The Sound

(álbum: Mitakuye Oyasin Oyasin / All My Relations - 1996)

God gave us sound – we make the music – it helps the world go round
Up come the sun – it makes the flowers – and the birds happy all day long
Out come the rain – it keep the forest 'round the world big and strong
Up come the wind from the gulf of Mexico – that blows a storm so strong
It bring the people a wake-up message – with a blessed tone
So teach our children a happy new song – teach them loud and clear

Oh, at the end of all darkness oh there shall be light
Oh, daylight will come no matter how long the night

Jah gave us voices to spread the sounds of happiness and joy
We sing for the children of every nation – for every girl and boy
Love is the answer – we all should pray – it'll help the world go 'round
'Cause when we pray the prayers go up – and blessings come down
Oh, can't you hear us? Why can't we all live in perfect harmony?
When we learn to live as brothers, all the people of the world will be free

Oh, at the end of all darkness, oh, there shall be light
Oh, daylight will come no matter how long the night
