| This world can turn you upside down
|
| But it don’t have to complain
|
| Cause I know we’ve been through hell and back
|
| But we stand from just the same
|
| Cause ive been a thug, ive been a thief
|
| Ive been a junkie on the streets
|
| Ive been a hippie, ive been a punk
|
| And ive done time for being real
|
| All those things don’t make me who I am
|
| Nooo, no I am just a man
|
| There’s no time for livin in the past
|
| Nooo, cause life goes by much to fast
|
| Because its true
|
| The reggae music soothes my soul
|
| No matter where I happen to be
|
| Because its true
|
| We need to open up our eyes
|
| For the future children, for our kind
|
| Open hearts open minds
|
| Ive been around this great big world
|
| Ive seen things I can’t explain
|
| I stay positive to live my life
|
| Do what I can to keep me sane
|
| If you threaten us with words of hate
|
| Its because you only hate yourself
|
| Your confusions so full of fear
|
| Ill love to take the other way
|
| Cause its true
|
| We need to open up our eyes
|
| To believe in yourselves day after day
|
| Cause its true
|
| We need to know there’s a better way
|
| For the future children, for our kind
|
| Open hearts open mind
|
| Open hearts open mind |
