Ms
Dynamite performed a special duet at the Brit Awards
with George Michael to protest about war with Iraq.
The urban diva and the ex-Wham
singer will teamed up to sing a version of George's 1987
hit Faith, with new words written especially for the
event.
Both stars have made their
feelings known about future military action as part of a
campaign to make Iraq get rid of weapons of mass
destruction.
Ms Dynamite performed at the
anti-war march on Saturday in Hyde Park while George
released a protest single last year. His
Shoot The Dog track had a controversial cartoon video
which attacked the US and UK policy towards Iraq.
But the
pair didnt appear together on the night because George
was in America, so they linked up using a live video
link.

The lyrics:
We've been here before
Talk of violence and talk of war
I don't want to see the children die no more
So I gotta make a stand
Can you hear my voice
Taking a life is only gods choice
I don't want blood on my hands
I am a wise man
A wise man wars with words, my daddy says
A wise man lives to fight another day
And he don't wanna
See no more mothers cry
I don't want to see no fathers die
So I gotta have faith
(George's vocal enters) I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
Lady, I guess you heard the
news today
There's got to be a better way
You know it's given me the blues
Maybe, we've got time to make it plain
People you've gotta get up off your knees
And say you know we really don't want it
I don't want it (we don't want it) I don't want it
Before this river becomes and ocean
Of tears and fears
They think they know what they're doing, pursuing
Me ain't gonna take that fall
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I've got to hope for more
Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
D to the Y to the - Allah we
praise
D to the Y to the - Jesus will save
D to the Y to the - it's all the same
D to the Y to the - if you want love
D to the Y to the - Allah we praise (gotta get it
together)
D to the Y to the - Jesus will save (gotta get it
together)
D to the Y to the - it's all the same (gotta get it
together)
D to the Y to the - if you want love
Before this river becomes and
ocean (All you've got to do is have a little faith)
Of tears and fears (And all you've got to do is have
faith, yeah yeah, yeah)
They think they know what they're doing, pursuing (One
love, one love)
Me ain't gonna take that fall
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I've got to hope for more
Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith |
