Strength Through Peace

This is a song written in support of Democratic Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich's House Resolution 1234: To end the United States occupation of Iraq immediately. To find out more about Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich and HR 1234, please go to myspace.com/denniskucinich.

This is a later version of the same song...I went back to the studio and added more guitar and backing harmonies. :) Please enjoy. I intend to do a video with compelling visuals that don't involve me singing into a mic, but this is all I have for right now. ~Much Love, Alex Arndt

Strength Through Peace

1-2-3-4, We all want to end the war
Stop the violence with peaceful torches
Bring home the troops to their mother's porches
1-2-3-4, The resolution is on the floor
This peace plan means no more bloodstains
No more killing for oil in vain

Yeah, join the conscious revolution
Let your voice be part of the solution

"Strength through peace" and harmony
One world based on integrity
Let's try peace in foreign policy
And revive our true democracy

Resolution 1234 is a plan to exit and close the door
To tanks on streets with worried faces
Sleepless nights and cold embraces
1-2-3-4, A revolution's about to soar
Peace must be the real intention
To channel the higher dimension

Yeah, join the conscious revolution
Let your voice be part of the solution

"Strength through peace" and harmony
Insure domestic tranquility
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity

"Strength through peace" and harmony
One world based on integrity
Let's try peace in foreign policy
And revive our true democracy

Where's the uproar? Billions of dollars to settle a score
Let's not sit in passive silence
Our taxes spent on senseless violence
1-2-3-4, Simple truth can't be ignored
It's not republican or democrat
The answer is where your heart is at

you mean you don't like how "democrat" rhymes with "heart is at"? Just checking to see exactly what you mean. I'm always open to critiques. :) Just wrote the song in a couple days and recorded this past week.

This is a newer version of the same video I posted a few days ago...I went back to the studio to make the proper edits to make it work for the "Kucinich Weekly Update" and decided to add more guitar and backing harmonies. Enjoy. ~Alex

Aiming to follow the plan the UK had in the 30's (strength through peace)... interesting.

[artemizzy]

great song! added it to my playlist :)

[DBD1787]

Great song.

Instead of keeping Bush's secretary Gates, Kucinich should be made Secretary of Defense. Then we can turn it into a Department of Peace.

[1mayven]

this is great!

[PeaceProfit]

One is neither part of the problem nor the solution, one is merely a consequence of the situation, take responsibility of the consequence, improve the situation.

One chooses to create the world, one desires to live in, thus deserves their fair share of responsibility in the resulting aftermath, and so it shall*be, justly laid upon the doorstep of each.

Resistance is futile, participation is optional . . .

((((Critical*Mass))))
