Better Than You Know
06:48
|
|||
something changed, you’re acting different
what a shame, why you so distant
you used be so full of life
when did you let their words destroy you
let their judgements all define you
keep you down when you’re meant to rise
i know you got your heart torn open
questioning the strength you got inside
if only you could see how brightly you shine
you’re doing better than you know
there’s so much light inside your soul
you might feel broken, don’t lose hope
don’t be so hard on yourself
at times we all need some help
you’re doing better than you know
you’re doing better than you know
better than you know
better than you know
i know you’ve been feeling low
don’t gotta face this on your own
i am here by your side, i ain't leaving you alone
there’ll always be a brighter day
i know that you will be ok
you’ve got the strength and you will find your way
i know you got your heart torn open
questioning the strength you got inside
if only you could see how brightly you shine
you’re doing better than you know
there’s so much light inside your soul
you might feel broken, don’t lose hope
don’t be so hard on yourself
at times we all need some help
you’re doing better than you know
cuz you’ve got so much to do
you can’t let them ruin you
it’s easy to give up, but just keep fighting
it gets better i promise you
i’ve been there and i got through
and looking back i’m thankful for it all
you’re doing better than you know
there’s so much light inside your soul
you might feel broken, don’t lose hope
don’t be so hard on yourself
at times we all need some help
you’re doing better than you know

What A Day
03:55
|
|||
what a day what a day now
what a day when there is no war
when we finally wake up and question what we’re fighting for
let’s cut the chains of hate, let’s relate
allow ourselves to love more
peace cannot be a goal we seek
we must realize this dream of peace through non-violent means
embody ethics of love in our lives
allowing all to be free
i feel so emotional
when will we rise with the light
i know love is possible
where there is love, there is life
use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand
use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand
oppressing others will not bring freedom
attacking someone don’t make you a leader
all i know is
i got hope for the future
it’s up to use to be the change we seek
we have the right, let’s live free
zion is a state of mind
iration comes from i, seen
use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand
an eye for an eye, make the world go blind
won’t accept these are end of times
wake up, be aware, show others we care
we are one humankind
what a day when there is no war
when we finally wake up and question what we’re fighting for
let’s cut the chains of hate, let’s relate
allow ourselves to love more
peace cannot be a goal we seek
we must realize this dream of peace through non-violent means
embody ethics of love in our lives
allowing all to be free
use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand
use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
sse our bodies to do the work hand in hand

Story of A Girl
04:36
|
|||
have you ever heard the story of the girl who set out on her own?
she was searching for meaning in the world
she wanted to find her home
she climbed the tallest mountains
she sailed the seven seas
she joined a gypsy caravan
she even lived up in a redwood tree
and she learned to sow the seeds and they’d grow
tending to the soil and the roots down below
she’d watched how her attention
when put in one direction
would fuel the fire of her purest intention
and still, she’ll stumble and fall
frequently forgetting that she already had it all
inside herself
she always had it all
she always had it all
she opened her heart to see what she could find
let people in that were not meant to be inside
she placed her value in the hands of others
not believing in her worth
she lost sight of her druthers
from that place of lack
she allowed attack
she forgot that she needs to have her own back
wasted and confused
she got used and abused
she lost sight of her truth
she forgot she was her own muse
took her falling to realize her strength
it was through the fire she finally found her way
so now you’ve heard the story
of the girl who set out on her own
cultivating the courage to face herself
and her beliefs that held her down
she directed all the love
that she so desperately wanted to give away
back to herself through her practice
feeding her spirit in a sacred way
and she learned to sow the seeds and they'd grow
tending to the soil and the roots down below
she'd watch how her attention
when put in one direction
would fuel the fire of her purest intention
and still she'd stumble and fall
but now she remembers that
she’s always had it all inside herself
she always had it all
inside herself

que esta pasando en el mundo
algo habra que hacer
en estos tiempos dementes
no estés indiferente
ya seamos sinceros
que la gente está muriendo
y los niños llorando
hambre y genocidio
gobiernos corruptos
y el agua potable esta privatizada
y la vida sostenible está abandonada
cuando nos daremos cuenta
de que depende de nosotros decir
basta ya!
hemos tenido suficiente
queremos cambio
y vamos a crearlo
únete a nosotros
porque no nos conformaremos
ya es la hora
la hora ha llegado
yo no me esconderé
siempre seré fuerte,
nunca perdere la fe en jah
la llama va creciendo
y la gente está subiendo
amor debemos que realizar
si encarnamos el cambio,
el mundo también cambiará
es la ley de la atracción
no esperes a ver
lo que hacen los otros
ser la fuente de su contento
abre los ojos
enfrenta los días
sin admitir que enfermamos
como sanamos
como sanamos
ya es la hora
la hora ha llegado
ya es la hora
la hora ha llegado

Jewels of Jah
05:46
|
|||
when you seek you will find
free up your mind
have reverence for the most high, be kind
ohhhhh yeah
when you seek you will find
have reverence for the most high, be kind
what you gonna do when the mirror’s held up for you
you gonna run and hide
do you face what’s inside
what you gonna say when you reach your judgement day
will you regret and lie
or take off the disguise
to find peace we must cultivate forgiveness
free ourselves of violence
find meaning in the challenge
occupy i thoughts with positive affirmations
expect illumination from conscious concentrations
expect illumination from conscious concentrations
what you gonna do when the mirror’s held up for you
you gonna run and hide
do you face what’s inside
we gotta
keep the temple clean
pay attention to the mind
as he thinketh in his heart so is he
so be kind
be true
set a good example for the youth
for the light of Jah will guide you on your way
through all the darkness
have the courage to look within and live in truth
with self awareness
And be ever aware of our oneness
And thorough our seeking
May the jewels of Jah be revealed
we gotta
keep the temple clean
pay attention to the mind
as he thinketh in his heart so is he
so be kind
be true
set a good example for the youth
for the light of Jah will guide you on your way
through all the darkness
have the courage to look within and live in truth
with self awareness
and be ever aware of our oneness
and thorough our seeking
show love embrace understanding
have faith in goodness
be strong, be resilient
persevere in our brilliance
for the light of Jah will guide you on your way
through all the darkness
have the courage to look within
and live in truth, with self awareness

Small Things
03:56
|
|||
Blessed by the forest
yet we cut it down
magnificent oceans
not a fish to be found
the last white rhino
now lives in a cage
how can we just sit here
and not be enraged
i know you think it’s hard to change
that it won’t matter anyway
all it takes is giving it a try
it’s all about the small things that we do
always makes a difference what we choose
doesn’t seem important
till our lives are shortened
till we can’t ignore the ugly truth
it's the small things that we do
an open heart can change your point of view
we’re all interconnected
everyone’s affected
when we got so much to lose
small things can be huge
small things can be huge
if we just listen
show each other respect
see how a smile
has a ripple effect
you could be a hero
just for showing up
you can pay it forward
doesn’t take that much
it’s the impact that we make
when we slow down we appreciate
it’s all about the small things that we do
always makes a difference what we choose
doesn’t seem important
till our lives are shortened
till we can’t ignore the ugly truth
it’s the small things that we do
an open heart can change your point of view
we’re all interconnected
and everyone’s affected
when we got so much to lose
small things can be huge
small things can be huge
we’re taught that something new
will bring happiness our way
but the more we consume
the more we end up throwing away
but when we stand together
we can make it better
it’s all about the small things that we do
always makes a difference what we choose
doesn’t seem important
till our lives are shortened
till we can’t ignore the ugly truth
it’s the small things that we do
an open heart can change your point of view
we’re all interconnected
everyone’s affected
when we got so much to lose
small things can be huge
small things can be huge

Build No Walls
04:02
|
|||
sometimes i dream i’m a bird flying free
surfing the waves of the ocean’s breeze
no borders exist for any other living being
why as humans do we build such things?
when i feel the wind blowin in my hair
so much beauty, there’s no room for fear
all the colors of the rainbow unite
watch what happens when you try to divide
you can build no walls around me no no no
you can build no walls around we
life is a gift when we choose to be present
won’t take for granted the freedoms we’re blessed with
we have a voice may we stand up and use it
won’t give our power to those who abuse it
some walk for miles in the blistering sun
risking it all with hopes of liberation
their reward is the cold bars of cages
we know what is wrong, so why don’t we change it?
may all borders melt away
we don’t need no walls to separate
may we unite and celebrate
we’re all tired of the 9-5
playing the game in order to survive
our dreams we will not sacrifice
as humans we were born to thrive
you can’t build no walls around me no no no
you can’t build no walls around we ohhh
you can’t build no walls around me no no no
you can’t build no walls around we

Realize

Ever thought that
something more was possible
Sacrificed ideals for what seemed tangible?
Did you think they were right
when they called you naive?
We’re your visions too big
for them to conceive
Can’t be afraid of better things
Trust ourselves to know our own dreams
Some try to keep us down to their advantage
fill us with fear that what we want
we cannot manage
Realize our biggest limitation is our mind
With clear vision anything can be
Believe in infinite possibilities
Commit to the journey
surrender and have faith.
Trust in yourself and your abilities
Realize our biggest limitation is our minds
I wanna to learn to soar
not afraid to strive for more
I want to climb to the highest peaks
of my dreams
If I believe, it will be so
Ever thought that
something more was possible
sacrificed ideals for what seemed tangible
did you think they were right
when they called you naive
we’re your visions too big
for them to conceive
can’t be afraid of better things
trust ourselves to know our own dreams
some try to keep us down to their advantage
fill us with fear that what we want
we cannot manage
Realize our biggest limitation is our mind
I wanna to learn to soar
not afraid to strive for more
I want to climb to the highest
peaks of my dreams
if I believe, it will be so
