"That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained
Now everywhere is war - war..."

from "War" by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Album: "Rastaman Vibration" - 1976
The lyrics are almost literally derived from a speech made by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I before the United Nations General Assembly in 1963.

"I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man."

"Ebony And Ivory Live Together In Perfect Harmony
Side By Side On My Piano Keyboard, Oh Lord, Why Don't We?
We All Know That People Are The Same Where Ever We Go
There Is Good And Bad In Ev'ryone,
We Learn To Live, We Learn To Give
Each Other What We Need To Survive Together Alive..."

from "Ebony and Ivory" by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder
The song is featured on McCartney's album "Tug of War" - 1982

Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
