Together

(专辑： Together - 2022)

How many times have I said the words
I'm going to start tomorrow
Something always gets in the way
So I put it off put it off
But if a change is gonna come
It's got to come from within me first
To weather the worst
To feel it, to know it, to live it, to breathe it, to teach it
Cause that's the thing about mankind
Always blaming one another
Afraid to face reality
So we put it off put it off
We got to take responsibility
There's got to be accountability
The repercussions of our over consumption
Will be the burden we lay on our children

It's gonna take a lot of work now
To repair all the damage we've done
It's going to take a whole lot of work now
But if we all come together as one
We're going to make it
I know we're gonna make it Jah
We're gonna make it
Together

I think about the ancients and sit in meditation
Innervision to receive higher instruction
I think about the youth, think about the truth
Breathe life into the flame that we pass through generations
Cause how can we speak of being free when everything has such a cost
And down on Wall Street the winning is so sweet
But the poor pay the Bitter cost
I sit in meditation, raise up my vibration
A manifestation of a higher Love
I think about the future my great, great, great grandchildren
Build my foundation on Love
But what are words, meaningless, unheard
Vacant as a hollow heart
Empty promises, twisted politics, societies torn apart

It's gonna take a lot of work now
To repair all the damage we've done
It's going to take a whole lot of work now
But if we all come together as one
We're going to make it
I know we're gonna make it Jah
We're gonna make it
Together

We're living in a crucial time, tipping point
The oceans are rising, the ice caps are melting
Forests disappearing, species vanishing
There's poison in the water and toxic chemicals in the air
But a hundred years from now who will be remembered
The ones who were to blame, or the ones who fixed it
Like Bob said "for every action there is a reaction"
So in every choice you make, think of the children

It's gonna take a lot of work now
To repair all the damage we've done
It's going to take a whole lot of work now
But if we all come together as one
We're going to make it
I know we're gonna make it Jah
We're gonna make it
Together
