Playing for Change

May 11, 2009 at 12:00 pm (Music, Playing for change, Unity)

This project is an attempt to unite people through common music. As one musician laid down some music, the next musician from another part of the world was to add to the music and play along. This project is fascinating to me and I encourage any and everyone to check it out in your own time.

The Body of Christ, found in a Jam Band.

April 22, 2009 at 12:00 pm (lyrics, O.A.R., Racism, Sexism, Unity)

They might feed you all these things in your ear.
Oh, trust me it’s easy for you to just stop and hear.
You might listen to that babble a little bit, at little time.
They try to separate us, each and every single time.
They try to feed you all these racists.
They try to feed you all these sexists.
But these creeds don’t mean a thing,
because we are all one under that great sun.
You must understand!
My hand is the same as the next.
And your neighbor right next to you,
He feels the same in his chest.
In your heart,
we are one.
In your mind,
we are one.
In your soul,
we are one.
So don’t believe anything that they tell you.
On top of my cage you can be there,
We’re all the same.
I’m sick and tired of hearing everybody tell me
that my name makes me different;
that my skin makes me different.
Well, I feel we’re all the same.
On top the cage.

-O.A.R. (On Top The Cage)
