War

What life has taught meI would like to share withThose who want to learn...

Until the philosophy which hold one raceSuperior and another inferiorIs finally and permanently discredited and abandonedEverywhere is war, me say war

That until there are no longer first classAnd second class citizens of any nationUntil the colour of a man's skinIs of no more significance than the colour of his eyesMe say war

That until the basic human rights are equallyGuaranteed to all, without regard to raceDis a war

That until that dayThe dream of lasting peace, world citizenshipRule of international moralityWill remain in but a fleeting illusionTo be persued, but never attainedNow everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimesthat hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,South Africa sub-human bondageHave been toppled, utterly destroyedWell, everywhere is war, me say war

War in the east, war in the westWar up north, war down southWar, war, rumours of war

And until that day, the African continentWill not know peace, we Africans will fightWe find it necessary and we know we shall winAs we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evilGood over evil, good over evil, good over evil

Is this love

I wanna love you, and treat you rightI wanna love you, every day and every nightWe'll be together, with a roof right over our headsWe'll share the shelter, of my single bedWe'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this loveIs this love that I am feeling (repeat)I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know nowI got to know, got to know, got to know nowI'm willing and ableSo I throw my cards on your tableI wanna love you and treat you rightI wanna love you, every day and every nightWe'll be together, with a roof right over our headsWe'll share the shelter, of my single bedWe'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this loveIs this love that I am feeling (repeat)Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now (repeat)

I'm willing and ableSo I throw my cards on your tableSee I wanna love you, I wanna love and treatYou right, I wanna love you, every day and every nightWe'll be together, with a roof right over our headsWe'll share the shelter, of my single bedWe'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread

The heathen

Rise up fallen fightersRise and take your stance again.'Cause he who fight and run awayLive to fight another day.

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world now (repeat)Bless my eyes this morningJAH sun is on the rise once againThe way earthly things are goingAnything can happen

You see men sailing on their ego tripsBlast off on their spaceshipsMillion miles from realityNo care for you, no care for meSo much trouble in the world now (repeat)All you've got to do is give a littleGive a little, give a littleOne more time ye-a-h! ye-ah!

So you think you have found the solutionBut it's just another illusionSo before you check out your tideDon't leave another cornerstone standing there behindWe have got to face the day, ooh we come what mayWe the street people talking, we the people struggling

Now they are sitting on a time bombNow I now the time has comeWhat goes up must come downGoes around comes aroundSo much trouble in the worldSo much trouble in the worldSo much trouble in the worldThere is so much trouble, there is so much troubleThere is so much troubleThere is so much trouble in the worldThere is so much trouble in the world

War

What life has taught meI would like to share withThose who want to learn...

Until the philosophy which hold one raceSuperior and another inferiorIs finally and permanently discredited and abandonedEverywhere is war, me say war

That until there are no longer first classAnd second class citizens of any nationUntil the colour of a man's skinIs of no more significance than the colour of his eyesMe say war

That until the basic human rights are equallyGuaranteed to all, without regard to raceDis a war

That until that dayThe dream of lasting peace, world citizenshipRule of international moralityWill remain in but a fleeting illusionTo be persued, but never attainedNow everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimesthat hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,South Africa sub-human bondageHave been toppled, utterly destroyedWell, everywhere is war, me say war

War in the east, war in the westWar up north, war down southWar, war, rumours of war

And until that day, the African continentWill not know peace, we Africans will fightWe find it necessary and we know we shall winAs we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evilGood over evil, good over evil, good over evil
