Partical lyrics to Marvin Gayes Song.

What's Going on ??


Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
Drugs is not the answer
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We do need to escalate
Together is the only way
Mother needs you , Our babies need you
You see, War is not the answer
For only love can conquer self hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today


Whats more important and what can we do
to help each other, Arguing about stuff
that just don't matter
Haiti is proof of that..........
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so we can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on.............. Listen
Right on.............. Listen

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our partners are gone
When do we stop competing and get the Full completion
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Ladies
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby


~~~ This song came to mind as I was browsing. Even with our eccentric brothers and sisters they can give plenty. With all the things going on in the world that effects us all in so many different ways. Yet, We still can't simply get along.

Love is just as powerful and is one tool that can be used to get back on track.

For one day, LISTEN intensively to each other !!!

Who ever is crying out to be heard, Why can't we simply hear them ??

If we keep beating each other up then, Don't get mad when others do it.


Peace



 
Love is the solution to our problems. Truly loving each other the RIGHT way... without conditions!

Thanks Sis, But I am not sure if we know how to love each other anymore. More Less the right way.

Thanks again

I need to be rejuvenated. **smile**

Peace
