Music Worldview: Tom Waits, "Road to Peace"

“the killing has intensified along the road to peace

Neither side will ever give up their smallest right along the road to peace

The fundamentalist killing on both sides is standing in the path of peace
But tell me why are we arming the Israeli army with guns and tanks and bullets?
And if God is great and God is good why can't he change the hearts of men?
Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help
Maybe God himself he needs all of our help
Maybe God himself is lost and needs help
He's out upon the road to peace”

Musical Worldview: Tom Waits, "Hold On"

Today’s installment of the Musical Worldview series is inspired by this Facebook post from my friend Justin McRoberts, whose new book project we featured here.

“Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
You gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on”
