Cover art for Time To Go Home lyrics by Michael Franti And Spearhead

I feel this is an anthem for all our soldiers overseas....and for those of us who are serving or have loved ones who are serving . The lyrics are pretty simple, but in my mind I feel that this song states: there are those who sit in the high seats of power and can write and pass any laws they want, and they could care less about the amount of sacrifice it takes anyone involved in defending those laws. the toll it takes on the families and indiviuals. Whenever i listen to this song I feel it is just a cry that any service member can shout when they are away from the ones they love.

As much as I am with you, you can't blame those is their "high seats of power". They percieve things differently. However wrong it may be, they do not see it that way. They have to see people as expendalbe in order to function. The point of music like this should not be to instill hate these people but pity. See the bad and be angry, but if you want to change it keep it constructive. Not at all saying you were think this way. Its really just for anyone that will end up reading this.

Please please...
