l

You have made great planes to span the skies
You gave sight to the blind with other mens' eyes
You even made submarines stay submerged for weeks
But it don't make sense you can't make peace
You take one man's heart and make another man live
You even go to the moon and come back thrilled
Why you can crush any country in a matter of weeks
But it don't make sense you can't make peace
You can make a transfusion that can save a life
Why you can change the darkness into broad daylight
You make the deaf man hear and the dumb man speak
But it don't make sense you can't make peace


These words were written by the legendary Willie Dixon - one of the most important blues songwriters of his era.

Music by Willie Dixon
