LaTressa Smith has submitted her own unique vision of, ‘A Peaceful Solution,’ the song written by Willie and daughter Amy. LaTressa has added her own lyrics to the song, as several other artists have, and you can watch her sing it at http://WillieNelsonPRI.com.
Willie Nelson’s Peace Research intitute site is full of information to inspire you and encourage you to find peace in your heart, and spread it in your world. Part of the inspiration is this song, which Willie and Amy have generously offered to anyone to record and post at the website. You can hear all the recorded versions of the song at http://WillieNelsonPRI.com, including beautiful versions that Willie and Amy have both recorded. And you can learn how you can submit your version of the song, too. Liz and Jay, of Hawaii, who produce the site, for Willie Nelson, have said that they send every version to Willie, no matter where he is on tour, so he can enjoy them.
Thanks to Liz and Jay for all their hard work, on this labor of love.
LaTressa says:
I think that peace comes through understanding and acceptance, through mutual respect and communication, and without peace, our souls feel out of place and in discord.
I think peace is like sweet harmony, two or more forces working together, separately, but with the same purpose, to blend and join and create a feeling of joy and completeness.
I believe that most people want to see peace and feel peace and know peace, and I hope with all my heart that peaceful solutions CAN be found and carried out so that no more innocent people have to suffer.
I also believe that peace works its way from the inside out… meaning: we all need to find peace within our own hearts before we can expect to find and create peace in the world around us.
