Give Peace a Chance - John Lennon
Today we are learning a song that John Lennon sang to stop the war in Vietnam. A lot people were against this war that people protested to stop the war. People were saying "Leave Vietnam alone" and they said the war was useless soldiers dying for nothing, they were also spreading awareness about peace and trying to stop the war going on Vietnam because they see no point. When the war was happening John Lennon wanted peace so he wrote a song called "Give Peace a Chance". John Lennon was protesting with people who where against the war. This song was played at a concert called Woodstock, there were half a million came, most of them were protesters that want Peace.
