With so many negatives to focus on, I thought maybe a little positivity was in order. What I’m fighting for hasn’t changed.

Raw vocal flac is included in zip with the rudimentary accompaniment.

Turn Up the Peace
(cc)BY D A Ayer 2018-08-22

Plug in your love and turn up the peace.
Let joy build up in your soul
until you’re whole. Then give it release.

Open up compassion like a sweet new wine
and leave the taste of power
to go sour as it withers on the winter vine.

Drink only kindness and once you’ve had your fill
just listen to the rhythm that’ll start
in your heart until you can’t sit still.

Go out and dance with the people from both far and near.
Wear a smile on your face
and watch it displace mistrust and fear.

And teach all your children how to sing this song
whenever someone’s greed and spite
try to turn their rights to wrong.

Plug in your love. Turn up the peace.
Crank up the joy and fill your soul
until you’re whole and find release.

Plug in your love and turn the peace up loud.
Drown out the whine
of “I, me, and mine” as we stand tall and proud.
