Songs of Peace

In commemoration of Peace Day, and inspired by a good friend odf mine, I decided to compile a top 10 songs that, in my opinion, voicing messages of peace. So, here goes (in random order):

1. New Seekers - I'd Like to Teach The World to Sing

"I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand, and hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land."

2. Live - The Beauty of Grey

"The perception that divides you from him is a lie. For some reason we never asked why."

3. Michael Jackson - Heal The World

"There are ways to get there if you care enough for the living. Make a little space, make a better place..."

4. Zee Avi - The Book Of Morris Johnson

"If you can't stop at least smile as you go by. Sometimes you just got to know how to feel."

5. Sting - Love Is The Seventh Wave

"At the still point of destruction. At the centre of the fury. All the angels, all the devils all around us can't you see?"

6. Queen - Under Pressure

"Cause love is such an old-fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the light and love dares you to change our ways of caring about ourselves."

7. Frente - Cuscutlan

"And fatherland raped motherhood and told her it was for the global good, and now we ring the mission bell to warn their children."

8. Blue feat. World Singers - One Love

"Oh I do believe, one love is all we need!"

9. USA for Africa - We Are The World

"We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving!"

10. Black Eyed Peas feat. Justin Timberlake - Where Is The Love?

"Can you practive what you preach? Or would you turn the other cheek?"
