Musical Worldview: Louis Armstrong, "What A Wonderful World"
“And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance. Love baby, love. That's the secret, yeah. If lots more of us loved each other, we'd solve lots more problems. And then this world would be a gasser.”
Musical Worldview: Sister Rosetta Tharpe, “Strange Things Happening Every Day”
“There are strange things happening everyday
Jesus is the holy light
Turning darkness into light
There are strange things happening everyday
He gave the blind man sight
When he praised Him with all his might
There are strange things happening everyday”

Musical Worldview: the Impressions, "Keep On Pushing"
“Keep on pushing
Keep on pushing
I've got to keep on pushing (mmm-hmm)
I can't stop now
Move up a little higher
Some way, somehow
'Cause I've got my strength
And it don't make sense
Not to keep on pushing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Keep on pushing”

throw your head up
With this advice from me to you

Musical Worldview: Curtis Mayfield, "Move On Up"
“Hush now child, and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Move on up, toward your destination
You may find from time to time
Complication
Bight your lip, and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip
So move on up for peace will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind”

Musical Worldview: Curtis Mayfield, "We Got To Have Peace"
“We got to have peace
To keep the world alive
And war to cease
We got to have joy
True in our hearts
With strength we can't destroy
People hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choice
We're begging to save the children
The little ones
Who just don't understand
Give them a chance
To breed their young
And help purify the land
People hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choice
And the people in our neighborhood
They would if they only could
Meet and shake the other's hand
Work together for the good of the land
Give us all an equal chance
It could be such a sweet romance
And the soldiers who are dead and gone
If only we could bring back one
He'd say, "We got to have peace
To keep the world alive
And war to cease
We got to have joy
True in our hearts
With strength we can't destroy
People hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choice
And the people in our neighborhood
They would if they only could
Meet and shake the other's hand
Work together for the good of the land
Give us all an equal chance
It could be such a sweet romance
And the soldiers who are dead and gone
If only we could bring back one
We got to have peace
We got to have peace
Let the world know
Peace, peace, peace
We got to have peace
People hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choice
Save the children
Save the children
Save the children
And the people in our neighborhood
Who would if they only could
Meet and shake the other's hand
Work together for the good of the land
Give us all an equal chance
It could be such a sweet romance
And the soldiers who are dead and gone
If only we could bring back one
We got to have peace
We got to have peace
Let the people singin'
Peace, peace, peace
We got to have peace
I sing peace, peace, peace
We got to have peace
Peace, peace, peace
We got to have peace”
Musical Worldview: the Kinks, "Some Mother's Son"
“Some mother's son lies in a field
Someone has killed some mother's son today
Head blown up by some soldier's gun
While all the mothers stand and wait
Some mother's son ain't coming home today
Some mothers son ain't got no grave
Two soldiers fighting in a trench
One soldier glances up to see the sun
And dreams of games he played when he was young
And then his friend calls out his name
It stops his dream and as he turns his head
A second later he is dead
Some mother's son lies in a field
Back home they put his picture in a frame
But all dead soldiers look the same
While all the parents stand and wait
To meet their children coming home from school
Some mother's son is lying dead
Somewhere someone is crying
Someone is trying to be so brave
But still the world keeps turning
Though all the children have gone away
Some mother's son lies in a field
But in his mother's eyes he looks the same
As on the day he went away
They put his picture on the wall
They put flowers in the picture frame
Some mothers memory remains”
Musical Worldview: Elvis Costello, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding"
“As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' 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
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?”
