Fast Forward
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mankind doings will erase
all the beauty in this place
selfishly we seperate
can get no air we suffocate
so deep we penetrate
running out of options it's late
fast forward as the world go round
we have to take time and rejoice now
we never live to see the world go down
search yourself to find your way and pray now (repeat)
a nother victim of the war is the truth
dem fighting over nothing and me see morality dilute
thanks a new day dawining
tell me who will be there at the final calling
it's not you choose to lose
sometimes you get a bruise
life lesson you a learn and now you got to cruise
give a little from time to time
one day you'll find
leaving all your doubts way behind
fast forward as the world go round
we have to take time and rejoice now
we never live to see the world go down
search yourself to find your way and pray now (repeat)
tried fi see how dem a dash weh
not only life you sell all soul fi likkle cash deh
look how you dirty now a time fi get a wash deh
and it is a pity but you nuh ready now fi show some mercy
always ina rush deh
we see your system a collapse now it a crush deh
we blow the whistle take the ball and stop da match deh
again a, again a, again a, again a new day dawning
fast forward as the world go round
we have to take time and rejoice now
we never live to see the world go down
fast forward as the world go round
we have to take time and rejoice now
we never live to see the world go down
search yourself to find your way and pray now (repeat) (repeat)
if we could see it through the eyes of a child
there is no wrong doing not a sinner
and through the eyes of the wicked and wild
whole leap of devastation we see dem ina claim jah jah works ya fi dem own
flattering tongue like a knife cuts you to the bone
once so mighty was rome but one god alone
always and forever pon the throne
fast forward as the world go round
we have to take time and rejoice now
we never live to see the world go down
search yourself to find your way and pray now
fast forward as the world go round
we have to take time and rejoice now
we never live to see the world go down, the world go never live to see the world go down
fast forward as the world go round
we have to take time and rejoice now
we never live to see the world go down
search yourself to find your way and pray now (repeat)
