heaven hope you are ready,
to receive your latest sensation,
the man has moves for days,
a voice that will make angels sway,
i know you are making room,
for another pure heart
the night has move aside the sky,
to make way for another bright shinning star,
the angels are standing in line,
to greet the greatest dancer
of all time,
moonwalk pop side ,
peter open the gates let Michael inside,
the major wonder will make heaven shine,
rejoice with a abundance of love ,
i'm gonna miss you Michael,
yes i am,never will i get use to,
losing a friend ,
yes all roads must come to end,
your circles complete,
off to a new journey
Michael i'm gonna miss you,
your moves sooo smooth,
your voice full of tunes,
gone too soon ,
but i understand.
God had another plan,
thank you thank you ,
your music will live on,
from sun up to sun down,
never be another like you ,
no no no gone too soon,
Michael i gonna miss you,
yes i am,never will i get use to,
losing a friend ,
yes all roads must come to end,
your circles complete,
off to a new journey

man of war don't go to war no-more,
why don't you study peace,
cause peace is what we need,
i hear the voices,
of falling soldiers,
from shore to shore,
from all over the world,
battle fields sea to sea,
singing as one in harmony.
singing ,singing,singing,
man of war
don't go to war no-more,
why don't study peace ,
cause peace is what we need,
politicians fighting over land,
don't go to war no-more
holy man fighting over religion.
don't go to war no -more
please.this is not Gods plan,
world leaders fighting over oil,
don't go to war no -more
please,please,please no-more,
of all the soldiers who blood ran dry,
on some strange land they gave up life,
i hear the cries they sing to the night,
warning us to do whats right,
they sing,sing,sing,
man of war,
don't go to war no-more,
why don't you study peace,
cause peace is what we need,
flowers line graves,
as flags wave,
a lonely horn plays tap,,
as tears fall,
from mourners face,
as if they are listening ,
to the soldiers song,
played on the wind ,
sing,sing,sing,
man of war ,
don't got to war no-more,
why don't you study peace,
cause peace is what we need,
when will you learn ,
there's no peace in war,
those killing fields
never even the score,
please ,please please ,
no-more war,
i hear the soldiers,
that are gone,
i hear the wind
as it blows the song,
from shore to shore,
sea to sea,
all in union harmony,
man of war don't to war no-more,
why don't you study peace,
cause peace is what we need,

NPR's All Thing's Considered
Global Downturn Hits Mexico Harder Than Most
The global recession has hit Mexico harder than most other countries in the region. Mexico is suffering a drop in exports to the United States, a decline in remittances from Mexicans living and working in the United States, the continuing impact of swine flu on tourism, and the shrinking of the oil sector.Dangers Of Buying, Selling Anything Under The Sun
These days, almost anytime someone borrows money, the debt gets repackaged into a security that can be bought or sold like a stock. Critics say abuses in the securitization market helped bring the housing meltdown. Overhauling that industry is on the Obama administration's agenda.American Indie: 20 Years Of Merge Records
In 1989, two members of the rock band Superchunk launched a tiny record label. Twenty years later, amid the struggles of the music industry at large, Merge has become one of the most respected and successful companies in the business.More Americans On The Hunt For Gold
Call them the '09ers. More Americans are hunting for gold, according to the Gold Prospectors Association of America. The group says membership has risen as the economy has fallen; it also helps that the price of gold has risen.Ex-California Gov. Gray Davis On State's Crisis
IOUs, service cuts and layoffs. California is the poster child of state budget crises. The state is currently facing a budget shortfall estimated at more than $26 billion. Former Gov. Gray Davis — Arnold Schwarzenegger's predecessor and the loser of the 2003 recall election — shares his thoughts on how California's Constitution has worsened the impact of the recession.New York Voters Weary Of State Senate Chaos
Chaos continues in New York's state government, ever since Republicans and two dissident Democrats tried to take control of the state Senate on June 8. Bills that need passing are in limbo, and control of New York City's schools passed from the mayor to a hastily appointed Board of Education, when a June 30 deadline passed.Swine Flu Pandemic: What May Lie Ahead
Swine flu has been out of the headlines lately, but it's still making people sick in more than 100 countries. In fact, the World Health Organization recently named it the first official pandemic since 1968.Russian Expert: Pressing 'Reset' May Not Suffice
Andrei Zolotov, editor of Russia Profile magazine, talks to NPR's Guy Raz about what to expect when President Obama meets with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday. U.S. officials have said they hope to "press the reset button" on tense U.S.-Russia relations.Obama Seeks New Start With Russia
President Obama leaves Sunday night on a weeklong overseas trip that will take him to three countries on two continents. First stop: Russia, where he'll meet with President Dmitry Medvedev and deliver a speech at the New Economic School.Geriatric YouTube Stars Dish About Pop Music
