The Price Of Peace |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| You stole my history |
| Destroyed my culture |
| Cut out my tongue |
| So I can’t communicate |
| Then you mediate |
| And you separate |
| Hide my whole way of life |
| So my self I should hate |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Took away my name |
| Put me to shame |
| Made me a disgrace |
| As the world’s laughing stock |
| Think of me as show |
| You jeer and to mock |
| But your time is at hand |
| So you better watch the clock |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| From the shores of Africa |
| To the mainlaind of Haiti |
| Caribbean and the Pacific |
| Central and South America |
| Yes you mediate |
| And you separate |
| You hide my whole way of life |
| So my self I should hate |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Brother what a price I’ve paid |
| Sister what a price I’ve paid |
| Mother what a price I’ve paid |
| Father what a price I’ve paid |
| To thee |
| To have peace |
