Well
well sometimes we sit alone, at least think that we are
but there's a force around, which makes us look up to the sky, sky, sky.
I often feel as though, there's nothing down below
but dirt and earthly beings, with their own ways and means, means, means.
But i can't help but know, that as everything grows
There's something bigger than it all, and we forgot it at the fall.
Well it's Deep, Deep, Deep
Deep like a well
and you'll Feel Feel Feel
Feel as though you fell
Deep, Deep, Deep enough to show
that we are all part of something, that grows.
Well often I communicate with the nature around me
I hope it's not too late, for me to apologize
for the rise of our populations
Crime, Crime, Crime against our own world
Crime, Crime, Crime against the boys and girls
Crime, Crime, Crime against our own minds
which buries us, buries us, buries us like a well.
Well it's deep enough to grow, deep enough to grow
I thought I let IT know
I was paying attention, to the situation
I don't want to be the devastation to the positive, positive Vibration.
well, well, well
well, well, well

Rise Up
brutha now you know the gam
you know how to beat it
don't you give the man your name
if you want to leave it
Sista how they got you down
Feelin like you're solo
levee break and the water rise
with no where to go now.
Children how they hustle you
tell you how to live right
tell yo what you got to do
if you want to look right
Soul people got to reach
Soul people rise up
Soul people got to teach
if times are gonna wise up now
I know we can push on through
I know we can Rise Up
I know we can push on through
If we keep our eyes up
I know we can push on through
I know we can Rise Up
I know we can push on through
If we keep our eyes up now
turn away from Babylon, and it's concrete fungus
Balance with our natural world
is success amongst us
Use the legs that JAH gave you
walk the path to Zion
there's many shoe of your fellow man
In front of you to try on now.
I know we can push on through
I know we can Rise Up
I know we can push on through
if we keep our eyes up. 2x
I know we can
and I know we will
I know we can
Yes I know we will
I know we can push on through

I know we can push on through
if we keep our eyes up
to the sky, to the sky, to the sky, to the sky
Children got to feel
Children go to grow
Children got to love
Children got to know
We got to tell the children
The power of their youth
got to tell the children, tell the children the truth.
cause i know we can, i know we will,

I know we can push on through
I know we can rise up
I know we can push on through
If we keep our eyes up

Don't Go
I can hear your feet headin towards that door
what now? you don't love me no more?
You know my weakness baby, but you know you make me strong.
Without you I can't keep on keepin' on.
Oh how could I break that little heart of yours
Leavin' me now is like closin all my doors.
Don't leave me now
I got so much love to give
Cause' you're all I, all I need to live.
I know I hurt you,
but you're all I, all i need to live.
Why do we cheat our love, and throw it around like fire?
Givin into darkness, and fallin' to desire
and why do we hurt those, so close, so close by our sides
leavin' love stranded, with no where to hide.
Oh and how could i think that it'd be alright
to leave you lonely, in the middle of the night
with someone else's arms holdin' me tight
All I can think about baby is makin' things right.
don't leave me now
I got so much love to give
Cause you're all i need to live.
I know I hurt you, but you're all i need
you're my life, my baby,
you're all I need to live.
Don't leave me now, don't go, don't go
don't leave me now, don't go, don't go
I never make the same mistake twice, I'm gonna be nice
sugga and spice, sugga and spice.
don't leave me now, don't go, don't go
don't leave me now, don't go away.
Movin On
I've lived a life full of action
and I've watched it all pass me by
And I sit, and wait for reaction
Just an answer to fall from the sky
But I'm not, gonna sit broken hearted
And let your memory cloud my mind
And I know, I'm gonna finish what i started
Keep on searchin' for what I'm meant to find.
Dark thoughts can drive a mind crazy,
Good times can fill you with light
And i want to glow like a baby
And be the moon, for a night
Wise woman said, let him go sista
Old man say, never let go
But I look to the moon for an answer
She sends her peace, and then i go
and I go like...
eh eh, eh eh, eh eh eh eh eh
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
da da da, da dadadadada...
I walk one foot through the other
and I turn my SOUL to the East
and I smile, smile Lord and continue my journey
Love lost, but I found me some peace
Love lost, but I found me some peace
Love lost, but I found me some peace.
One World
we don't need no first world, we don't need no third world
What we need is one world, under JAH!
If we only take, what it is we need
no longer consuming, in the name of greed.
distribution of the wealth, no longer in the hands of a few.
could be the balance, that we need it too
So if you want happy children, when the food has found it's way
no longer controlled, by the N.A.F.T.A.
Then stand up for people, stand up for land
and help each other, for the keys in our hands.
we don't need no first world, we don't need no third world
What we need is one world, under JAH.
Who can claim the land? Oh i tell you it's part of us all
Some men try and cut it down, cut it down, cut it
But it's social downfall
When everyman can plant his food
when every woman can feed her soul
Oh I tell you the hunger would weaken
my children would become more whole.
So lets remember as our fathers
Of the past, often knew
Oh what follows us in this life children i tell you is based on what you do.
So lets do unto others, as you would do to yourselves
and lets share in Earth's blessings
for good life and good health.
Cause we don't need no first world
We don't need no third world
what we need is one world
Under JAH
We don't need no first world, first world
We don't need no third world, third world
what we need is one world
Under JAH.
one love

they battled everyday, but never settled the score
omm lei lei omm lei lei

When i was a small child i was carried on the back
of an African woman, like a little sack
I listen to her singing, yes i listened to her song
by her words and by her ways i learned my right and wrong
Omm lei lei omm lei lei
lei lei lei lei lei
omm lei lei omm lei lei
lei lei lei lei lei
Now I am far away, in a distant land
Nomadic and still searching for a chance to understand
Who it is that I am, where it is I be
though I live in Babylon my spirit is still
Free.
One day I'll find a place, where my spirit reigns
I'll feel the rhythm of the bush and fell
Africa run, Africa run
Africa run, Africa run
through my veins
Africa run, Africa run,
Africa run, Africa run,
through my veins
Africa run, Africa run
Africa run, Africa run
through my veins

Praise You
Oh I, wanna praise you
Yes I, wanna praise you
for all them things you do, I look to you for truth said I
Oh I, I wanna praise you
You work so hard, come home and love me right
You are my life, you make my night
we walk so many paths, not all of them are true
But it's so nice my friend, to walk this one with you
Said I, I wanna praise you.
This could be for my man, this could be for your man
this could be for your woman,
this could be for God
For the mothers and the fathers
for the sisters and the brothers
For the love of your life, for your husband or your wife, said I.
I look to you for truth, your actions are so pure
so wise with so much youth, there's one thing that I'm sure that I, I wanna praise you
I wanna praise you in the morning, I wanna praise you in the afternoon
I wanna praise you in the evenin, evenin, evenin, underneath the moon.
Oh I, I wanna praise you.
Tomorrow
I know my grandfathers, dwell in the sky
guiding me in the right direction
Well I'm trying to follow through on my intention
action to, action to the full.
Well I'm swimming in my experience, like it was a pool
Cause mama always said tomorrow is a promise for a fool.
If I live till tomorrow, I'll erase all my sorrow
And I won't look behind me, as if the past were there
And all this love, in this heart of mine
Oh I, am gonna share.
If I close my eyes I can see my future
playin out, playin out
Like it was a reel
and I'm holdin' on, to this inspiration
Cause it's all, cause it's all I can feel.
If I live till tomorrow, I'll erase all this sorrow
and I won't look behind me
as if the past were there, and all this love
all this love, all this love in this heart of mine
oh I, gonna share.
Chains of Temptation
with all these temptations
Calling us, from our true purpose
as spiritual beings, with material means
Caught up in physical scenes
Just tryin to chase our dreams
It's all I can do, all I can do
to stay true, to stay true
well it's all I, all I, all I, all I can do.
In this life, it's all I can do
In this life, it's all I can do
temptations
Oh babe, to walk the easy path
where I know, where I know
where I go.
Should I just take a chance, and follow this here romance
Or should I just wash my hands
wash my hands, of the illusions.
It's all I can do, all I can do
to stay true, to stay true
well it's all I, all I, all I, all I can do.
In this life, it's all I can do
In this life, it's all I can do
Hunger and Strife
Cuts like a knife
Hold on to your life
Oh but baby don't let go of your SOUL!
Where are the lost tribes
Oh they still tryin to find their way
Through the desert
Well prophecy calls me, but these chains
but these chains
I said Prophecy calls me
but these chains I've got to break away
from these chains
from these chains
of temptation, of temptation
from these chains, from these chains
of temptation.
Got to make it back to Zion
Got to make it back to Zion
Got to make it back to Zion
Got to make it back to Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion.
