You know, I actually have several opinions about this song (& other related things), but I guess I already cleared most of those up in my replies to other people's comments...So, I'll just sum up my remaining thoughts as follows:
Beautiful...& very touching... *sniffles & sobs* You can tell that this was a very personal song for Mrs. Jones, & she sang each & every word out of the depths of her heart & soul...& in a very beautiful voice, too. R.I.P., Marceline Jones... :-(
@umpire504 Actually, from all the various sources I've seen & read, Marceline Jones was really a very kind & caring woman. (During the final massacre, she even had to be restrained, because she wanted so much to try & save all the poor little children from being poisoned... :-( *sniff* ) And this song, to me, is a sign of her desire for her adopted black child--Jim Jones, Jr.--to have a good life, in spite of the racism & segregation he faced at the time he was growing up. (More in Part 2)

She had a beautiful voice, and the song can still touch people deeply, it is very beautiful. So was the dream of the peoples temple. But it ended up the be a mass murder, R.I.P. Marceline Jones.
@FarbFilm69 I agree...*nods head* Your words ring true on every level. And I'm actually getting teary-eyed hearing this song--even more so when I think about all those things you said... :-(
that' s funny how the song says mommy & daddy will protect you from all harm, & then they went & squirted cyanide flavor-aid down the mouths of those same babies. wtf?
@sugarrrsmack Actually, this song was performed LONG before the massacre...&, thus, before all that madness & evil took over what began as a very noble organization led by very noble people...
Don't believe me? Take a look at all the Jonestown documentaries / docudramas, the website "Alternate Considerations Of Jonestown & The Peoples Temple", & books like "Raven", "Salvation & Suicide", & "Hearing The Voices Of Jonestown". Study & scrutinize them all thoroughly, & you'll see what I mean.
For so many years, I just thought of this as a Death in June song. It's quite the trip to find this out.

@Ghrail DIJ's version is a different song entirely. The original is beautiful in its own right.
