These city walls
Are like a prison
Why we gotta keep on living
With our backs against the wall

We are creatures of love
Victims of hate
We gotta keep on living
With our backs against the wall

No, no, no
Start living on a higher vibration
Now we take it to the heights of creation

Perfection of divinity
Is everyone’s duty
Don’t waste your time
Living for the vanities

We are creatures of faith
Victims of destiny
Which we create

Now we living on a higher vibration
‘Cause we take it to the heights of creation

You know what I’m talking ’bout
Don’t tell me, no
Baby I could scream and shout
But I won’t

It’s a human experience
On another sphere
Well, it’s a human existence
On another wavelength

Listen to me now
Now, we living on a higher vibration
Then we take it to the heights of creation

Let me take you little higher
And then you take me little higher

I need I need a revolution.
My own revolution
My very own revolution
I need, I need a revolution

Heartbreak is so hard to take
And I lay down in the bed that I make
Crying, crying, tears of change
Fighting, Fighting, everyday.
There must be a better way

I need, I need a revolution
My own revolution
My personal revolution
Baby I need, I need
A revolution, my own revolution
My personal revolution

Is this democracy?
There is no voice for me
In your philosophy
Tainted theology
Oh can you save me (who can save me)
Who can save me?

Who got the say, I do (yeah)
Who got the play, I do
I will find a way
Who gotta power, I do (yeah)

Who got the play, I do
I will find a way

Cause heartbreak is so hard to take
And then I lay down in the bed that I make
Crying, crying, tears of change
I’m Fighting, Fighting, everyday
I know there must be a better way

So I need, I need a revolution
My own revolution
My personal revolution
Babe I need, I need a revolution

[Chorus:] Welcome to the world I cant promise it’s a good place
Welcome to the world I cant promise it’s a cool place

I could tell you stories I tell you the truth
I could sugar coat it try to make you the fool
And soon you’ll see anyway that this is life
And soon you’ll see anyway that you got to fight

[Chorus]

I could give you roses for you to make your bed
But this bed of roses is only in your head
Cause every rose has its thorn
And every ego has its wants

I don’t know when innocence is lost
And I don’t know when you pay the cost
Well if your back is against the wall
You’ve got to stand for who you are

[Chorus]

People are suffering children have no food
Keep your eyes wide open check the golden rule
The love inside will make you cry
The fight inside will make you try

[Chorus]

On the beach in Hawaii

I wish you were here with me, walking on the beach in Hawaii
playing on the golden sand, looking at the ocean now I understand
love is like the open sea, and I wish you were here with me
on the beach in Hawaii

Since you’ve been gone away, I think about you everyday
don’t you know I miss you much, and you know I need your touch
I’m on a rocky cliff, oh I wish you were hear with me
on the beach in Hawaii

A little pakalolo, and I say mahalo
ujjayi breathing, to get a real feeling
yogi gonna let you know
that I wish you were here with me
on the beach in Hawaii
in Hawaii

Yea reggae in my head , reggae in my head, reggae in my head

Sitting by the river listening to her songs
she played it all night long
She brought me from defeat hypnotized by the beat
on the rocks I made my bed
she played reggae in my head

reggae in my head , reggae in my head, reggae in my head

cities of oppression there is no imagination oh to be wild and free again
a world without dreams is lost it seems
in the prison of known realities so I say

I got reggae in my head , reggae in my head, I put reggae in my head

Oh what a wonderful world this could be only if we live in peace
Dancing to this vibration this is my emotion

Sitting by the river listening to her songs
she played it all night long
She brought me from defeat hypnotized by the beat
on the rocks I made my bed
she played reggae in my head

reggae in my head , reggae in my head, reggae in my head

I got reggae in my head , reggae in my head, I want reggae in my head

I got reggae in my head, I need reggae in my head, reggae in my head

Everyday is just a day
To sing your praises
Everyday is just a day
To give you glory

So while the faithless fret
When destruction comes

Let Jah will be done
Just like the morning sun

Stop your war and stop your cruelness
This yah judgement a go really dread
And the wicked think them get away
But where they gonna run

Let Jah will be done
Just like the morning sun

And I’m thinking of love
For all Jah children
He created us
And all who don’t hear the crying of the poor
Where them gonna run

Let Jah will be done
Just like the morning sun

Everyday is just a day
To sing your praises
Everyday is just a day
To give you glory

So while those faithless fret
When destruction come
Where they gonna run

Let Jah will be done, just like morning sun
Just like the evening sun
Just like the morning sun
Just like the evening sun

Changes, changes, yeah
For ordinary people now
Changes, changes, yes
For ordinary people now

 

There’s so much beauty in every breath that we take
Oh, won’t you tell me, can you relate?
Needs of the many, the wants of the few
We can find religion in the freedom we choose

There’s so much hurt all over the place
Oh, can’t you tell by the look on my face?
And there’s one thing that I must convey

Changes, changes, yeah
For ordinary people now, yeah
Changes, changes, yeah
For ordinary people now

I just can’t help the way that I feel
We all want our dreams to be real
Yet circumstances that I just can’t understand
Why does money got to make the man?

Everyone has an ego to feed
And every want is filled with greed
So here’s one thing that I’ve got to say

Changes, changes, yeah, yeah
For ordinary people now
Yeah, changes, changes
For ordinary people now, y’all

Change for the better and not for the worse
Let’s stand together and break our curses
We look off in the distance chasing dreams
But the things that I see with my eye’s obscene

Let’s plant a new tree, make a change
Need it for you and me, brighter days
Will come and you’ll see, make the change
Necessary for ordinary people

There’s so much beauty in every breath that we take
Oh, tell me, can you relate?
Needs of the many and the wants of the few
You can find religion in the freedom you choose

There’s so much hurt all over the place
And I can tell by the look on your face
And there’s one thing that we’ve got to say

Changes, changes
(Danny man say, brighten up your day and never feel no weight)
For ordinary people now

(Hear what we say, hear what we say)
Changes, changes
(Brighten up your day and don’t feel no weight)
For ordinary people now

(Do you hear what we say? Do you hear what we say?)
Changes, changes
(Brighten up your day and don’t feel no weight)
For ordinary people now

(Can you hear what we say? Hear what we say)
Changes, changes
(Brighten up your day, ain’t gonna feel no pain)
For ordinary people now

Life has come a long way since yesterday I say
And its not the same old thing over again I say
Just do what you feel and don’t you fool yourself I say
Cause I can’t make you happy unless I am I say I say I

Got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

Day in day out I’ve asked many questions I say
Only to find the truth it never changes I say
If you don’t deal with it it keeps killing you a little by little I say
Call me selfish if you will my life I alone can live I say I say I

Got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

I don’t care if it hurts I’m tired of lies and all these games
I’ve reached a point in life no longer can I be this way
Don’t come crying to me I too have shed my share of tears
I’m moving on yes I’m grooving on well I’m finally free I’ve

Got to be true to myself got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

A fire burns for freedom
A fire burns for freedom
The smell of decent is I
I am standing for the truth
Too long has been denied
The data of changing is rising
I hope we realize

Unchained wings let angels fly

[Chorus:]

I see hemp fields forever
Growing wild and free
I see marijuana trees blowing in our breeze
I see hemp fields forever growing wild and free
Wild and free

A crime against nations

A war is waged there is a message
In the wind for every race
Peace and love we saw
So let us grow is good for the body
Is good for the soul

[Chorus]

So lost the kiss of death
Deny the tree of life
Stand hypocrisy for so many lies
Corporation greed can only see small farmers survive by planting weed

[Chorus] [Chorus]

Crucified savior to save your face
Demonized nature our saving grace
We got to put to good use
What the lord has gave
Fruits of the tree herbs of the fields
[Chorus]
