LOVERS OF THE WORLD Strange fruit is growing Underneath the summer showers The Reaper is making his news All over the World People, Let me tell you I believe in Love Power Nation to Nation and boy to girl I know it’s only a dream But is it as hopeless as it seems? If the Lovers of the World Could see The way a loser in the crowd Can become somebody Anything they want to be Because another heart is reaching out Oh, If the Lovers of the World Could be Just like the sunrise Over a cold, cold Planet Melting down the walls of evil With a million voices singing out Everybody needs a reason to survive Someone to hold to To understand How can some men stand To live without a peace of mind? It comes from the feeling Of being in the family of man If they’ve got blood on their hands We’ve got the answer in our hearts If the Lovers of the World Could see The way a loser in the crowd Can become somebody Anything they want to be Because another heart is reaching out Oh, if the Lovers of the World Could be Just like the sunrise over a cold cold Planet Melting down the walls of evil With a million voices singing out Oh, if the Lovers of the World Could help us fight for a life That is full of pleasure Knowing that their kids can grow up In a World that is full of hope And, if the Lovers of the World Could share a little heart, a little care For our cold, old Planet Revolution’s no solution But together we can work it out

about

Lover's of the World is Mark Reeder's call to save the planet.

It was originally composed in 1986 as a Shark Vegas song
and was recorded and released by his project Alien Nation on MFS.
This new version is featured as the end-title song for Hermann Vaske's documentary film, Can Creativity Save The World?

The message and overall theme of the song itself hasn't changed,
although the situation of the Planet certainly has.
When the song was written, Global warming was a warning,
now it's a reality.
When the song was composed, the cold war was at it's height and nuclear holocaust seemed like a possibility.
Today, we are involved in a hot war and nuclear holocaust is an ever increasing probability.

Is this the future World we all want to live in?
