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 |
