being killed in a bloody revolution
Refugees fleeing, the burning homes down South
Just hear the weeping and wailing up in the North
Chorus
We need some peace
There are too many children crying
We need some peace
Too many men and women dying
Our innocent people are suffering
And the whole world's grieving
We need some peace
Peace for each and everyone

Verse Two
Think of all the babies getting orphaned
Sirens that keep blaring yet no one seems concerned
Why are hundreds of tankers rolling West
And police in the East making all the arrests
Street riots, political disturbance
Angry protesters putting up a resistance
There's been too much evil going on for long
And now time has come to stop doing our people wrong

Chorus
We need some peace
There are too many children crying
We need some peace
Too many men and women dying
Our innocent people are suffering
And the whole world's grieving
We need some peace
Peace for each and everyone
