I say yes, and for me nothing speaks louder, except of course action.

This is the song for our global situation, it is the song that fits my Avatars feelings, as well as mine. Please listen and post a reply or not (as many have obviously not), any kind of reply, to let me know you listened and if you like, if you feel this is relevent or irrelevent.

I know the whole of our kind can, we just want to have to, and try...
The below bolded selected lyrics especially hold meaning for me, it rings true in my heart and soul, and this remake of Genesis by Disturbed could not have been done at a better time, in our lives or this Worlds for that matter.

It speaks the truth and I feel it is the truth we all feel, not just me, so if I am correct or not, at least reply and let me know. There is a video and watching it, the visuals are perfect for the words.

There is a mess in our world and no one of us can clean it up alone, let alone fix it.
Many hands make for light work, if only we could all put our hands one in one and together clean up what needs be.

UNITED WE STAND, THE REST, IS NOT AN OPTION!

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in

To make it a place worth fighting for


Listen

I mustve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
Theyre moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.

Theres too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh superman where are you now
When everythings gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But theres not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -

I wont be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
Were not just making promises
That we know, well never keep.

Too many men
Theres too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names were given
Stand up and lets start showing
Just where our lives are going to.



Let it be known, those who knew, tried.

ADVISOR,

While Phil Collins and Genesis may have "penned" and performed the original version, I feel the Disturbed remake literally Drives it home ... especially with regards to the timing and How it "fits" into that which is the Global environment we are experiencing Today.

I couldn't agree more with what JAK mentions, "an apt choice for today's world".

My sole concern, here, is that a particular individual would feel the need to take it upon themselves and act upon strong personal desires and emotions, rather than to put those same desires and emotions to work in uniting those with similar beliefs and desires to form a unified front, per se.

Personally, I don't feel we live in a day and age where "one can make the necessary difference"; however, if that One were to focus their efforts, desires and beliefs towards assisting others in forming said unified front ... change can take place. Otherwise, and unfortunately, I can only foresee the efforts of one Very determined individual going by the wayside while the "status-quo" carries on without a hitch ... even with the Best of intentions and efforts.

Just sayin'

As one, we are but one. As Many we are a voice to be reckoned with.
Where stand yea?
