Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world
I see a baby in a crib
Reaching up for Mama's arms
Love is rising in their hearts - oh yeah
There is a man standing on the street
Shouting loud above the crowd
Saying amen to everyone one around - oh yeah
I see a man who loved his land
Laying lifeless on the ground
He said the time is now
To bring peace to the world
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world
We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah
Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bring peace to us all
Bring peace to us all
We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah
Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to us all
Peace to the world

Lobos IS amazing live - saw them last year - impressive. I believe you meant to say that Chris Whitley's riffs are very Los Lobos. Credit where credit is due. But don't worry, CW also makes appearances here regularly. |

| bluejay08003 | Posted: Oct 19, 2012 - 18:56 There's a live version from the first KCRW "Rare on Air" compilation that's groovy, too. |

| whtahtefcuk (Flagstaff, AZ, USA) | Posted: Jul 17, 2012 - 08:21 Their music has such wonderful textures to it... |
| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Jun 13, 2012 - 13:00 Thought this was the Subdudes. Always been a Los Lobos fan. 8. |
| jagdriver (Just a nod and a wink south of Paradise) | Posted: Jun 13, 2012 - 12:59 This would be a good matchup with that Teddy Thompson track. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jul 01, 2011 - 16:12 I have GOT to invest in more Los Lobos music! This one for sure. The more I hear of their music, the more I wish I'd been paying attention twenty years ago... I could have been enjoying their success and washing my car to 'WAY better stuff than I was listening to at the time. |
| michaelc (Walnut Creek, CA) | Posted: Jul 01, 2011 - 15:56 this whole album is excellent |
| whtahtefcuk (Flagstaff, AZ, USA) | Posted: Jul 01, 2011 - 15:55 I agree... Yea Yea Yea... Love Los Lobos |

| Jeff09 (Gainesville, Florida) | Posted: Sep 22, 2010 - 19:26 Heard them in Asheville awhile ago, in a small club on the downtown square/circle...maybe 100 other people...goes without saying they blew the place away. |

| sfearll (Sunny SoCal) | Posted: Oct 09, 2009 - 12:01 this was awesome live! they always sound great, wouldn't mind hearing more of them on RP! |
| DaveInVA (VA) | Posted: Aug 23, 2009 - 09:22 Sounds a little like Stephen Stills in this one... |

| HarrO (Just Down the Hill from Paradise) | Posted: Jan 13, 2009 - 19:50 These guys are playing at California World Fest in Grass Valley in July. See 'em!! They are just sooooo much better live than in the studio. One of my favorite live shows. |

| Welly (Lotusland) | Posted: Nov 27, 2008 - 09:49 I saw these guys as a back-up band when they were just starting out back in the 80s. They were good then, and you could hear the potential, but man, they have developed so well over the years and become such a tight band. I always enjoy their work. |
| froggy (North Pole, Ak) | Posted: Oct 26, 2008 - 20:10 These guys are so good... they drip the funk! |
