  • Everyone should hear that song at least one time in their life. Especially those calling to war..

  • How can anyone not like this

  • How can anyone not like this

  • great song:)

  • I am from Springfield, Ohio, John Legends hometown, and I can honestly say that there aren't enough out there. If you ever thought you were one of us, than stand up and say something.

  • My HOBY choir sang this, and it was probably the most inspirational feeling ever. This song brings me back to the best week of my life. Thank you John Legend!

  • 11 people dont want the world to get better

  • So encouraging! this song is hit me so deeply after earth song and heal the world MJ!! AWESOME!!

  • I love this song

  • reminds me of Martin Luther King for some reason

  • I'm doing this song for my graduation.Really like it

  • @jojo2345ism i have to do it for 8th grade graduation !

  • @ccteen16 me too!

  • I remember when we sang this song for our 6th grade graduation!!!!!!

  • i love this song!

  • Ronnie Lewis Music

  • RonnieLewisMusic

  • i love this song

  • This is an inspiring and beautiful song, and an inspiring and beautiful artist.

  • what is more inspirational... this song? or man in the mirror?

    i love both

  • wow beautiful song

  • This song is church. I'm inspired every time I hear it. Wow John. Thank you for this gift.

  • check out youtube.com /joshiofficial

  • Really, a beautiful song and a beautiful performance. It doesn't get much better than this.

  • I like being a member of a party where, when it holds its presidential convention, the camera doesn't have to scan and zoom all over the place to find one non-white.

  • you sound like a racist citizen.. look beyond party, skin color and national origin..peace is coming from ALL of us getting along...love me for who I am, not what I appear...see the Buddha nature within

  • My choir is doing this song for our last concert of the year. I had never heard it before a few days ago, but after hearing it, I got goosebumps. It is already one of my favorites and the first time I tried to song it, I almost cried. I react very emotionally to music. lol This is very beautiful.

  • Great inspirational song. I always have this song stuck in my head. Legend is hands down the best singer today!

  • I actually prefer it SATB version, maybe that's cause my sister sings it in choir...

    But I LOVE both! :D

  • My Class and i just performed that song with john legend a few hours ago for the frito lay MLK Program and he gave us made prop....

  • i really enjoy this song. we are using it in our new years eve service. go legend!

  • amazing.

  • i love his lyrics "no more call to arms, unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for"

    he knows that fighting is sometimes necessary for peace and change,

    one of the greatest singers of this and all past generations

  • i thought he said, "No more called to war"

  • no, he said "no more call to arms" and then followed with "unless"

    and he's right, sometimes there's is no easy or peaceful way to harmony and peace, unfortunately, sometimes, we must fight for what we want and love

  • why would he say no more call to arms? He DEF. says "No more called to war...unless its love and peace that we're really fighting for"....we are fighting a war right now...and it's not necessary...but if we were fighting for love and peace...thats something to fight about.

  • do u know what "call to arms" means?

  • @cjhero3 yes i do...it's pretty much the same thing...but my point is that he doesn't say "call to arms". You can tell thats not what he is saying on both the album and the live performances'. Though it means the same thing, those aren't his EXACT words. Thats all I was saying.

  • @cjhero3 yes i do...it's pretty much the same thing...but my point is that he doesn't say "call to arms". You can tell thats not what he is saying on both the album and the live performances'. Though it means the same thing, those aren't his EXACT words. Thats all I was saying.

  • Yeah I agree. I'm pretty sure it is.

  • my current fav singer! inspirational!

  • I just love his music and his sound,,, u go John Legend.....this is ur time....and i thank u for just having some good music 4 me 2 listen 2, music that makes me think...........

  • Awesome song. Captivating voice. Run on sentences.

  • my best friend loves this song... lol she made me like it too great song John Legend.. nothin from the norm that is.. lol

  • my favorite song! go john legend!

  • This guy is simply great,PERIOD!.

  • john legend FTW

  • Great song.

  • Got chills!

  • YOUR AMAZING..!!

  • im only 14 but this song really gets me. he said wat our world need to do. reach out and take each others hand, stop fighting, be at peace with one another. live life happily!!!!!!

  • @cristianoronaldoroc7 - Yeah but half the world wants to take that hand and slip it into the pocket of the other guy and see how much he can take and get away with it. THAT'S the problem.

  • @J0hnGaltJr that is also very true

  • @cristianoronaldoroc7 if only life were that simply peoples nature always clash with another you should not speak with out wisdom of life boy

  • @flanny701 im not speaking with out wisdom of life, if you read my comment you would see that im merely stating what we SHOULD do and fyi im a girl. i kno people natures tend to clash and we dont see eye to eye i already no that, im stating we need to look beyond the superficial and see the truth.....

  • @cristianoronaldoroc7 then maybe you should stop saying we should do it and start showing us an example and live it out saying i should go kill a man won't make me do it ,but someone doing it in front of me and taking action trying to get me to do it hey i just might do it verse just tellin me, but in any case its the same thing when trying to get a ass to do something like this you might as well be asking him to kill someone. you gotta show up and lead them stop telling them learn by experience

  • @flanny701 ok I'm just telling people my interpretation of this song...I can go out there and provide an example of what we truly need to do...doesn't mean anyone is going to pay attention...yes we should take action..but then again not many people actually pay attention...and like I said before, I'm not saying we should do it, I'm pointing out my opinion or rather interpretation of john legend's song.

  • i love this song it is great and has a lot of feeling touches the heart!

  • this was our senior class song!!!

    North Forest High School!!!

    Bulldogs;yew know!!!!!!

  • Beautiful song and appropriate for this wonderful time in history. Thank you John!

  • beautiful song  4 a beautiful time n history

  • THAT WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

  • i love this song, it's soo inspiring to me.

  • The DNC has never been this off the hook and probably won't be, until Obama runs for his second term! This is a beautiful song and it should be played on these hip hop and r&b stations, in fact everytime they are about to play senseless Soulja Lil Boy, they should replace it with this song!LOL! Our kids deserve better! Peace!

  • uhmm personally, i love you john with a burning passion. i'm a huge fan of this song and everything, but i'm not an obama supporter. whoever said you have to like obama in order to like this song is mentally ill.

    i love you john legendd<3

  • Our Music Industry is not ready for a serious artist like john legend

    Keep doin wat you doin john your gonna go down with these historic times

  • @MILKJUGNEE so true like i just dont get why his vidoes don't have tens of millions of hits and why he isn't number one??? i hope he doesn't get disillusioned and turn to autotune... there is so much room for more soul

  • i love obama as well, he is a great at inspiring people but his legacy is yet to be decided. he faces alot of challenges and America hopes that hopes he can face them and lead us through these times. Bush did nothing to be proactive towards anything lets just hope Obama's legacy is not hurt because of Obama's policies.

  • nice nice

  • what are they chanting at the beginning?

  • I love obama

  • i love this songit's insperasinal,inspiering,and amazing

  • he has a nice butt:)

  • haha i read this then scrolled up to the viedo and it was on his butt lol

  • stunning ♥

  • One possibility for the arts in our lives is when it challenges us to be better, to grow. This work does that, and beautifully. The music, the plea, build and build through the song - what a wonderful, wonderful work of art! The Georgetown Phantoms just sang this at the Georgetown Chimes' 2009 Cherry Tree Massacre concert in D.C. It was so moving, so uplifting!

  • what and what international choir

  • WOW, you must be a smart fella?

  • Still get chills from this performance :)

  • i love this song so much, especially the 4 minute mark in this video!!!! John Legend is Amazing!!!!!

  • i love this song, especially when it gets to the 4 minute mark!!!!!!!!!

  • did anyone else think that woman at the beginning sounded boody weird?

    amaaaaazing song. i love john legend.

  • who gives a shit if it's political!!!! who even said it was! what he shows in the real music vieo is what everyone should think. i love john legend!

  • luv dis song

  • Wow!Amazing performance!

  • Arvydas and acausebiggerthanme are idiots just because he sang it at the convention doesn't mean it is politicaly inclined so if y'all wanna hate just go suck on something tough!

  • O its not political? If you type it in youtube it takes you right to a video for the democratic party. Dumbass

  • but this video is on john's channel

  • I did buy the CD and loved it!

  • Lets take a stand...we can...we can...together we can ...make this world a better place...i'm dying to believe...we have gone too far...it's not about Obama...it's not about Black...White...We are all people...We are all unique...the world would be so boring if everyone looked the same...it's about life and purpose...ONE LOVE

  • I love this song ....i don't care if it is used for politics... i'm sure John Legend don't care if you all buy this cd...either way you just can't deny that the song surpasses greatness ;0 ;0 ;) :0 :).... look at it from all angles...the song is uplifting and u can use it to open your narrow minds...politically or not :)...

  • I loved this song until I realized it was politically connected - too bad! I dying to believe that Christ is looking for us to lead. And money is not the answer!!

  • I was going to come and give this man props for a nice song but then found out its so entrenched in political affiliation. So I must say....not buying the CD. Sorry John. I guess I can hear it when the "NBA cares" commercials come on during Cavs games.

  • haha I am in the exact same boat

    Cavs fan also

    kept hearing it on the commercials

    i hate when any celebrity tries to be political, whether i agree with them or not

  • i love this song so much

  • awesome song for the election.

  • this is easily one of the best songs ever written. Perfect sound, perfect beat, everything is just perfect.

  • I love this song!!

  • i love this song to death

  • This guy is awesome! How long has he been around? I really like this song.

  • amazing performance, amazing song

  • Very Powerful song; Good Luck MR. PRESIDENT.

  • like it

  • love it

  • i want some more of it.

    tim mcgraw(i couldnt help myself.)

  • am i the only one who thought the guitar sounded SERIOUSLY outta tune?

  • YEA, I would say your the only one who thought that. Actually I thought the Triangle was out of tune, you dork.

  • The version from "Real Time w/ Bill Maher" blows this one away. I like the choir and all, but I think he gets more into a performance if he's sittin behind a piano. His vocals are always better when he's playin. Killer song,,great talent.

  • "The future started yesterday. We're already late"

  • beautiful...i love it!

  • Amazing moment I won't forget.  What a song performed from the heart.

  • beautiful and inspiring!

    "we can destroy hunger, we can conquer hate." such powerful lyrics! John Legend is amazing!

  • my teacher plays this song in class

  • Great song. I wish the best for Obama's administration. The expectations are so incredibly high, but I have faith in him.

  • i love this song and its meesage

  • This is a beautiful song

    && also the message

  • I love this song from John and it amazing

  • this is such a beautiful song!

  • All I can say is this song and his performance, energy and heart that are so deeply embedded in this song... are absolutely beyond words.

    Please add his performance from CNN Heroes also. His animation with the Agape International Choir behind him was absolutely awe inspiring. You have earned a faithful fan here!

  • i believe in america again

  • Just like his last name says... he is truly one of the greatest music legends of our times. This song is so inspirational. It brings tears as these beautiful lyrics resonate in your ear. It certainly moved me! Just AMAZING!

  • Wow America's looking better and better each day producing more hero's. Thanks to a new presidency, educated, committed, passionate selfless people are finally making a difference. John is just one of many..........

  • POWERFUL MUSIC! Keep up the great work brother Legend.

  • I just bought the album and unfortunately I've just gotten light of this song. First thing I thought of was President-Elect Obama and I became overwhelmingly proud to be an American and an African America. John Legend is to me, and should be, one of the great musical legends of our generation. He's heavily talented.

  • even as a Canadian, this song brings tears to my eyes. Simply inspirational!

  • I am so excited for a new America, its about time we as US citizens stood up and vocalized that we want change, and actually obtained someone who can bring what we seek: a new America. This song is so great. JL is the perfect person to perform this song

  • Played this at our State Student Council Conference Such an awesome song, and so inspiring.

  • Wonderful performance as usual!!

  • I love this song

  • This song is so perfect for OBAMA....I am so proud of America...Finally we have someone who will represent all Americans...not just the wealthy and white. We finally opened our eyes.
