	Story Behind the Song About welve years ago, while watching Robert Powell's portrayal of Jesus in "Jesus of Nazareth", I noticed that he held his hand in a particular way when healing the inflicted. I saw in his hand the sign of peace and the sign of love sharing a common line. I taught this sign to my daughter with the hope that we could spread this sign around the world. It soon replaced our wave of hello, and friends and family adopted it as well. This year, even as my grandson flashed the sign to a new generation, the Holy Spirit gave me the words to give the sign a voice. I enlisted the help of Mark Rheaume, a friend who has worked with me for ten years. One challenge was to slow Mark (of speed metal thinking) down enough to accomodate the music that I heard in my head. The vocals were recorded in the most surprising and rewarding fashion, not so much as to how they were done, but who performed them and how well they did. Credit for the vocals goes to Derrick Keenan, Candice Keenan, and Myself. All in all, we surprised ourselves and our closest of friends and family. We would love your feedback. Lyrics V's the sign of the Dove. L's the sign for Love. When they share a line, That's our sign. Love, they say, makes the world go round. Love is the best thing we ever found; The love in store deep within the heart, The love where peace on earth will start. Peace breeds kindness; peace breeds calm. Peace is a curative healing balm. Peace is the Spirit within our soul. Peace and love; the ultimate goal. No bombs, no guns, no anthrax spore; No call to arms, no call for war. No room for hate; no cause to fear, Not you, not me, not now, not here. This is the place, this is the rhyme Where peace and love share a common line. This is the space, this is the time For all the world to...flash the sign. Love, they say, conquers one and all. It's love, not pride, that prevents a fall. Love is the Word, without an end. With love and peace our world could mend. Peace holds the line; peace does not run. Peace seeks justice when the day is done. Peace is the Spirit within our soul. Peace and love; the ultimate goal. No bombs, no guns, no anthrax spore; No call to arms, no call for war. No room for hate; no cause to fear, Not you, not me, not now, not here. This is the place, this is the rhyme Where peace and love share a common line. This is the space, this is the time For all the world to...flash the sign.
