One People
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.
Nobody's got the right to decide
what we want and how we should look
to take away somebody's views
the way we are and how we choose.
It doesn't matter who you are
whether you come from near or far
to justify your place on earth
stand up strong.
We are one people, from one race.
We are one people, face to face.
We are one people, doesn't matter how you see it.
One people.
Understand me no man?
It no matter who you are, no matter where you come from
under Jah moon and sun we all are one.
So why fight with the knife? Why kill with the gun?
Why so much war when we could have some fun?
This would be a better world yes for each and everyone
if could we realize that we all are one.
Society's changing everyday
serious thinking becomes play
harder times are yet to be seen
brother man why can't you see.
It doesn't matter who you are
whether you come from near or far
to justify your place on earth
stand up strong.
Word! Somebody tell me what's up with mankind
it seems as though they choose to be blind
living their life as if they don't care
messing with the planet and the atmosphere.
Mothers are crying, hungry children are dying
and those in high places keep on lying
but we can change things if we just try
with U. N. I. T. Y. cause we are...
Make me tell them.
Now it no matter who you are no matter where you come from
under Jah moon and sun we all are one.
Now it no matter who you are no matter where you come from
so listen to the words now of the Banton.
Yes! Black, white, red and yellow man
Muslim or Christian... Hindu, Bhudist or a Rastaman.
Lord the list goes on and on, but the rest don't need to mention
cause in the eyes of God we all are one.
