Quotes

• He's five feet two and he's six feet four
  He fights with missiles and with spears
  He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
  He's been a soldier for a thousand years

  He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an athiest, a Jain,
  a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
  and he knows he shouldn't kill
  and he knows he always will
  . . . He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
  • "Universal Soldier", from It's My Way! (1964)

• It ain't money that makes the world go round
  That's only temporary confusion
  It ain't governments that make the people strong
  It's the opposite illusion
  Look right now and you will see
  they're only here by the skin of our teeth as it is
  so take heart and take care of your link with Life

  ... Life is beautiful
  if you got the sense to take care of your source of perfection
  Mother Nature, She's the daughter of God and the source of all protection

  Look right now
  and you will see she's only here by the skin of her teeth as it is
  so take heart and take care of your link with Life
  • "Carry It On", from Power in the Blood (2015)
