Anthem of the ‘60’s during the Vietnam War. Shades of Judy Collins and Leonard Cohen, using the same lyrical spices as the song, Suzanne. Let’s walk hand in hand. Kiss with kind embrace. Emerge from our cocoons. And fly like butterflies.

Lyrics

Make Love, Not War

Will you share my jasmine tea
until our pot runs dry?
Sleep under the shining stars –
watch sunrise in the sky.
See the colors all around
without a reason why.

Let’s walk hand in hand.
Kiss with kind embrace.
Smell blossoms in the fragrant air.
Trouble without a trace.

Let’s declare it everywhere.
Every person. Every place.

(Refrain)
Make love, not war.
Make love, not war.
Make love. Make love.
Make love, not war.
Hate is such a bore.

(mid 8)
Friend instead of foe?
Truth instead of lies?
Unity for you and me
grows and multiplies.
Emerge from our cocoons.
And fly like butterflies.

I’ll tell you all my dreams
if you will tell me yours.
Why fit in when standing out
frees us from the herd?
Dig the music. Do the dance.
Up to us to spread the word.

(refrain)
