MJC _________________________________________________ "Be yourself and stand your ground Don't you let nobody turn you around Life is large" - Pete and Maura Kennedy Check out the Kennedys' Official Home Page: http://www.KennedysMusic.com/ Fab photos, the Official tour diary, dashboard Buddha haiku, groovy merchandise...what more could you ask for? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 01:06:48 EDT From: Fantine729@aol.com Subject: [JP] words of wisdom I suddenly found myself humming this softly to myself this evening, and thought that this is a song we need today and in the days, weeks and months to come. It is bringing me an astounding amount of solace, even as I have two TVs running concurrent coverage. I hope that no one here lost loved ones today, though I know none of us is unaffected (my mother, who is a federal law-enforcement agent, has actually been sent down to the city to work security). Peace (I pray), Sheila Can't Kill Hope with a Gun by Pete and Maura Kennedy Far beyond the flood of time Past the darkness of despair There's a dove and a rainbow sign We can find our pathway there Now we've seen the violent way And it's failed us everywhere But there's a place where the wise men say We can go, if we only dare Oh you can't slow down a lightning strike And you can't stop the rising sun No you can't hold back the hands of time And you can't kill hope with a gun There's an army on the road Marching toward a better day Trading hate for a lighter load In the end it's the only way Though we face a rocky slope There's a feeling in the air Faith can carve a stone of hope From a mountain of despair Oh you can't slow down a lightning strike And you can't stop the rising sun No you can't hold back the hands of time And you can't kill hope with a gun The past is a memory And the future's far away We've seen our destiny And it's down the bloodless way Every time we stand up tall Knowing that we're not alone We can face a great stone wall And bring it down with the strength of hope Amen.
