Rest in Power Michael Watford, thank you for all the amazing music. I think this vocal may have been entirely improvised over a backing track Roger Sanchez originally made for a mix of Kathy Sledge - Heart. I was obsessed with this track for years after hearing Tony Humphries play it the first time he DJ'd at Ministry of Sound in December 1991. Didn't get commercially released until 1994, first appearing on the album and then on this 12". Beyond magnificent.
What we need is a little peace and harmony for my brothers and my sisters loving one another, well, you see my love, it's like a tree planted on the side of the water well, rooted around a rock at the shore of a ? oh lord I'm reminded of the day when my brother and my sisters had their hands reaching out for me all I gotta do is reach back see, make no difference about the color of our skin you see in this world today we need a little peace and harmony to go with a little love and understanding well if I was you if I was you if I was you I'd walk over to someone and just sit down and talk to them just for a little while find out what's going on in their mind you'd be surprised yeah they love you, they love me a love for you, love and harmony loving you loving me oh lord one of these old days you're gonna miss me you see I'll be gone somewhere where I'll have a little love a little peace and a little harmony wrapped all around in the arms and in the bosom of what I call the almighty, the almighty, the almighty power of love, power of peace, and the power of victory one day all of our children will be able to benefit from the mistakes that we have made before you see it's important to let them know educate them so they will understand that hatred and love don't go together see we gotta be strong in what we belong to my love for you well have a little love for me we gotta have peace and harmony in that way, I will never be tired of being lonely oh father of joy of love I have inside of me a strong arm for someone that's fallen down unity in my heart that'll never tear us apart and the victory of success knowing that my love for you your love for me will never be in vain well I love you I know I know I know

What we need is a little peace and harmony
for my brothers and my sisters
loving one another, well, you see
my love, it's like a tree
planted on the side of the water
well, rooted around a rock
at the shore of a ?
oh lord I'm reminded of the day
when my brother and my sisters had their hands
reaching out for me
all I gotta do is reach back
see, make no difference
about the color of our skin
you see in this world today
we need a little peace and harmony
to go with a little love and understanding well
if I was you if I was you
if I was you I'd walk over to someone
and just sit down and talk to them
just for a little while
find out what's going on in their mind
you'd be surprised yeah
they love you, they love me
a love for you, love and harmony
loving you loving me oh lord
one of these old days
you're gonna miss me
you see I'll be gone somewhere
where I'll have a little love
a little peace and a little harmony
wrapped all around in the arms
and in the bosom of what I call
the almighty, the almighty, the almighty
power of love, power of peace, and the power of victory
one day all of our children
will be able to benefit
from the mistakes that we have made before
you see it's important to let them know
educate them so they will understand
that hatred and love don't go together
see we gotta be strong in what we belong to
my love for you well
have a little love for me
we gotta have peace and harmony
in that way, I will never be tired of being lonely
oh father
of joy of love I have inside of me
a strong arm for someone that's fallen down
unity in my heart
that'll never tear us apart
and the victory of success
knowing that my love for you
your love for me
will never be in vain well
I love you I know I know I know
