Lou Wilson - Peace and Love (Amani Na Mapenzi) Movement IV (Encounter) lyrics

[Verse 1] Ever since this world of ours began Man's been k**ing off his fellow man, yeah Cursing and swearing and threatening the other side As he waves flags and symbols saying 'Peace to all mankind' Lord, the air is foul with the smell of hypocrisy As bloody armies scream, screams for victory Lying there in the mire is a mama and child Their anguished cries trampled by boots on either side [[?] Solo] [Verse 2] Now with bloodshot eyes we look out beyond earth's gate Seeking new planets to plant seeds of hate, yeah Progress, it's said, makes for a softer bed, mmm But no one will lie easy if everyone lies dead Now it's time, I think, and I think you'll agree, oh To love thy neighbor and set all men free So take the shackles from the wings of the dying dove And permit her to fly away to peace and love, yeah [Instrumental Break] [Spoken: [?]] As I lay in d**h-like in the path of war, my eyes chanced to open and there, far above the waste land, a solitary blood-stained bird strained to make the heavens. "Sanctuary, sanctuary" I thought she cried. As the weeping clouds looked down upon her, a rainbow came to guide her. The heavens did receive her as all souls rejoiced. [Instrumental Outro]
