Peace Train

by Cat Stevens

Now I've been happy lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy  roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together,
go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer,
it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living,
it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer,
soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again

Peace to liberal democraps means doing what they say, agreeing with everything they say, agreeing to all their demands, letting them control the lexicon, the debate, letting them draft all the bills, write the school curricula, making sure you don't touch their sacred cows (welfare recipents, unionized public employees, trial lawyers, abortion providers, gay marriage advocates and illegal aliens) and admitting you are wrong, extreme and that doing what they say and want makes them moderates. No thanks, Faizal Shittzad Stevens or whatever your muzzie name is now.

Just relax and shut out the annoying sounds of the Regressives and Nattering Nayboobs of Negativity.

This is the same game plan right out of Hitler's regime!

Do you always have conversations with yourself?

I've got a peaceful .. easy feeling ... and I know you won't let me down .. cause I'm already standing
on the ground.

my feet hit the gound the day I was born.......and yet you want me to wear your rose colored dollar store glasses......

when they tell you peace and you believe them.....they have taken over your mind.........

life is a series of small battles except when sleeping......

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

That poem was actually written in 1927 - but don't let facts get in your way. Thx.

How true!!

The poem was written in 1927 and COPYRIGHTED in 1957 ... which is the reference that I correctly made.

Phew - held my breath Ron - thanks, now I can breath again!

How about we get rid of the regressives and progressives and keep the rest of us normal people?
