Peace to the world

I see a baby in a crib
Reaching up for Mama's arms
Love is rising in their hearts - oh yeah

There is a man standing on the street
Shouting loud above the crowd
Saying amen to everyone one around - oh yeah

I see a man who loved his land
Laying lifeless on the ground
He said the time is now
To bring peace to the world
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world

We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah

Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bring peace to us all
Bring peace to us all

We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah

Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to us all
Peace to the world

hey air_ace, remember when WABX's slogan was, 'the station that loves Detroit as much as possible'?

This entire album is great and so hard to only play one song. This is one of my favorites and not until today have I realized it is about building a wall that is doomed to fall. Hmmm.

Nice theme.

Thank you Bill, for promoting peace through music. I think it's so important to take advantage of every opportunity in our daily lives to work for peace.

A very wise man once said…
"I charge you all that each one of you concentrate all the thoughts of your heart on love and unity. When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content. Thoughts of love are constructive of brotherhood, peace, friendship, and happiness."

I believe you meant to say that Chris Whitley's riffs are very Los Lobos.  Credit where credit is due.  But don't worry, CW also makes appearances here regularly.

Yup — also saw them once in the past decade, and they were awesome — far above my already high hopes. {#Angel}

There's a live version from the first KCRW "Rare on Air" compilation that's groovy, too.

I have GOT to invest in more Los Lobos music!  This one for sure.  The more I hear of their music, the more I wish I'd been paying attention twenty years ago... I could have been enjoying their success and washing my car to 'WAY better stuff than I was listening to at the time. {#Stupid}

Been one of my favorites for years.  LL at the top of their game in the early 90s.

Heard them in Asheville awhile ago, in a small club on the downtown square/circle...maybe 100 other people...goes without saying they blew the place away.

I saw these guys as a back-up band when they were just starting out back in the 80s. They were good then, and you could hear the potential,  but man, they have developed so well over the years and become such a tight band. I always enjoy their work.

Los Lobos and their many, many songs are cool . I was responsible for them once and they are all very chill.

I've always thought the Neville Bros, The Band, and these guys are the best groups ever. They can play any kind of music and play it well. Hildago's tenor is butter.

Just amazing what these south central L.A. homies brought to us from de barrio. I love this band ...wish I could bring Lowell George back from over the rainbow bridge to jam on a few tunes with these guys, he would'a dug it.

One of the most criminally underrated bands on the planet. Los Lobos is one of those bands you can like and justifiably enjoy an air of quiet superiority to the unenlightened masses.
