lyrics
Millionaire tells me you can't dress that way
And millionaire tells me, you can't eat that way
But the law says I'm free, to do as I like
And the Lord says I'm free, if my soul's alright
But the media frenzy, says it's not that way
And the powers above me, don't hear what I say
They say that you're no one, if you ain't got stuff
But the people know better, cause we still got love
Chorus:
You recognize truth, you recognize light
You try to stay cool and you try to do right
Worn by our work, content just the same
We're the reggae people, we carrying the flame
You turn on the TV and what do you see
You see exploitation and stupidity
You flip through the channels and it's all the same
You see people yelling, but saying nothing
Ok it's not all bad, but look at it's root
The main motivation is just to make loot
And if money and glamour are our only goals
It's easy to forget, that we've still got souls
Chorus
You try to stay cool and you try to do right
But with everything you see, it's easy to lose sight
Of the goal at the end of the road
Forget what you've been told and behold
The divine plan, as it unfolds
And reaches every corner of the globe
Cause we the reggae people need to make it as a whole
And I know, even though I've been told lies
For the first time I can see with my own eyes
I look into your eyes, your eyes give me hope
I see something deeper, it broadens my scope
I see the big picture and its origin
I see all your beauty, it comes from within
Trials and tribulations, these times they do hold
But all of the best things, can never be sold
I thank you then my friend, for all that you done
You helped me remember, that we are all one
Chorus
