Lyrics
Neva Retiya
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.
From the first moment I opened my eyes
I knew I had a destiny to realize
Cause we are all one people, one creature, one sky
And it is not our fate that we should be divided
And dead soon we all will be if we can't figure out a way to live in peace and harmony
The pathway is ours to choose
We got so much to gain, we got even more to lose
The world is changing, everyone knows
Forest are dying while humanity grows
And why do I feel like we don't have a escape
And the faith in the future
Are in our arms today
Corporate politicians, hung up on puppet strings
Making bad decisions for all of us
With so much under cover
Its only in each other that we can put our trust
So, farmers plant your corn and trailblazers trod it on
We all must face the dawn together
Singers sing your songs, cause I know it won't be long
This world will die but the spirit is forever
Marching forward
Through the never
Past returning
Beyond forever
Now reborn
Again we borrow these hearts and hands through our joy and our sorrow
And we burn the fyah
Rastaman burn the fyah
So, farmers plant your corn and trailblazers trod it on
We all must face the dawn together
Singers sing your songs, cause I know it won't be long
This world will die but the spirit is forever
Cause if into the future we all could see, we'd probably do things a little differently
At least I hope we would have the sense to see the futility of all this violence
Now we're seeing the damage we've done
We're becoming prisoners of our own Sun
And if we are going to survive in these times
We got to leave the past behind
Dust to dust and
Ashes to ashes
Our past is our future
Our future will become our past
From descendants
To ancestors
I and I return for-
Forever
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
Burn the fyah, neva retiya
