Livity

What kind of world are we living in
When man ah fight for land
and colour on their skin.
Ooh ee
From the beginning
One man, one nation
Wanting everything

Trade war
Sanctions
Dictators

Time has come
Can’t take it any longer
We must unite
To make our voice much stronger
In a world
Full of contention
War is the worse
Of mans great inventions

What kind of world are we living in
When human rights and freedom
Taken as a whim
Ooh ee
Ministries full of nuff sin
They close their doors
On people suffering

Arms trade
Blood money
Hostages
I and I must free
Though I man
Come levity

Though I walk amongst the wicked
I shall always be true and righteous
I shall never give up my rights
My livity
And my freedom

Control

I DON’T WANNA GO
WHERE THEY WANT ME TO GO
AND I DON’T WANNA BE ANOTHER FACE
ON YOUR CC SHOW


YOU WANT ME TO BE
A PUPPET ON A STRING
BUT YOU’RE TO BLIND TO SEE
THE WAY I FEEL WITHIN


A FREE MAN
IS NOT THAT FREE ANYMORE
CONTROLLING FACTIONS
ARE KICKING DOWN THE DOORS


CONTROL CONTROL
CONTROL OVER ME
BEING IN CONTROL
IS MY RIGHT TO BE


TRYING TO ESCAPE
BUT THE EXITS
ARE BLOCKED
ALWAYS ON THE SYSTEM
WITH EVERYTHING
YOU GOT


I DON’T WANNA BE
CAUGHT UP IN YOUR WEB
CAUSE WHEN IT ALL BREAKS DOWN
IT WILL END IN DRED

OH YEAH


I DON’T WANNA GO
WHERE YOU WANT ME
TO GO
AND I DON’T WANNA BE
ANOTHER FACE ON YOUR
CC SHOW

As One

We only have a small amount of time
And you know that time
Don’t wait on no one
Are we to late
To rectify the wrongs
Or are we to blind
To see what’s going on


W e’ve got to try and work together
Because the future’s for us all
And if we were to work together
There be enough for one an all.


Lift up your hearts
And feel united
Open your eyes
And you will see
The glory of life is all around us
And in our children
Its destiny.

Blessed be the earth I walk on
Let we share the bounty
Of its abundant harvest.

1000000 + 1

 

I used to have them
Millions of Illusions


But with every new day
the miracle of life
diminishes a little more


And I keep looking for
Something that doesn't exist
And I keep searching
But my endless doubts persist


Illusions - a million and one :||


Illusions that I could:
make a difference
save the planet
gotta keep trying to
make this world a better palce

Illusions - a million and one :||

The reasons are
a million and one
as long as greed and consumerism
rule the world
we can try everything
but at the end of the day
will only be left with


Illusions

Blue


They come to cultivate
Imitate
Assimilate
Your brain


They come to dominate
Infiltrate
Your mind


The days all get shorter and shorter
The years all
Get shorter and shorter

The blue hue
The blue ooh ooh hue
Where is the blue star
To bring the
Blue ooh ooh hue
Where is the blue star
To bring the
Blue hue ooh ooh


Time to investigate
Eliminate
Cultivate
The truth


Time to recognise
Open your eyes
See the good
The days all get shorter and shorter
The years all
Get shorter and shorter
Oh yeah


Where is the blue star
To bring the
Blue hue ooh ooh

New Sun


Sun is shining
Over the Horizon
Lets give thanks
To a brand new morning
Sun is shining
Over the mountain
A new day dawning

were all together in dis here family
Living this life
As it was meant to be
Through all the struggle
And all of the hurts
Were tested daily
From time of our birth

Like a seed planted in the earth
It takes a little time
To know your worth
Within your roots
Yourself you will find
Inner wisdom
Respect for all time

Repeat to fade
Were goanna rise up
Were goanna make you understand
Were goanna rise up

Because the powers in our hands
