Lyrics Truth Is - Duane Stephenson, Mutabaruka

Truth Is

Word to the wise and prudent
Be careful what you set your mind on
You might surely have it
Jah Jah, we need You, we need You, we need You, yeah yeah
One more time, me ask them fi lower the bombs and the weapons of mass
destruction
Spread some love to the Earth and the sons and daughters, we are robot without
instruction
Turbulence a-rock them boat
And every day now the rain them a-soak
Them still have the breath of life, Jah must know why
He never let them children die
So why you think you know the best for all
When we rise, them want fi see us fall
And why you never seem to realize
That no matter what, Jah hear we cry
A man without the truth when him drinking red
You want fi know your friends, just pretend you’re dead
Jah nah gon' make them eat we up like no vampire
No, no evil can conquer you
No many of the leaders, them falter
Them a-play the rule of blood, invite the youth them to them altar
Them all a-create the vision
Divide and rule, at that them riches them a-spending
But money can’t buy life
Money cannot save you from the judgment of Jesus Christ
He who sees it knows
You cannot seek forgiveness inna dirty clothes
Why you think you know the best for all
When we rise, them want fi see us fall
And why you, you never seem to realize
That no matter what, Jah hear we cry
A man without the truth when him drinking red
You want fi know your friends, just pretend you’re dead
Jah nah gon' make them eat we up like a vampire
No, no evil can conquer you
The evil man fled
When no one pursued
To see the good in things
You have to see yourself in things
Wake up and live!
Truth is, there are perilous times ahead
Prepare for more man fi dead
Prepare for less food and much more mouth to feed
Man are killing brother, all to breed
And truth is, there are good times still around
Good people can still be found
Won’t you listen to this song
Before you put another brother down
One more time, we ask them fi lower the bombs and the weapons of mass
destruction
Spread some love to the Earth and the sons and daughters, we are robot without
instruction
Turbulence a-rock them boat
And every day now the rain them a-soak
Them still have the breath of life, Jah must know why
Him never let them children die
So why you think you know the best for all
When we rise, them want fi see us fall
And why you never seem to realize
That no matter what, Jah hear we cry
A man without the truth when him drinking red
You want fi know your friends, just pretend you’re dead
Jah nah gon' make them eat we up like a vampire
No, no evil can conquer you
And why you think you know the best for all
When Jah rise, them want fi see us fall
And why you, you never seem to realize
That no matter what, Jah hear we cry
A man without the truth when him drinking red
You want fi know your friends, just pretend you’re dead
Jah nah gon' make them eat we up like a vampire
No, no evil can conquer you
And now we say
Make tomorrow be a brighter day
Jah, He comes in the morning
Your reward will be in the dawning
