how intricate the thing called love
some say its source is from above
symbolically, a simple dove not fowl
nor owl
nor angel high
can tell the world the reason why
this ace was chosen above the rest
to take this blessing in its nest
to guard its secret, they are brave
taught to keep it to the grave
though once upon a time ago
a birdy told me, so i know
the secret of this thing called love
that when you share it all around
and keep the world safe and sound
and let it in your heart resound
that you will never be alone
but, with your own
so try and give the world a chance
don’t just frown and give a glance
but smile, and extend your hand
to help out your fellow man |

| "[the Vietnam War}didn't change my conclusions about the war being a terrible mistake, but it struck me that opponents to the war, including myself, really did not take into account the fact that there were an awful lot of South Vietnamese who desperately wanted to hang on to what they called freedom. Coming face to face with those sentiments expressed by people who did the laundry and ran the restaurants and worked in the fields was something I was naively unprepared for." |
