Every man has got his day
When he's down and out
And every woman she's known that hour
When she's full of doubt
And every child every child has known that time
Of darkness around
When not a word or a ready smile
Could make steady, the ground

So you look with faith
To the gods above
Reach out to those around you
Cos it's about love
And you, you let your tears flow and mingle with the dust
Peace settles in your heart
Cos it's about trust

Do not feed the pain of a fellow human being
Do not judge a situation undeen
Lend a hand to those without
Spare a minute to those alone

Verse 1
stand in the rain as the clouds go grey
the thunder roars and the earth sings
the season's just beginning
the sunlight it hides as the clouds make way
for the pouring of my blessings
i will not be afraid

Pre-chorus
i see it now / i understand / i know
so i embrace it
dance in the rain it's for my seeds to grow
for every prayer and every seed i've sown
the Lord of the harvest knows
i'm reaping back a hundred fold

Chorus
the land is green - it's green
ooooh
the land is green - it's green
can't you see?
the harvest

I just wanna feel good everyday
I wanna wear smile upon my face
I wanna feel the joys of the day
I wanna feel alight in every moment
Said I won't wast time on feeling blue
I won't waste time on things I cannot change
I'm gonna live these days as best as I can
Doing everything that feels right

Singing la la la la lala la la...

I wanna hear the laughter of a child
I wanna feel the hug from a loving friend
I wanna hear "I love you" every now and then
I wanna show somebody that I care
'Cause feeling good is a choice that we all make
Just like a smile is a small effort you make

Somebody say
It's time to turn the light on
And look in the face
Of what we've become
A shadow of faith
I've tried to do what I could
And so one day...

I wrote a song for all the people

Who fight on
In a world that doesn't see them
'Til they're gone
Seen so many lonely people
Who fight on
Fight on
Baby be strong...

I heard it one day
The sound of a silent siren
But I looked away
My heart was too young
Still I knew someday
I'd need more than a shoulder to cry on
So I learned to play

A little song for all the people

Who fight on
In a world that doesn't see them

My mama told me to stand upright
And to give thanks when the morning come
My papa taught me the will to fight
But he forgot to teach me when to run
And though my path was not always right
I found my way through in spite of me
And though I once could not find the light
Oh, now I see.

What would you give to be free?

Free to stand astride the morning sun
And sing your own melody
And shout it from the mountaintops
What would you give to be free?
Free to stand astride the morning sun
And sing your own melody
And find your own way…

How many hearts burn a candle bright?
How man

Bless ma room when I wake up early in the morning
Say a prayer and I feel okay
Don't get lazy, you better stop yawning
As for guidance, never go astray
Now that you got the Jah Jah protection
Release all your tension

Ghetto youth, you better pray
Oh, you better pray
And watch all your problems just fly away
