one tin soldier......

this song has been much on my mind today....
not for any particular reason.
it's from the movie "the legend of billy jack"
probably my all time favorite movie...

sometimes the injustices in this world
become so incredibly overwhelming....
so much hate....and jealousy.
kindness...and love
 really are
all 
that 
     matter...

Billy Jack!!!!!! I don't even know how many times I saw this movie, it was such a powerful movie of my generation. I had such a crush on him, as every girl my age did.
I haven't thought about this song in years, thanks so much!!!! Just made my day :)

I haven't actually seen this film Jody but agree wholeheartedly that the negative elements of our society can be overwhelming. Here, here for peace!

I think we're really telling our ages on this one.....Tracey. This movie has always "stuck" with me.

And Jubby....this movie is from 1971. Billy Jack was an ex Green Beret that helped save wild horses from being slaughtered for dog food and protect a school for runaway kids. I'm sure the film and this song are pretty lame by todays standards but it was great back when!

Definitely telling our ages! I went to youtube after I saw this and watched a bunch of Billy Jack clips. Wow, blast from the past. It brought back all of the anger and frustration I felt as a young teenager growing up in the early 70's.

I remember learning every word to this song after seeing the film on tv when I was a young girl. It had a big effect on me. Thank you! -and yes, I had a crush on him too :)

Yenny...this song...and the movie...had a very strong message that spans all the years between then and now. It brings to mind a quote: "We are all angels with only one wing and can only fly by embracing each other"...until we become enlightened enough to realize that no one will fly....thanks for visiting!
