Beautiful song written by Bobby Darin -- so very applicable to today's crazy world of Trump and Kim Jong Un. In the movie "Beyond the Sea" about Darrin's life, Kevin Spacey played Darrin and sang all the songs himself. I think his voice is every bit as good as Darrin's. Kevin Spacey could have been a singer without ever acting at all, but he is a great actor as well as being able to belt out a song in a voice that touches the heart. See what you think when you listen to both singers. I've included the lyrics for you to sing along with. We all need to be singing songs like this and marching in the streets to let all governments across the world know -- We the people here, don't want a war!

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Hey, there, mister black man, can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game
I just want to be someone known to you as me
And I will bet my life you want the same.
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Seven hundred million are ya list'nin'?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But, speakin' one to one ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the mornin' when we rise?
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy?
If not, won't you drop this friend a line
Tell me if the man who is plowin' up your land
Has got the war machine upon his mind?
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Now, no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So, let's all build them shelves
Where they can fight among themselves
Leave the people be who love to sing.
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
I say … let it fill the air …
Tellin' people everywhere …
We, the people here, don't want a war.
