She is precious. Is there anything worse than war? Yes. Tyranny. Injustice. Losing the culture your ancestors fought and died for. Beautiful music and beautiful lyrics can never substitute for courage. Without it, there will be no more beautiful music or beautiful lyrics.
Rest in Peace, Johnny !! ✝ I can see clearly now the rain is gone I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day I think I can make it now the pain is gone All of the bad feelings have disappeared Here is that rainbow I've been praying for It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies .... Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies I can see clearly now the rain is gone I can see all obstacles in my way Here is that rainbow I've been praying for It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day Bri-ri-ri-ri', bright, (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day, yeah, eh It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day, yeah, na It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day Bri-ri-ri-ri', bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny...
I remember in high school seeing her beautiful photo on a song sheet and falling in love with her on the spot before I kinda lost my mind and my way. I think this song is what the world needs as a Comet looms in the sky and the lions of the world are looking for another sheep to devour. I love her again...forever! Her and Jewel. She must be the daughter of Jesus Himself. And I'm glad to be her brother. She is Jesus. and I"m HIs messenger. HElp us Lord to save the world. How can love die? How can peace die? The Lord said, "all who follow Me..." Who value life and live in peace shall rise again. Anyone who hears this song no longer has an excuse not to be real. --Herald I love you Melanie and I'm sorry to have missed you. The world hid you from us because the world was not worthy of you. And because the world feared you. As they should fear God. Have mercy on us Lord, for all we have done in the shadows...
The talent, range and control that she possessed over her voice was and will forever be unmatched. If I ever were to hear an angel sing, I’m sure this is what it would sound like
LOVELY SONG: Sometimes when I am feelin' as big as the land With the velvet hill in the small of my back And my hands are playin' the sand And my feet are swimmin' in all of the waters All of the rivers are givers to the ocean According to plan, according to man Well, sometimes when I am feelin' so grand And I become the world And the world becomes a man And my song becomes a part of the river I cry out to keep me just the way I am According to plan Oh, there's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one For sometime when we have reached the end With the velvet hill in the small of her back And our hands are clutchin' the sand Will our blood become a part of the river? All of the rivers are givers to the ocean According to plan, according to man There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one Oh, for there's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In my life, please buy one For sometime when we have reached the end With the velvet hill in the small of her back And our hands are clutchin' the sand Will our blood become a part of the river? All of the rivers are givers to the ocean According to plan, according to man There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one There's a chance peace will come In your life, please buy one…..
I’m forever grateful to Gail Reiser, my college freshman roommate at Illinois State University, who introduced me to the brilliance of Joni. She touches my soul, and I still remember us singing and dancing to this song almost 50 years later.
Cried my eyes out just now watching my lovely Melanie. I have no doubt God said to her “ I needed your unique voice here and I couldn’t wait any longer “ Goodbye Ruby Melanie!!! ❤
