we build bigger, better bombs they'll blow us all to kingdom come facebook, fox, twitter, cnn bombard us 'til we're numb walls and presidential bans for those who pray differently we ask "what is wrong with them?" well, what is wrong with you and me?
why can't love be the next big thing why can't peace and understanding be at the core of everything ain't it time we start with the human heart and try to end the suffering why can't love be the next big thing
we've sent rocket ships to planets a million miles away science has unlocked the secrets to our dna the wonders of nature all under our control yet we have so little insight into the nature of our souls
why can't love be the next big thing why can't peace and understanding be at the core of everything ain't it time we start with the human heart and try to end the suffering why can't love be the next big thing
open up your heart we all must do our part so let's get to it we can do it we can rise above it all
let's make love the next big thing let's make peace and understanding be at the core of everything it's time we start with the human heart end the suffering let's make love be the next big thing love...the next big thing

Janice Merritt on harmonies - adding a little more love... (Thanks, Bud for recording those harmonies!)
We hope you enjoy it. Comments encouraged. Love always welcome.
By the time the first chorus came in I was sitting round a campfire holding my youngest and singing along under the stars...and when you soar on the bridge, well its one of the sweetest musical moments I`ve had in some time. A beautiful performance of very well crafted lyrics.
"we can rise above it all". Oh yeah. That's the line on which turns this hopeful song. When the world seems bent on forcing us to choose sides, we can rise above it all.
A great message, riding a simple and effective melody, carried by natural voices and supported by a strong progression and tasteful band. And it sounds good in my 'phones to boot.
Lovely song. A wonderful set of lyrics with an excellent sentiment and a catchy sweet melody topped off with a great vocal and some lovely harmonies by Janice. A great collaboration from some of the forums best.
AMEN Brothers and Sis! We need more beacons of hope like this. WTG, Tom
+1 to what Tom said. It says it all for me. I can't say anything better so I won't try.
Di and I had this discussion over the weekend. What took us all afternoon to say, you two gentlemen said in about three minutes. A tip of the hat and a salute to both you. Wishing both of you the very best. And thank you for this.

Thanks, Robert. Glad to know the bridge worked so well for you - wasn't sure if that would "do its job" or not... And pleased that we could provide you with some family time!!
The alternative has been there since time immemorial...now to just get folks to embrace it. Yep, we love the sentiment.
When you invited Janice in and we read that it was a floyd/Greg collab we knew it was gonna be strong. It's a floyd production and vocal...what is left to say about that combo. At the risk of being trite...that combo simply delivers EVERY time.
We would also like to mention that the sheer sincerity of this production is apparent all through -- lyrically, vocally and arrangement wise.
Sincere and hopeful, i.e., not angst ridden.
Superb!!!
J&B
PS Janice says thanks again for inviting her to play a small part.
A great collaboration guys. You've got a super song there and a much-needed sentiment. I caught my breath when the first note of the bridge started, wow Floyd. A great job all round.
