haz67kir I love how Kirsten has put her own spin on her dads lovely track Peace In Our Time. The video is beautiful and very fitting for the War Child charity she is raising money for from the sale of this single. Favorite track: Peace In Our Time - Kirsten Adamson & Friends.

'Peace In Our Time' - Kirsten Adamson & Friends

Written by Stuart Adamson

Released - 11th April 2022

Can we really be living in the modern world when yet another senseless war is happening? Half of Ukraine's children have now fled the country, more than 5 million Syrian children are in need of humanitarian assistance and more than 12 million children in Yemen are in danger from war, disease and hunger. Around the world millions of children are suffering through acts of evil.

Feeling helpless and overcome with sadness I wanted to raise money to help these children in anyway I could. I put a call for action on my social media pages and was overwhelmed by the response for people to help out and take part in the release.

The video puts children in the spotlight as they poignantly mime the words to the song asking for "Peace in our time", whilst the vocals are performed by some of the UK's finest folk and Americana acts.

'Peace In Our Time' was written by my late father Stuart Adamson (Big Country, The Skids) and first released in 1989. This release features vocals from Karen Matheson (capercaillie), Dean Owens, Jill Jackson, Dave Burn, Lisa Rigby, Dan Raza, Emily Smith, Paul Gilbody and Jason McNiff.

I have chosen to support War Child charity with this release, donating all profits to their emergency appeal. They are currently working directly with children who are living through terrifying conflicts, offering them safe spaces and delivering life-changing services and support.

By supporting this single you will be making a difference to thousands of children whose lives have been turned upside-down by conflict. You’ll help War Child provide the emergency care and support they need to overcome the emotional and physical toll of conflict, as well as access to services to catch up on lost education that will help to transform their futures for the better.

Please help us spread this much needed message of peace.

Thank you,

Kirsten Adamson

lyrics

Who holds the money, who holds the need
Who holds the strings of misery or the purse of greed
And the gunmen reap while the gangsters sow
And law is cheap when the smugglers go

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

In sun-kissed rooms in city slums
Minds are restless till the airmail comes
From the forest floor to the western mind
Like a chat show topic on a party line
And the hardest love of all is to forgive
As the world comes tumbling down

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

Let all the rain come down on blind desire
Like a thundercloud that holds a prairie fire

I hear the blame and I see the cause
A stronger voice and a stronger law
But buyers buy and sellers sell
Public consumption of a private hell

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

I was attracted by the jacket and listened to it, and it was so cool that I bought it. I want to listen to it on my day off. By the way, it has nothing to do with the CD, but I was surprised at the speed of the official response in a good way. Oboro
