Song by Michael Franti

Video clips from the movie "I Know I Am Not Alone" which is Franti's movie. These are scenes from Iraq in 2003 - 12 years ago, the Iraqis were starting to live in American-made hell, and the hell continues until this day.

Lyrics to Michael Franti's “Tolerance”

A child is born, and a mamma's torn

About the life that it's bound to live

A sun and moon and a modest home
Is all they asking the Lord to give
But politics and big events they never seem to notice the little guy

So make a plan or simply hold a hand but don't ever be a passer by

Tolerance or violence and the whole world goes to war

Is one enough or is one too many

Before we say, "No More"

Could you ever love a pot of gold?

Could you ever love another lonely soul?

Could you ever find a love that was oceans wide?

Could you ever find love in another stranger's eyes?

Oh, give a little,

Tolerance, tolerance

We need you more and more

So lend a hand or simply hold a friend

That's in need of a life support

Draw a picture, share a whisper

Anyway that you can rise above

And when the end is near who is goanna volunteer

To be the last one to die for love

Tolerance or violence and the whole world go to war

Is one enough or is one too many

Before we say, "No More"

No more, no more, no more, no more.
