Peace Virus @ MindSay

This is the place to post the latest version of "The Peace Virus Song" for all to become infected, started on imcheryl 's blog for Our Enchanted Garden. luckydragon  is where I try to post poems I've put together, and is a companion blog to  http://imcheryl.mindsay.com just in case you didn't know!

While there is a copyright in place it is one that allows sharing, under creative commons, with attribution given to it's creator and for non commercial gain with no derivatives allowed. If you enjoy the lyrics and the concept it's my hope the virus will spread for the good of us all everywhere.

And if you didn't read the post with the background about this you can read it here if you're curious about the  way it came about.  A curious set of  happenings occured that day and the synchronicity is just so kewl! The more I follow these quirky moments it seems the more joy and expansion comes into my life. It's as if I'm meant to follow them to see where they may lead, and often they lead to precious magical moments that assure me all is well in my world!

It all started with an on-line conversation. Someone had suggested  "...seems to be a lot of people are expressing their wishes for peace." and her hope it was a trend that would continue to spread!

Peace virus idea; hatched August 30th, 2006

(May peace with me reflect peace with you; and so on, and so on...
may it be our biggest contagion to have visited this fair earth!)

Peace virus! and there ain't no cure!
There's a peace virus running - that's for sure!
It's a virus I know and it's strain is pure!
There's a peace virus running around our world!
Don't get a shot, don't scare it away
step up and get your virus today
shake hands with your neighbour
kiss your boss and your friend
where it can grow - do be sure to send
a good dose of the virus so it won't end!

Peace virus - there ain't no cure
and it's highly contagious - that's for sure
it's vibrant and alive and it's spreading around
it's in the air, the water and on the ground
it's reaching out to touch everyone
don't try to stop it don't be afraid
this is the secret of the natural way
it was bound to happen one day
where it can grow be sure to send
a dose of peace virus so it won't end!

Through science and in medicine
we've learned bodies are amazing things
we've learned we have the ability
to help our bodies stay dis-ease free
we are even learning to day
that viruses may be the way
to beat cancer and knock it away
who would've thought that viruses
might have a purpose in our lives
perhaps it's been there all along
but no one knew till we wrote this song
which happened before we heard the news
that viruses would be new tools!

Peace virus - there ain't no cure
and it's highly contagious - that's for sure
it's vibrant and alive and it's spreading around
it's in the air, the water and on the ground
it's reaching out to touch everyone
don't try to stop it don't be afraid
this is the secret of the natural way
it was bound to happen one day
where it can grow be sure to send
a dose of peace virus so it won't end!


Peace virus! and there ain't no cure!
There's a peace virus running - that's for sure!
It's a virus I know and it's strain is pure!
There's a peace virus running around our world!
Don't get a shot, don't scare it away
step up and get your virus today
shake hands with your neighbour
kiss your boss and your friend
where it can grow - do be sure to send
a dose of the virus so it won't end


(who ever thought there'd be a day
that you'd think of a virus as friend?
perhaps we'll learn they were all along
that they're designed to help us mend?)


Ah-h-h-h choooo! Peace to you!
And please do, pass it on!
