Know Your Past

(album: More Teachings... - 2001)

What does it profit a man to gain the world
And loose his soul?
If you don't know where you're coming from
You don't know where you're heading past
Present and future

Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes
Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes

History can recall, it can recall
The true essence of ourselves which we have lost
Trying so hard to attain for the future
We have let go what has kept us since creation
But through the Divine powerhouse of life
We'll know past, present and future

Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes
Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes

So many of us have gone astray
Chasing dreams which only fade away
Ignoring the blood, sweat and tears of our forefathers
Breaks the connection to our ancestors
We must all have true awareness of self
[?]

Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes
Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yeah
...

Stand firm, stand firm, stand firm...
