For dis hour, u did know de future [x3]
Di fear upon mi, mi ah search di answer
When mi wake before dawn
Mi waan kill di alarm
Gaze out de window
De morning quiet & calm
Ah so mi bed warm
Mi woulda luv fi sleep long
Wake wid de sun
Mi turn around & mi frown
Cau bills ah cum
Dem cyaan done
I wonder how mi ah go pay rent & private loan
A system full ah stress ah get greedy every day
Kill man wid taxes & ah gwaan somewhere
Pressure pon de ..... (little) man
De clock run him life
& to survive
Wi haffi sharp like a knife
Now who is de biggest?
Who have de last word to say?
& who have de right & power
Fi wash mankind away
Eartquake & volcano
& wi dont know when dem slay
Hunger, hurricanes & floods & ting
Now mumma earth want fi play
I say...
[chorus:]
For dis hour, u did know de future
Wha would u plead & who would u vote for?
Dis ah upon mi, mi ah search di answer
I wonder who mek di aids & di cancer
If ah di hour u did know di future
Wha would u plead & who would u vote for?
Di fear upon mi, mi ah search di answer
'ow will we live now di earth ah our sponsor?
Inna disa time
Nuff tings pon mi mind
Say mi cyaan believe mi eye
When mi ah watch mankind
When mi see we are murder one another fi a dime
See how wi blind
& we commit di same crime, time after time
We cyaan...
Wonder who mek di history bend & twine
Inna disa day u haffi clevar & smart
Carry love inna yuh heart
& u clear from di start
Dress yourself inna nice, firendly & lovin mood
Tink good, mek way fi di youth
Now who build di future?
& who practice war?
Juss tell mi wha wi reach for
Other dan house & car,
Sex, money & fame
& every man ah superstar
Go plant a seed ah love inna yuh friends
& let di earth, & let di earth spin forever!
[chorus:]
For dis hour, u did know de future
Wha would u plead & who would u vote for?
Dis upon mi, mi ah search di answer
I wonder who mek di aids & di cancer
If ah di hour u did know di future
Wha would u plead & who would u vote for?
Di fear upon mi, mi ah search di answer
'ow will we live now di earth ah our sponsor?
