This unearthed gem is fitting for these times in the new year:
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
Whats so funny bout peace love & understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony.
Cause each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me wanna cry.
Whats so funny bout peace love & understanding?
