What we have in our hearts is love and happiness
Can’t tear us apart we know our identity
Don’t put the cart before the horse, sing Thy praise among the peoples
As it was at the start, sing Thy songs among the nations

JAH we give glory
And when the children laugh I tell you you can hear dem say

Tears that never stop, night and day, night and day
And if I should cry, to you I’ll cry alone
Fear not these days, let love light your way

Attention please—this is a public service health announcement.

Racism is a killa x3

Hard to detect in early stages until the symptoms are seen
The only way to get rid of it inject equality
Who feel it know it the experience is real
Oh some people have got that hateful disease

Their heart is rejected their mind is infected
And if you think you coming down with it see the good doctor please
Relieve the tension the antidote is free
Clinically proven the only remedy

Humanization let’s all get humanized
When we protect each other no virus can survive
The doctor’s diagnosis everything’s gonna be alright
There’s still some infections but the numbers on our side
You know we got the medicine side effect will make you feel high
And we keep on getting up on it cause love keep us alive

So we’re slowing the spread of the hateful disease
And there is no question JAH ( MY ) science is real

INTERLUDE

Peace is the way to life, tell me who will survive
Peace is the way to life, tell me will you survive, oh yeah
No you can’t rewrite history but you can make things right, oh yeah
We just gonna get together and have a good time
Until the dawn’s early light
Everybody now

Racism we gon’ beat you
Racism we gon’ beat you 
Racism is a Killa
Racism we defeat you
Racism we gon’ beat you

Say people now, Are you ready now
Are you ready now, To get together now 
Hey people now, Are you ready now
Are you ready now, To get together now

But first there’s just one thing we got to do, we got to do
You can set yourself free
You can set yourself free
You can set yourself free 

Say people now, Get your satisfaction now
Get into the action now, Got a special attraction now
Hey people now, Get your satisfaction now
Get into the action now, Got a special attraction now 

We in a struggle, girl you looking like good trouble
I won’t be M.I.A., don’t wanna be no P.O.W.
Listen to me baby

You can set yourself free
You can set yourself free
You can set yourself free 

And I feel like, I feel like I been here before
And I keep on knocking on the same old door
Waiting for a answer that baby I wanna know

And I feel, and I feel, like I been here before
And I keep on knocking on the same old door
Waiting for a answer that baby I got to know

INTERLUDE

Don’t get lost in the maze,
Sunshine wash away my haze

You got to take it slow,
You can’t get too low

Do not disturb is on the door,
Out to lunch is on my window


Why let the world trouble me x3

Turn the screws
Light the fuse
Telling you things aren’t so bad

Don’t matter the times,
Be defiance

Don’t let society control your mind
She said it’s alright,
We can party all night

We live to fight again tomorrow

Come on
Why let the world trouble me x3

One day I was feeling shitty,
Seen a world without pity
And then JAH music turn me on
Tell me what’s wrong,
Everything that’s going on
I’ll bring some joy for the sorrow

Change up the mood and pace
Let’s rise above the hate
Vibrate at higher rates

Come on
Why let the world trouble me x3

Don’t get lost in the maze,
Sunlight wash away my haze
I got to take it slow, I can’t get too low
Do not disturb is on my door,
Out to lunch is on my window

Why let the world trouble me x7

Many mourn for Bob
So, he was young with no regret
The race was hard and he did his best
When your whole world let’s you down
Where will you turn
A ship tossed and battered by the angry sea

He was more than good friend
He was more than heaven sent
Say the good Lord blessed his soul
Reminisce on the days of old
The tide of time keeps raging on
You lose the battle just to win the war

Many mourn for Bob
When it’s time to have some fun
You find the tears run on down through your face
May eleventh came and the children said
Where will we turn
The stars are getting closer
Nine miles away

And it’s more than a memory
Yea, it’s more than words can say
You live the life you love
The light in the lamp keeps turning on
You lose the battle just to win the war

So where will we turn
Many mourn for Bob
So, he was young with no regret
Many mourn for Bob
The race was hard and he did his best

How many times will the sun shine
Before you call me sweet divine
You make my mind say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find
How many times will the sun shine
Before you call me sweet divine
You make my heart say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find

When the boat come in like it’ll overturn
And the silence of my fate it burns
Oh, emotion won’t let me walk alone
I said I don’t know not to care

How many times will the sun shine
Before you call me sweet divine

You make my mind say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find

How many times will the sun shine
Before you call me sweet divine

You make my heart say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find

I seek my comfort in a song
I’ll cry later when the pain is gone
In remembrance of that life goes on
I never learn how not to love

BRIDGE 

Nevertheless how can I be prepared
For the things in life that can’t be repaired
As every minute is like a hour
And everyday is like no other

Well, there’s not much words can do or say
When you’re not right here next to me
Things will never be the same anyway
Oh, I never learn how not to pray yeah

INSTRUMENTAL

How many times will the sun shine before you call me sweet divine
You make my mind say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find

How many times will the sun shine
Before you call me sweet divine

You make my heart say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find
How many times will the sun shine
Before you call me sweet divine

You make my mind say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find

How many times will the sun shine
Before you call me sweet divine

You make my heart say a thousand words
That my lips just cannot find

Let’s spend some time in the sun,
Giving our love so strong
Don’t miss this ride,
Make it to paradise
There is no need to be cold
Oh yeah, the heart can be bold
Open your mind and acclimate to JAH vibe

INTERLUDE

Let’s spend some time in the sun,
Feeling good emotions
Don’t miss the flight,
Make it to paradise

And if you’re use to the dark
Oh babe the light can be harsh
Open your eyes and acclimate to JAH sight

You know the wind blows Inna different directions
But that will never change my destination
It’s clear to see the path to take
Where I’m going you are also welcome

Together we will come
Make it to paradise, Make it paradise x2

Let’s spend some time in the sun,
Giving our love so strong
Don’t miss this ride,
Make it to paradise
There is no need to be cold
Oh yeah, the heart can be bold
Open your mind
And acclimate to JAH vibe

Some may say I’m an optimist,
Some may say I’m foolish
Some may say I’m unrealistic,
Some may say I’m naive
Some may say how do you do it,
And some may say take me to it

I’m living on the bright side
I’m living on the bright side
I’m living my own lifestyle
I’m living on the bright side

Now I’ve been told I dream
Too much by putting my head in the clouds
I’ve been told I’m going wrong
Trying to be a better man
And some may say why go through it,
And some may say I knew it

I’m living on the bright side
I’m looking on the bright side
I’m living my own lifestyle
I’m living on the bright side 

Some may try to bring you down
By saying you’re too high
But your silver lining and blue-sky morning
Misery likes a crowd
Some may say it’s too dangerous,
And some may say show me how

You’re living on the bright side
You’re living on the bright side 

When you get that feeling, give yourself a chance
Like everything under the sun
There’s always a reason for life to go on
For life to go on,
For life to go on,
For life to go on and on and on and on

We’re living on the bright side
We’re living our lifestyle
We’re living on the bright side
I’m looking on the bright side
I’m looking on the bright side
I’m living my lifestyle
I’m living my lifestyle
Living on the Brightside
