It was Christmas 2001 and I was home for winter break. I had never heard Harry Belafontes version of the below song but as I listened to it over and over again my tears began to lessen. https://youtube/watch?v=FvXHMimt_n0 What applied then applies just as strong today. Maybe to you God represents love, freedom, hope, nature, humanism and all that is truly good on this planet. Whatever ones belief the peace mentioned would be welcomed... for that I am sure. Good-will to men= good-will to ALL. I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, and wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men. And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good-will to men. And in despair I bowed my head; There is no peace on earth, I said; For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men.
