Lyrics
HIStory
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.
He got kicked in the back
He say that he needed that
He hot willed in the face
Keep daring to motivate
He say one day you will see
His place in world history
He dares to be recognized
The fires deep in his eyes
How many victims must there be?
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many struggles must there be
Before we choose to live the Prophet's plan?
Everybody sing
Every day create your history
Every path you take, you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in His glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Don't let no one get you down
Keep moving on higher ground
Keep flying until
You are the king of the hill
No force of nature can break
Your will to self-motivate
She say this face that you see
Is destined for History
How many people have to cry?
The song of pain and grief across the land
And how many children have to die
Before we stand to lend a healing hand?
Everybody sing
Every day create your history
Every path you take, you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in His glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn, you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony
All nations sing
Let's harmonize all around the world
How many victims must there be?
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many children must we see
Before we learn to live as brothers?
And leave one family, oh
Every day create your history
Every path you take, you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in His glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn, you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony
A soldier dies
A mother cries
The promised child
Shines in a baby's eyes
All nations sing
Let's harmonize all around the world
