LOVE HOPE OPTIMISM


Love is better than anger.
Hope is better than fear.
Optimism is better than despair.

TANGERINE SEA for Canada from Kari Glass

IN TIMES LIKE THESE
by Mavis Staples

In times like these
We need to be strong
We need to carry on
We need to get along hold on
And right what's wrong

In times like these
We need to find a way
To make a better day
Keep my feet on the ground turning 'round
Come what may

Everybody
Everybody needs someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone
Everybody everybody
Everybody everybody needs someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone now

In times like these
Let the world understand
Together hand in hand
Every woman child and man
United we stand
