WHAT WE SOW Lyrics

Do you know, something's starting

Do you feel, justice rising

Do you see, the change of tide

Can you see it's common love that's keeping us alive

Don't you know, the pain of the past

Can't you feel, the peace never lasts

Don't you see, we're from the same tree

Don't you see every brother and sister deserves to be free?

We must not toe the line

We must fight against the pain, all the loss and the crime

Now must be the time

Opening eyes, fight fear with rhyme

No broken backs for dimes

Fighting for the poor, reaching for sublime

Keeping peace alive, yeah

Now's the time to speak and time to rise

Abandoning false reason

Free life

Abolishing all treason

Changing like the seasons

A new free life

Quality of life is uneven

We see freedom's depletion

A new free life

A new peace has risen

Each of us the reason

We'll win this fight

Rising up so the future's bright

What we yield are the crops we sow

It's time to let hesitation go

Despite the hardship this flower must continuously grow

Change is dictated by what the youth know

We must let peace, love, and joy flow

We all know this how we want our kids' lives to go

We in the word want everyone to glow

That means in this world, we must improve schools and let literacy grow

A fair and equal world

The poor intentions of the few unfurled

A melting pot world, yeah

Where all are equal, and all stories are told

Till there's peace we won't be moving on

A new revolution has begun to take flight

We can no longer ignore this and lie

When feel the embers of change ignite

Hopes lifting higher, young people inspired

All the pains of the past retired, you know

Let's ignite this higher, a burning yearning fire

Finally let the past go

Feel that hunger? Time to feed it

Feel that drive? It keeps us alive

Feel that push? Let's march but not shove

Let's keep the dream Martin Luther King was feeling

Feel that change? The oppressed speaking up

Feel it grow? Only a peaceful approach see's it

Want world peace? We must achieve it

Letting Marley and Guevara's lead help us win it

It's an innate thing we all know, a pure thing to regrow

The future is now-now-now

No division allowed

A solemn vow

No wondering how-how-how

A new sense of joy is loud

Feeling free and proud

Sunny skies, no overcloud-cloud-cloud

No one is low, prosperity grows, a bright tomorrow

Put down swords while fighting

The new generation enlightened

This is the plant we sowed

We won't be fighting

This is the light of uniting

We can fight it

Don't you wanna know? The feeling we can grow?

It's time we start to grow, let's let past pain go
