Though I walk through the city of judgement
I myself I judge not
Was it not by the foolishness of judgement
So many wars were fought?
Tempts me to judge, but I say no way
Everyone's free to choose their own way
Oh I walk through the valley of judgement
I myself you judge not
Was it not the stupidness of judgement
So many wars were fought
Oh I pray for the dark hearted person
Lost in fear as dark as night
I know its only confusion that
Keeps us from the light
Only confusion that
Keeps us from the light
Oh so much confusion that
Keeps us from the light
So much confusion that
Keeps us from the light
But no longer by these laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by these laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by these laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by these laws
Shall I abide
No longer by these laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by these laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by these laws, no
Shall I abide
Though I walk through the valley of judgement
I myself you judge not
Was it not by the foolishness of judgement
So many wars were fought?
I pray for the wicked hearted
Lost in fear as dark as night
I know its only confusion that
Keeps us from the light
Its only confusion that
Keeps us from the light
So much confusion that
Keeps us from the light
So much confusion that
Keeps us from the light
I know its only confusion that
Keeps us from the light
So much confusion that
Keeps us from the light
Jealousy, hatred
No longer, no longer
Jealousy, hatred
You gotta stand aside
No longer by your laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by your laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by your laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by your laws, no
Shall I abide
And I know its only confusion that
Keeps us from the light
So much confusion that
Keeps us from the light
But no longer by these foolish thoughts, no
Shall I abide
No longer by your laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by your laws, no
Shall I abide
No longer by your laws, no
Shall I abide

Searching for the groove
Searching for the groove
Trying to make you move
Searching for the groove, yeah
Men, men, men, men, men
You could never know
What it's like
To have something grow
Inside of you
Woman and the power of one
Where did we all come from?
Woman and the power of one

Pity racist people
Who cloak themselves in drapes
Covered in confusion
They know not positivity's name
They know not positivity's name
They know not positivity's name
Why don't they know it?
Why can't they see it?
Why don't they know it?
Can they now see it?
Can they not feel it?
Healing music
Healing music
Take it in soul
Take it in soul
Take it in side
Their insecurity makes them call out inferiority
But what could be more pure
Than my love for you

Hungry souls starve at a feast of silver and gold
Greed and money only make the heart cold
Soul famine
Starvation of the soul
Soul famine
Starvation of the soul

Famine of the soul

There's no way you can go wrong
Find your voice, sing your song
No there's no way you could ever go wrong
Find your voice, sing your song
No way you could ever go wrong
A gift has been given unto you from above

Revolution
04:35

Remember music
Search for the answers
But the answers they cannot find
Instead of moving forward
We fall further behind
Science and politics
Have been, oh, so unkind
They told me all the answers to life
All the could find
21st century is now at hand
We've got to make a change, we've got to stand
And if revolution is the only solution
To rid the world of its pollution
Then, oh
Revolution's on the way
Revolution's on the way, people
Revolution's on the way
Revolution's on the way, oh
Bring in the music
Step back, stand aside
No longer will we hide
Cause we the new generation
And we want a new nation
There's nothing they can say or do
To stop us from coming through
For the sake of this Earth and its children
We've got to find something new
And if revolution is the only solution
To rid the world of its pollution
Then, oh
Revolution's on the way
Revolution's on the way, people
Revolution's on the way
Revolution's on the way, oh
Revolution's on the way, people
Revolution's on the way
Revolution's on the way, people
Revolution's on the way
Must it take a revolution
To change this world?
Oh we've got to find a new day
What's going to be the new way?

Proud Line
05:07

All these hardships that I face
From the start
I use as a stone to sharpen the blade
Of my heart
And with this blade
I will cut myself free
From the nets that were bind to keep me
'Cause from the right path
They don't want me to find
But I won't be misled by any false sign, no
I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
Don't you know, don't you know?
I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
(scatting)
As we walk along this road of years
You replace my hopes with fears
Your seconds seem to be the streams
Which carry away my dreams
Time, must you be my enemy?
Well, my pain is a seed of knowledge
I must sow
With blood and sweat
Into wisdom it will grow
Ghosts of insecurity
You've bent me enough
Now let me be
You can't keep me down
Cause through my struggles
I only gain
The strength and wisdom to see me through
Your storms of lighting, thunder and rain
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
(scatting)
(portuguese rapping)
As we walk along this road of years
You replace my hopes with fears
Your seconds are the streams
Which take away my dreams, oh
Time why must you be my enemy?
(portuguese rapping)
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
Oh, gotta walk a proud line
Don't listen to what they say
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
No, gotta walk a proud line
Gotta walk a proud line, my friend
You gotta walk a proud line
Proud line, my friends

Saw you standing in a storm
Rain beat upon you
The winds howled your name
I reach for you
But I reach in vain
You've long been drowned
In a sea of shame
Some say it's better to end it
Than to keep carrying on
I say, hold on

And I'll do everything that I can do
(scatting)
I'm there for you
Saw you standing in a storm
The rain beat upon you
The winds howled your name

But I reach in vain
You've long been blinded
By your own self blame
I reach for you
But I reach in vain
You've long been drowning
In a sea of shame

I wish there was something I could do or say
I only want to be the light
That visits this, your darkest night

Ambassadors of peace
Stand and be counted
For it's later than you think
The battle is hearty
Martin Luther King
Was a very great man
Whose words in these days
Need we understand
Twas said not to
Judge another by the color of their skin
Oh, but by the content of their character
Words from the prophets people listen but don't hear
They continue to live in fortresses made of fear
Walls of segregation have now been brought down
So why, in the tears of history
Must we drown?
Let the racists eat their brutal creeds they hold as sacred
For how can life be found in bread made of anger and hatred?
Let the racists fight each other down
In their pools of confusion themselves they will drown
Let those of us who understand join hands
And show those who preach division
A new vision, oh
Ambassadors of peace
Stand and be counted
For it's later than you think
The battle is hearty
Martin Luther King
Was a very great man
Whose words in these days
Need we understand
Twas said not to
Judge another by the color of their skin
Oh, but by the content of their character

Let those of us who understand join hands
And show those who preach division
A new vision, oh
Ambassadors of peace
Stand and be counted
For it's later than you think
The battle is hearty
Ambassadors of peace
Stand and be counted
Join hands with those of like minds
Regardless of color, yeah
Martin Luther King

Oh, but by the content of their character
Words from the prophets people listen but don't hear
They continue to live in fortresses made of fear
Walls of segregation have now been brought down
So why, in the tears of history
Must we drown?
When history
Isn't our story anymore
Ambassadors of peace
Stand and be counted
For it's later than you think
The battle is hearty
Ambassadors of peace
Stand and be counted
Join hands with those of like minds
Regardless of color, yeah
Leave the racists to eat their brutal creeds they hold as sacred
For how can life be found in bread made of anger and hatred?
Let the racists fight each other down
In their pools of confusion themselves they will drown
People, why keep on with the old rules
When today's a new game?
Not all fruit from the same tree
Tastes the same
And us who understand
Come together join hands
Let's show those who preach division
A new vision

Just the other day
Only just the other day
I said, just the other day
A baby boy was born
They named him Panjea
Said they want a better world
Movement of the people
To change the ways
Where there's the will
Lord knows there's a way
Oh, no, no Panjea
Ohnayway
Oh, no, no Panjea
Ohnayway
Just the other day
A million babies were born
They need a place to live
Said they want a better world
Movement of the people
To change the ways
Where there's a will
Lord knows there's a way
Whoa no no Panjea
Whoanayway
Whoa no no Panjea
Whoanayway
People of the world
Do you know who you are?
Look to yourself
The truth ain't very far

Mandela
03:48

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are
Powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be?
Brilliant, gorgeous and fabulous
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God
Your playing small does not serve the world, no
Oh, these are the words of Mandela
Mandela, Mandela, Mandela
Mighty baba, Mandela
Mighty baba, Mandela
Mighty baba, Mandela
Mighty baba, Mandela
Mighty baba
There's nothing enlightened about people
Shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us
It is not just in some of us
It is in everyone
Everyone
Mandela, Mandela, these are his words
Mandela, Mandela, Mandela, Mandela,
Mandela Mandela
Mighty baba, Mandela
Mighty baba, Mandela
As we let our light shine
We unconsciously give people
Permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear
Our presence automatically liberates others
It liberates others
And these are the words of Mandela….
