Verse 1
Running for survival of the fittest while the dead ones sleep
while our sisters crying, brothers dying, mothers and fathers weep
Can’t afford the education, while knowledge is the masters key
Got us stretching out for charity so we can’t depend on we
Pre Chorus
What is the solution
to this here complication
We needed a resolution
To end this frustration
The answer that will make it alright
Chorus
Peace must come to earth
Peace must come to earth
Peace must come to earth
Peace must come to earth
Verse 2
Every system that’s risen has fall
There’s only one great man, who's above the fall
Not because you're safe, don’t mean it's alright
Draw your cards, lay them on the floor
Your war should be against poverty and not the poor
Not because you’re safe don’t make it alright
Love brings peace
Love brings peace
Love brings peace
Love brings peace
Love brings peace
Chorus
Peace must come to earth
Peace must come to earth
Peace must come to earth
Peace must come to earth

Verse 1
How can you look and sound the same, but call yourself different
New wine in an old jar, well you asking for an accident
Think about it, foundations count
So until you rage against the machine, no one'a let you out
Cho
We all have the freedom to change the universe we live in
To overcome the resistance from any, and everything
With faith all things are possible
So why do you stand (stand up)
Verse 2
One man he pulled the trigger, the other died in his mama'a arm
How can you say I am your equal, but think my life is up for grabs
Not saying we should start a revolution, just hold your brothers hands
Having love for the man beside you, is how we truly make a stand
Bridge
Sand for justice and equality
Stand as a blessing to humanity

Verse 1
If you plant a tree in a rock, will it grow
If it’s not winter, will it snow
This may be a stupid question, but I really wanna ask
What will happen in the future if we do forget our past
Are we victims of the system that’s enslaving our minds
(or) Are we purposely discarding our purpose in this life
I hope it doesn’t come dow to this
Cho
Confusion and frustration
Incarceration and separation
Indoctrination and denomination
Elimination and annihilation
The world is ending but it ain’t so bad
All you go to do is love life and God
Love life and God
Verse 2
We are the children of the Most High God
Created with purpose that we should understand
Divine revelation so that we would know
This is just my observation, I know that there’s a better way
Cho
(No more) Confusion or frustration
(No more) Incarceration or separation
(No more) Indoctrination or denomination
(No more) Elimination or annihilation

Verse 1
The lord is my shepherd is shall not want
Beside the still waters he leadeth me
In the valley of unrighteous He’s holding my hands (oh yea)
Through death in the valley he’s there with me

His rod and His staff they comfort me (oh yea)
So I will dwell in the house of the Lord
His goodness and mercy shall follow me
All of the days of my life, all of the days of my life
Chorus
I lift my holy hands to you
God forever, you fail me never
I lift my only hands to you
You are the God of my life

The LORD is my light and my salvation

When the host of the wicked encamp against me
My foes, the unrighteous, my enemies
To see me stumble and fall at their feel
The LORD will hide me
Chorus
I lift my holy hands to you
God forever, you fail me never
I lift my only hands to you
You are the God of my life

Verse 3
Sometimes I feel lonely I forget you’re here with me
But when I call on you LORD you’re always there for me
I’ve doubted, not trusted, forget you’re all I need
But I need you LORD, that why I’m down on my knees
Hear me oh God when I call, leave nor forsake me (oh no)
Hear me oh God when I call, leave nor forsake me (oh no)
Hear me oh God when I call, leave nor forsake me (oh no)
Hear me oh God when I call, leave nor forsake me (oh no)

Talking bout that “he say, she say” and who said what

Talking bout that “he say, she say” and who said what
(Well) Let’s blame each other, we don’t want none of that (because)
Chorus
Everything is all right, once there is love
Everything is all right, once there is love
Everything is all right, once there is love
Once there is Love

Verse 1
Picture perfectly painted
The life you always wanted
Still not satisfied by it all
The spoils of life you have tasted
Living the dream but life’s wasted
As history moves on
Pre Chorus
Hey, would you listen to this truth
Of why you are here in this room?
I know you believe that God sent His Son
But do you believe you are part of His plan?
Verse 2
The light you are is burning, burning out
The faith you have is running, running out
Displaced by it all
Pre Chorus
Hey, would you listen to this truth
Of why you are here in this room?
I know you believe that God has a plan
But will you believe that that victory is won?
Cho
Your history
Your history
Your history is now

Verse 1
Don’t let the wicked man fool you
Be not submissive to their will (because)
The righteous will be righteous
And the unrighteous, unrighteous still
Have mercy on the merciless
And pity on the pitiless too
Play your part, it's just the way things are
It’s by selection and the chosen few
Pre chorus
And even though in life we often stay
Yah will help us find our way
In the book they often say
If you believe, you shall receive
Verse 2
Be not fooled by fools' philosophy
But with wisdom and understanding
Learn to walk love’s path
And let Him guide you heart
It’s the energy you carry within
This is not the only time
You will feel like life is planning a coup
(still) Play your part, it's just the way things are
It’s by selection and the chosen few
Pre chorus
And even though in life we often stay
Yah will help us find our way
In the book they often say
If you believe, you shall receive
Chorus
La la la la la, la la la la, la la laa
Pre chorus
And even though in life we often stay
Yah will help us find our way
In the book they often say
If you believe, you shall receive
The reward of Yah

Verse 1
Somebody told me I was never gonna make it through
And that I would fail at every single thing I do
But I read in the bible one day, that if I pray and believe what I say
The desire of my heart will be granted
And all I gotta do is spare a little time for prayer
Chorus
Spare a little time for prayer
Spare a little time for prayer
Spare a little time for prayer
Spare a little time for prayer
Verse 2
Somebody told me I could never do anything right
And I almost believe the, I couldn't see no end in sight
But the Spirit of God He told me, that Jesus the Son can save
And bless me and give me the victory
And all I gotta do is spare a little time for prayer
Chorus
Spare a little time for prayer
Spare a little time for prayer
Spare a little time for prayer
Spare a little time for prayer
...
Pray all day, pray all night
Don’t stop praying, don’t give up the fight

Verse 1
So many people go about their lives
Living in confusion and aiming for material prize
Talking bout the things they never had and how it makes them sad
But I give thanks for Everything, Every little thing I have

I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion
Verse 2
So much war and violence in this place
Brothers killing sisters, destruction of the human race
Politicians and figureheads telling us there’s something wrong
With teaching the children some discipline, so tomorrow they can rise from their storms
But I know that there’s a day coming
When all of my pain and suffering
Will be no more (no more)
So everybody help me sing
Cho
I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion

I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion
I Sing praise to Zion

Verse 1
I'm a dreamer walking through this land
It's hard to see the things that I believe
I see it clearer when I close my eyes
Guided by the voice of the unseen
Pre-cho
So near to everything I want
But, so far, so far from the light
The choices echo in my mind
Should I keep dreaming or kiss these dreams good bye
Cho
Dreams in my head, I walk alone
Dreams in my head, they will lead me home
Verse 2
I see perfection in the thought of these
But it never seem to understand this plight
I'm at the crossroad of waking up or sleep
Where my dreams and reality collide
Pre-chorus
So near to everything I want
But, so far, so far from the light
The choices echo in my mind
Should I keep dreaming or kiss these dreams good bye
Should I keep dreaming or kiss these dreams good bye
Cho
Dreams in my head, I walk alone
Dreams in my head, they will lead me home
Bridge
Oy ya oy ya oy ya ey ,oy ya oy ya oy ya ey
I walk alone
Oy ya oy ya oy ya ey ,oy ya oy ya oy ya ey
The will lead me home
Cho
Dreams in my head, I walk alone
Dreams in my head, they will lead me home
