I was just listening to the beautiful song by Matisyahu posted on KarmaTube. Oh, if only one day...
All my life, I've been waitin' for (waitin' for)
I've been prayin' for (prayin' for), for the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more (fight no more)
There'll be no more wars (no more wars), and our children will play
One day, this all will change, treat people the same
Stop with the violence, down with the hate
One day, we'll all be free and proud to be
Under the same sun, singin' songs of freedom like...
...
We are so capable of much more KINDNESS and LOVE, why do we still fight each other?!
The song does, for a moment, make you feel hopeful! I'm thinking of using it for one of my lessons. I'll send it to a few students and see what they think, I'm especially interested to know what the younger ones will feel/think...
