Words and music by Mike Love Forward now and back again The gentle waves caress the sand Upon the moonlit shores of you I’ll swell and break the whole night through The sweetness of your fingertips As they dance across my lips Makes me feel just like a child So innocent and free and wild Released upon an endless sea I hear your voice singing softly And as the waves crash up above I’ll wrap myself up in your love Deeper deeper still we dive Strange and beautiful visions arrive And upon every star in the sky I wish for the sun never to rise For underneath the veil of night I see you in a new and different light Visions of wisdom and truth Blossom and unfold in you And as the sun begins to rise Your endless smiles materialize And fill me with a sense of peace And set my troubled soul at ease Chorus: Please don’t take my heart and leave me feeling blue, cause I would fall apart if I lost you Please don’t take my hand and lead me so astray, cause I don’t have the heart to walk away Drifting down your velvet skin Where do I stop and you begin Upon this ship of fantasy That calmly sails the raging sea And like the rising of the tide We twist and turn and slip and slide And find our way unto the end And drift away and back again And if I find my way ashore I’ll cast away and sail once more To see your sweet and gentle face And drown myself beneath the waves Words and music by Mike Love Chorus: Youth man youth man take a look and see That they’re filling your heads with propaganda and hypocrisy Bredren, Sistren stand up for your rights And say I n I will never give up the fight No I n I a fire burning bright They come in claiming ownership of Jah Jah land Bloodletting and upsetting all the Father’s plans They come and say they’re free from sea to shining sea But they know nothing at all about I livity They’re broadcasting their frequencies through your radio Preventing and suppressing conscious vibes to flow They com and try to say that you need therapy When they’re the ones who living in a fantasy But uptown top ranking down in Babylon we’re still skanking Uptown top ranking down in Babylon we’re still skanking Cause we belong, our spirit is strong Its spreading all over the weak hearts of Babylon And in this new dawn, it won’t be long Until we’re drinking milk and honey in Mount Zion oh yeah Chorus How many more years will you waste your precious time Fixated on possessions while television destroys your mind How many more times will you work until your fingers bleed When everything you need in life is there for free I can hear my God moaning through the cracks in the pavement Saying what will be done to clean up this mess that you’ve made Its not too late, Its not too late But it will be soon if we keep consuming at this rate We need to break the trend and start again So that we can live to see the faces of our Grandchildren oh yeah Chorus Behold, for the seed of a prophet is planted in every man And I say behold, for these are the times when everyone will have to overstand That we got to respect the Earth and love one another And we got to do up Jah works and give thanks and praise to the Father Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Sons and daughters you should know to respect your Mother For a source of the Father’s Love you can’t find no greater And give all of your praises up to Jah Jah the Father The beginning without end and the Almighty Creator Jah is great Jah is great Love everything the Father create Jah is life Jah is Love Blessings rain down from above oh yeah And whosover stand against him they shall be washed away And they will have to answer on the Judgement Day For the wealthy and the wicked build upon the sinking sand Foolishly claiming ownership of Jah Jah land Chorus: All ye servants of Babylon Police, Judge, Lawyer and Congressman All who fight against the Father’s plan Shall be cut down Cut down like grass And disappear into the past Love is taking over hatred is disappearing The smoke they put up in the air will slowly be clearing Satta Massagana for Inity is nearing The flowers of Love and togetherness appearing Hold on tight to Jah Jah light take it deep within your heart Let it glow so the people know they can never tear us apart Jah live and reign in I n I heart forIver Jah Love can never never be destroyed Rally round the strength of Jah for the flood is coming And the Holy Tabernacle shall not be washed away Deep within the wilderness oh I can see them drowning But the Light of the World shall never lead I astray Sodom and Gomorrah have resurfaced in this here time And just as the Romans did they man have crossed the line Killing innocents to serve their moneymaking agendas Controlling the minds of the youth with toys and propaganda And even as they build to the sky see their foundation is crumbling And look out of the corner of your eye and you can see they man stumbling They’re squabbling and feuding fighting and backbiting one another So when they set their sights on yours you better run for cover Chorus Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Who am I to say I know how we should be living And how are we to know amidst all of this destruction The next step we should take to fulfill our holy mission Father give me a sign I offer up my body to your service A fisherman rowing my boat towards the higher purpose I give up all I have to give the Father thanks and praises So now you know why I know you know why We play this reggae music (to lift you up higher) You know you can’t abuse it (because it comes from Jah) We play the sounds to soothe and (to satisfy your soul) It’s a little bit of blues and a (little bit of rock n roll) You want to know why we’re grooving out You want to know what this is all about You want to know what we’re doing here Instead of running and hiding inna fear Chorus: It’s the fya That makes I man a Rasta I feel it in my soul I man a Rasta to the bone People I Love ya I am watching over ya So watch over me too Together we will make it through Me and you I n I We shall survive We shall stay alive Keep trodding along and your work shall be rewarded The Love that you receive shall be the gift you are accorded Within your heart of hearts shall reveal the Kingdom of Heaven So forgive seventy times seven Remember patience is the highest virtue So stand firm and never give up in all the things that you do And do the works of Jah and he will shine his face upon you Oh yes this is why I know you know why We play this reggae music (inna this Iration) I see you skanking to this (Rastaman vibration) So take this feeling with you (wherever you may go) And share it with your family now (and it will grow and grow) You want to know why we’re grooving out You want to know what this is all about You want to know what we’re doing here Instead of running and hiding inna fear Chorus We mash it in the dancehall with this rockers rhythm We keep it strictly roots and culture with spiritual living Peace and Love and Praises is all that I n I are giving A Loveful land is what we want to provide for our children We keep on chanting until all of Babylon has fallen And when we sing see the ears of the wicked man are burning We bring this message to awaken all those who are sleeping And dry the eyes and give arise to them whose hearts are weeping So this is why we’re grooving out And this is what its all about This is what were doing here Instead of running and hiding inna fear Chorus Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Chorus: Freedom got to be free So come on tell me why you’re taxing me And why I can’t grow collie weed Without the policeman hassling me And why am I so ignorant if I learned in your finest schools Only because they’re teaching ignorance to keep the population fooled So we can’t just sit upon the fence forever just playing it cool Jah people can never be free while them vultures rule Chorus And why do we have so much wealth while so many others they have none They’re starving and they’re in poor health, we’re throwing away food by the ton So it isn’t hard to tell that the Armageddon soon come But have no fear for Jah Jah has a plan for everything under the sun Why you always importing when everything we need is here It’s a crazy world we’re living in, backwards is forwards far is near We’re searching for a solution, and I know soon it will become clear But do not fear, the Exodus to the holiest Mount Zion is here Chorus Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Jah watereth the garden where the flowers grow And life everywhere depend on that alone To keep the river flowing so that life can bloom Ask and He shall provide inside of you For His Love is like an ever flowing endless stream And to enter Mt. Zion you know you got to be clean So purify your heart of hearts and I n I shall never part Cause only Jah can bring us back together as one Connect us with the Earth the Stars the Moon and the Sun So look to the skies realize what the clouds signify Jah Jah time has come Chorus: Blue skies up ahead, but Jah send I some rain instead Cause my crops have all gone dead and I man well unfed Underneath the surface life is waiting to emerge The seeds of Love and righteousness will soon converge On a desert that has been dry for ten thousand years A land of pestilence deceit concrete and fear And soon the wicked man will have no place to run For the revolution of Jah children has begun The roots will pull the skyscrapers back down into the Earth And we will celebrate the joyous rebirth Chorus When the river is dry and the temperature is high said I man don’t cry I just say a little prayer cause Jah Jah is everywhere and He hear I n I So no matter where you go all you have to do is know that He will guide you So put your heart into his hands and become part of the greater plan and He’ll see you         through And in the morning we will gather hand in hand And watch as Babylon melt into the sinking sand From the mountain we will sing a song of peace and Love Singing the glories of the Father up above For Love shall reign upon the Earth forIver more And the Kingdom of Jah Jah shall have an open door For anyone with Love for all inside their heart They shall never part Chorus Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious I see your walls are tumbling down And on your face you’re wearing a frown But you should smile I say For your night has turned to day And all your problems have been washed away Cause your perspective is ruling your vision and your livity And if you’re negative then you’re gonna perceive everything negatively Love will be hate and ugliness beauty Its all within the eyes you see Cause the fashion industry is meant to control the youths So they alienate each other never discover the truth Developing psychological iniquities in their subconscious minds To distract them from their force fed lies Chorus: Open your eyes and see the ugliness in vanity Open your eyes and see in your heart is your true beauty I see your castle is crumbling to the Earth Because you take for granted what your life is worth And your investments mean nothing now And you can’t go out and pull the plow Because nobody ever showed you how But living is easy if you’ve got the knowledge to control your mind So don’t let your ego control your actions and set you behind Remember that nothing is yours and that you should respect the Father Because everything is a gift from Jah Chorus Open your eyes and stop believing in their technological lies Open your eyes for the time has come for you to realize Open your eyes and sight up with the Father Jah RastafarI Open your eyes Because there will never be peace until propaganda and mind control cease And as long as somebody is buying they’ll always be selling their dysfunctional disease So free yourself from greed and vanity Cause mental oppression is insanity of the most highest degree So we’re fishing for soldiers inna Jah Jah army and fighting for our people to be free Cause working full time just to get by is slavery, working for their false democracy Chorus Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious In this here time we forward Rasta never backslide no we onward and upward I Would never sell my Convictions to the highest bidder I give them to the Most High Jah Jah RastafarI man praising RastafarI whether in the morning the noon or the night Living in the Most High man living in the Most High, uplifting the truth and right Chorus: Konscious vibes spreading in the yard People realize that you’ll never get too far without these Konscious vibes coming from above Only overstanding comes from Jah peace and Jah Love HalleluJah the Father has given a message unto I n I to deliver Love your brothers and sisters And let all of their misguided messages and teachings wither up Cause all you need is Love unconditional Love to sight up with the Father above So if you’ve Love to give then wake up man and live cause we are only of one blood Chorus Over are the days of brainwashing, these are the days of truth Too long they’ve been educating, manipulating the youth So free from their slavery system, break free from their mental chains For it is you that make your own prison, so only you can break the cage So if you are a slave to the system, don’t you waste another day Get out and do what makes you happy, stop running away I don’t want to force you to believe anything that you might find to be untrue I just ask you to look through My eyes into my heart and you will see the truth of the Most High Jah Jah RastafarI man praising RastafarI whether in the morning the noon or the night Living in the Most High man living in the Most High, uplifting the truth and right Chorus Open your eyes to a new light, a new dawn of peace and Love The power of Jah Jah is arising, down below and so high up above The Zion train no carry no backsliders, so make sure that your word is true Cause you know that you had better be ready to answer yeah When the Most High Jah calls upon you So if you are a slave to the system, don’t you waste another day Get out and do what makes you happy, stop running away Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Jah Woman you are the Goddess I have been searching for It is only you that I man adore I man a de ocean you are the shore Oh Jah Woman I feel you in my soul and within my heart Even when we are a thousand oceans apart I feel you Girl you’re looking so lovely Won’t you come and lie by me Cause you know that we’ve got work to do To make one out of two The sun is shining up above I’m resting in the shade of your Love Your touch is just like a cool breeze Setting my troubled soul at ease On this summer holiday We cast our troubles away I man feeling so Irie Got nothing to do today But spend my time here with you Underneath a sky so blue I’ll open up my heart And promise never to part Tomorrow you will be gone Sailing into the horizon But right now it seems so far away For you are here with me today So I know we must make the best Of this time with which we have been blessed For the stars can’t tell us how or when We will be together again I Love you I Love you always thinking of you Morning noon or night I will be dreaming of you October November December Forever and ever I’ll always remember you The raindrops start to fall as the sun begins to rise I hold your body close as we make our final goodbyes There is no one or nothing that can fill the space or the place that your body has left         behind And as a true image of grace you shall always remain in my mind As I watch you walk away I just can’t find the words to say What your presence has meant to me You’ve opened up my eyes and now I can see The true beauty of Jah Woman The Mother of all Creation Revealed unto I heart and soul You fill I up and make I whole On this summer holiday We cast our troubles away I man feeling so Irie Got nothing to do today But spend my time here with you Underneath a sky so blue I’ll open up my heart And promise never to part Jah Woman you are the Goddess I have been searching for It is only you that I man adore I man a de ocean you are the shore Oh Jah Woman I feel you in my soul and within my heart Even when we are a thousand oceans apart I feel you Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious I dreamt last night that the end had come I was searching everywhere for food but there was none Bodies lying burned in the midday sun Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run I went to the city but the city was gone Radiated with hatred and destroyed by a bomb Behold the brilliant colors of the nuclear dawn But there is no song, all has gone wrong And when I awoke I could clearly see The seeds of this vision Jah had given me Planted deep within these aristocracies Hypocrisy, power and greed So wake up to the fact that they’re controlling you Whether or not you’re doing what you want to do The system that you’re living in is doomed Jah knows it’s true, you know it’s true And I’m just telling you this because I Love you bredren Through and through I man true until the very end The sweeter the kiss, the stronger the poison And this is the reason that I Idrens are dying for nothing Chorus: Babylon control, Hollywood mind control They target the youth, I’ll show you the proof, come and see the truth It’s written on I man soul Newsmedia control, political mind control Get under your skin, start wearing you thin But do not give in for not all that glitters is gold And in my vision I saw incurable disease Genetically engineered by hateful enemies All of this in the name of power and money How could this be the future for we The green and mighty forests of the Amazon The lush valleys of Hawaii all dead and gone The once abundant and fertile land of Babylon Now sand and stone, stripped to the bone Quickly, they’re taking away our paradise Separating us from the source of all life Poisoning the seas and polluting the skies Ignoring the cries and promoting the lies So now that this vision has come into your life I hope that you will take up your part in the fight Against those who seek to turn our day into night You know its right, stand up and fight And I’m just telling you this because I Love you my sistren Through and through I man true until the very end The sweeter the kiss, the stronger the poison And this is the reason that I Idrens are dying for nothing Chorus Because I have been fooled before But now I n I know The difference between believing in what I man feel and believing in what I’ve been told Cause their propaganda it burns like wildfire They use it to turn brother against brother Babylon control, Hollywood mind control They target the youth, I’ll show you the proof, come and see the truth It’s written on I man soul Newsmedia control, political mind control Get under your skin, start wearing you thin But no be victim in this empire of glittering fool’s gold The Promised Land Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Chorus: Behold the Promised Land Within the living man Heaven is in your hearts Love is within your hands Behold the Lamb of Peace Within the Lion’s teeth But he shall not be devoured Fulfilling prophesy Jah say the sun shall not smite I by day and not the moon by night And all His glories revealed unto I if I Rastaman live upright Oh all the creatures of the Earth shall be held as sacred within I sight For they are the infinite shades of balance between darkness and light They’re fighting for survival To escape xenocide They only have one rival Mankind So as long as I n I inhabit the Earth we shall fight to be Living examples of Jah Love and natural harmony Soldiers of the Most High planting the seeds of peace Look inward and see Chorus Oh in this time it seems we always fighting against confusion So much propaganda its hard to tell the truth from illusion But look in your heart and you will always find the solution Jah Love will never lead you in the wrong direction All shall be revealed in time So fear not for the sufferer Jah will open all their eyes So hush my people don’t you cry What can be gained from living your life as a murderer Sustained by the blood of the innocent victims of vampire Paranoia and shame shall follow you far beyond this region And the blood stains on your soul shall remain through all dimension They’re fighting world and tribal Wars to establish sides This way is suicidal Mankind Behold the Promised Land Within the living man Heaven is in your hearts Love is within your hands Behold the Lamb of Peace Within the Lion’s teeth But he shall not be devoured Fulfilling prophesy Queen of Light Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious So much pain and so very much strife For nothing in my life, oh why So many many lessons I n I have learned So many times been burned, branded for life How many times has Love come and gone And made me weak or strong, for how long How many years have I n I been wandering Without a song to sing Oh I need to see the petals of her flower blossoming Experience the spring in her eyes See the dewdrops forming deep within her soul Experience the glow of her sunrise Chorus: Oh Lord when will I Kingman find A Queen of your blessed and Iternal design To make my life on this Earth whole Discover the darkest secrets burning in I man soul Oh Father when will I Empress come unto Thee For only if she Love You could she truly Love me By the principles of truth and Love she shall abide And stay forever in my heart and at I man side Oh Jah guide my Queen of light unto I n I Oh Jah guide my Queen of light unto I n I n I n I Every time I think that I have found a friend Who’ll be there ‘til the end of time I let her penetrate deep inside of my heart Just to be torn apart, Love is so blind But I will never take for granted Jah Woman She is the moon and sun in my skies And I have faith that Jah will lead us to a place Where we two can embrace without the lies And we shall become one in Love Love shall guide us to Zion above Oh Jah Love is my Love to give And Jah Woman, without you I can’t truly live So stay always in my heart Don’t ever part Chorus Shitstem Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Brothers and sisters can’t you see That you and I have got to become we Cause they’re using everything that they can find Race, religion, occupation keep us divided Stop us from finding collective consciousness Keep our minds occupied with fear and stress So clever how they always make two sides out of one So that the sheep never seek out a third option They’re manipulating us for their cash flow And how they love to see the population grow Just more statistics for they man to calculate So they can rape our Mother Earth at a faster rate So run from the criminals and lock up your homes Or steal from the wealthy and get locked up in a hole Either way you’re doing a big favor for them Feeding the shitstem Chorus: What will it take for you to open your eyes How many more innocent people will have to die And how could an entire nation be so blind They’re murdering our bredren and our sistren We’ve got to unite Tonight tonight tonight Stand up and fight Tonight, no we can’t wait Because tomorrow will be too late Follow me and I can lead you to a place Where you will see there’s no difference between our races For we all originate from the Motherland We are all one people you must overstand And now that we know that they are controlling we We have got to find out how to become free We can start by living more and buying less Meditating and alleviating stress Working less and less for things that we don’t need Spending more time on Love and creativity Forwarding our knowledge of the ancient days When our ancestors used to live in a peaceful way Living in harmony, naturality, and livity Unchained and free Without tricknology, industrial economy Oh why can’t we Leave this behind and start a new plan to sustain our land I know that we can If we unite in this here fight against the wicked man We shall win for the sword of truth is in our hands Chorus Oh lead the way, oh lead the way Come forth all prophets of this modern day Find the truth, expose the light So that everyone can see the wrong from right Oh lead them out of the wilderness Show them the beauty with which Jah bless Find the Throne expose the heart So this revolution can start So run from the criminals and lock up your homes Or steal from the wealthy and get locked up in a hole Either way you’re doing a big favor for them Feeding the shitstem

                                                                                                                                   Lyrics by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Chorus: Ras Tafar I The King of Kings and Lord of Lords Selassie I The Conquering Lion of Judah Ras Tafar I Elect of the Most High God Selassie I The enemies of righteousness stand powerless In the face of the forces of truth, light and Love Afraid to face the day, so easily washed away By the rivers of rain flowing from up above So like a tree planted by the rivers of water I Idrens they shall stand firm With thick brown roots and bright green shoots and ripe red fruits I man will learn, knowledge return Oh rally Rally round the red for the blood of our people Oh rally Rally round the gold for the fire of our Father Jah Jah Oh rally Rally round the green for the Earth our Mother Oh rally Rally round the Ites, the Gold and the Green For the prophecy was written for this time in which we’re living And the truth it shall remain to be seen, revealed by… Chorus Lead us through another day, so we kneel and pray For patience wisdom and overstanding The Most Highest thanks we give for this life we live For we know that every moment is a blessing And to inhabit the Earth could never be a curse But they’re leaning upon their tricknology To milk the Earth for what she’s worth ‘til the new birth When you will see, that we’re not free Oh rise Rise up in the morning, Jah freedom is dawning Oh rise Rise up in your heart and give light to these darkened skies, arise Cause how many more times will you capsize When you come face to face with their lies You can’t live forever in disguise with the veil drawn over your eyes Forever in darkness, never fearless Do anything the downpressor man says A pawn of Babylon, but in this time you got to be strong, Lion You are child of the Most High, born of the Earth and Sky Take up your power and rise Jah Rastaman Warrior man Child of Zion Jah Kingdom come Oh I am a Rastaman I n I living always positive They tried to teach me to be business man But that’s no way to live Cause working only for money could Never bring a man happiness I n I work for the Most High Jah No 9 to5 rat race for Aya, no stress Because I am a Rastaman Natty dreadlocks flying through the air They say I am disgrace to the human race But I don’t care Because I am a Rastaman They cast their judgments down upon me But they’ll never know what I man know I’ll never be part of their puppet show, man free Jah say the Lion shall come and every chain shall be broken And we shall live it up, live it up, live it up right Aya And every man, woman and child shall behold as the gate is flung open Zion I open wide, a paradise for I n I n I Kreeper                                                                             Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Fast asleep you’re dreaming of your future bright They crawl in through your window in the dark of night Planting propaganda filling your mind with fright To keep you from discovering the light Their mind control runs rampant on your radio I see it in every television show They think their corporate empire can just grow and grow So I’m letting all of my people know Chorus: That I man will stand up and fight Join me, Jah people unite Turn the darkness back into the light Leave the wrong and know the right And have no fear for Jah is beside you Fear not for the Father He will guide you In the valley of the shadow He’ll find you and light your passage through Oh Lord I true Mystery Babylon is a murderer They brainwash the youths to be thief and liar Following in the ranks of mystery Lucifer Fire gonna burn on ya So watch out my children for them backbiter They’re feeding on the blood of the sufferer Their money and all of their power will make they man backsliders They turn their backs on the Most High Jah Chorus So awake from your sleep and your slumber Cause soon they’re gonna call upon your number And you don’t wan’t to let them drag you under No you rain down with brimstone and lightning and thunder For Jah is the Almighty Protector The Living God and the Earth’s Rightful Ruler So you know that we Lions are conquering to conquer All the vampire But I man will stand up and fight Join me, Jah people unite Turn the darkness back into the light Leave the wrong and know the right Shadows in the garden Whispers in your heart Spirits on the pathway Visions in the dark Fear and disillusion Is where confusion starts Deception and the serpent Are never far apart Beyond the Walls of the City Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Come with me oh come with me and we shall go From this land of sinking sand to where the flowers grow Cause in this place the human race could never ever be free We are the pawns of Babylon open your eyes and see That we have got to find a way To bring an end to the destruction of Earth and put a stop to these political games they         play Cause I can’t take no more I n I could never overstand what they all were fighting for So I man just close the door Chorus: Oh Father to the hills I man must go Inna the mountains I man will make my home Cause I know we can live in harmony Beyond the walls of the city Oh Idrens follow me to Zion land Come to the valley and you will overstand How we can live it up so wild and free Beyond the walls of the city Broken dreams Shattered by tomorrows That become yesterdays in Babylon So much wasted time Spent drowning in our sorrows But this is real life So we can’t stay No we got to sail away Come with me oh come with me the exodus is here We can’t stay any longer the signs are becoming clear From pollution in the air we breathe and poison in our seas To population overcrowding, famine and disease Awake, awake now Jah people Alight, this time is so crucial Arise, to a new height of living Unite, and all shall be forgiven now Chorus Many will die Many more will have to suffer I man don’t know how or why or when But some will trod on To the heights of Mount Zion Let me be with them Cause I can’t stay No I got to sail away Oh I man see now is the time To rearrange and redesign The way we live to heal the Earth Got to prepare for our children’s birth If we unite it’s not too late To open wide Mount Zion gate Though now we stand in the dark of night We must forward on towards the light Tear down the walls, rip up the roads Free up the Earth so the trees can grow No ownership of Jah Jah land Return the fields to our Father’s hands So deep within our Mother’s breast Planting the seeds He knows will be best To nurture and return to one All creatures of His creation Oh can you hear the trumpets call Didn’t you see the twin sisters fall Third war of the worlds has now begun Oh Mother Nature is on the run But we must stand firm before it is done The hour is at hand, our true test has come Stand up for all that is good and right Jah army arise, Jah people unite Oh I man see now is the time To rearrange and redesign The way we live to heal the Earth Got to prepare for our children’s birth If we unite it’s not too late To open wide Mount Zion gate Though now we stand in the dark of night We must forward on towards the light The Stone Words by Mike Love music by Dubkonscious Sing a song of joyful happiness for Jah Jah bless us with life Jah is the air we breathe the blood we bleed the plant the seed the day and the night It seems that everywhere people forgetting that they’re stepping on sacred land They never take the time to clear their mind and find a way to lend a hand So the battle will be hotter But we’re not running away Cause its so easy in this crucial hour To go astray So we got this uncommon sense as our defense against the common man Cause if you believe what’s in the news you’re bound to lose when will the people         overstand Vanity, humanity could never be the way to happiness To live upright within Jah sight you got to light it up and lead the rest Chorus: So we are the stone The head cornerstone That the builder refused So we’re chanting and we’re chanting and we’re chanting over Babylon And we will keep on chanting until all of Babylon is a gwaan And trod on to Zion The truth is an offense but not a sin so don’t give in to their lies Take control over your soul cause that is something they could never buy We’ve only got one life to live so don’t you give away the freedom you have Cause they will use you and abuse you turn around and stab you in the back Chorus So the fire is burning brighter than ever it has before So if you’re searching and you are ready Jah will open the door And show you this uncommon sense that is offensive to the common man Because we know things are not right so we go fight to reunite all human Cause unity shall set we free I know you’ll see the possibilities Cause its endless the way Jah bless open your heart and see Chorus Overstand Words and music by Mike Love Funny how we always seem to find, that nobody ever has the time To sit and find a solution, they just want to talk about the crime Some of them say they wan get together, but I see them further than ever Spreading Babylon the whole world over, but I man still love them forever So I spread my wings for all eyes to see, and sing these words as a call to thee No good can come from negativity, so we come with positivity Chorus: Onward, upward, never shall we go backward, Jah lead us forward Through the darkness he lead us from the wilderness, in time of distress No backsliders, never shall they divide us, this is our exodus So kingdumb, stardumb, freedumb, we not dumb, Babylon we no want none We want to be bushman, living off of Jah Jah land Follow the creation plan, eating from the Father’s hand Because we Overstand Funny is not a good word to describe, the state of most civilian minds Zombie would be a better term, them walking around thinking everything is fine So now we know what our mission is to be, to set all the mental prisoners free Awaken them from their slumber, give them our eyes so that they can see The beauty that we all possess, and the wisdom of  righteousness Jah Jah love is limitless, so the Rastaman got to press Chorus We want to be free man, unchained by the Babylonian With a pure heart and a clean hand, chanting down the wicked man Because we Overstand Unity is what we need, so Father I pray unto thee Make me a fisherman, rowing to Zion land We’re bringing Heaven back to Earth, to show them what their life is worth Oh make me a fisherman, Idrens come take my hand Chorus
