Love is the way
Love is the light
We light up today
And today is alright
Love is the way
Love will take us higher
We are aligned
And we are united

We are united by our differences
Our different kinds of interests
Our different intelligences
Artificial or natural mystic
Each one a chrysalis for perfect imperfections
Yeah, we are limitless 'cause spirit lives inside us
Mother nature did us a favor
Gave each one of us a different flavor
Different visions, different faces
Different incarnations of crazy
Some want to make some noise
Some want to hear the silence
Some want to drive the bus from town to town and give out high fives to
Teachers and bakers and movie ticket takers
To midwives and doctors and magic baby makers
'Cause if love is what you're working on
And peace is what you're dreaming
If you're fighting for freedom
You are my people

You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
Humankind
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
Humankind

I don't believe in fighting
'Cause we ain't got that much time
Tomorrow's ground is a foundation laid down
By decisions that I make today
I don't believe in war (no)
I've been taught to love my neighbor
I've been all around
And all I've found is we're all the same
Yeah, the chief of police and the dealer the same
Neither the strongest can survive
Only he who can handle change
The secret to peace is to quiet the brain
Letting go with all our hearts
And letting love touch everything
If love is what you're working on
And peace is what you're dreaming
If you're combating evil
You are my people

You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
Humankind
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
Humankind
Yes, we are (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Humankind
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

We share the same room
Your moon is my moon
We all wane and wax
We all wanna take a nap in the afternoon
Some wanna be small spoon
Some wanna be big spoon
I like to rotate positions
And flip it over for a different view
Some like it reggae
Some like it smooth jazz
Some like to slow things down
Some like to shake that ass
So many different expressions to take pleasure in
You are uniquely you
Just like everyone else
Love is the way
Love is the light
We light up today
And today is alright
Love is what we're working on
Peace is what we're dreaming
We are all equal
You are my people

You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
Humankind
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
You're my kind (my kind)
Humankind

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Humankind (humankind)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Humankind (humankind)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
You and I (humankind)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Humankind (humankind)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
