Most of the time I sit down with my guitar or at the piano, and I play for awhile until I get a new riff or groove that I like a lot. Then I'll concentrate on building around that line of thought by adding words and textures. At first I'm only trying to please myself, and hopefully what I like will appeal to others.

We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart.

Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart.

Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room.

There can be a brighter day
There can be a new tomorrow
Love will find a way
