The Corpuscle

This is a new song Neil Young performed in his Live 8 appearance. You can find a link to a video of the performance here (scroll down to the song's title). Sadly, it wants you to download some special AOL viewing software, something that is not available in Firefox, plus the video seems to break up sometimes. It only took a few seconds to download and install the viewer, though, so I will leave it to your judgment whether you want to go through all that.

The song, itself, is lovely.

Was He thinking about my country
Or the color of my skin
Was He thinking 'bout my religion
And the way I worshipped Him
Did He create just me in His image
Or every living thing
When God made me
When God made me

Was He planning only for believers
Or for those who just had faith
Did He envision all the wars
That were fought in His name
Did He say there was only one way
To be close to Him
When God made me
When God made me

Did He give me the gift of love
To say who I could chose
When God made me
When God made me
When God made me
When God made me

Did He give me the gift of voice
So some could silence me
Did He give me the gift of vision
Not knowing what I might see
Did He give me the gift of compassion
To help my fellow man
When God made me
When God made me
When God made me
When God made me
