about
This song depicts the spiritual challenges one can face on a daily basis. The lyrics addresses the current social issues that continue to plague our present society. There is hope that one day we will bridge the gap between class; race; ethnicity; religion and one's love preferences. The lyrics also touches on climate change and the damage being done. This legacy is what present day children are mainly concerned about including nuclear proliferation.
lyrics
Shay Jah Jah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death
I shall fear now evil
Mi say now
So much pain ‘n poverty
No peace no love no harmony
Planet earth is calling out in vain, hear mi now
The children are askin' why
Tears are swelling in their eyes
Why can’t we live in unity
Yeah mi no say now
Why can’t we come together
Learn to respect one another
We each must, learn to live ’n share
Ah say now, mi say, mi say now
Live, live and let live
‘Coz love is the answer, hear mi now
Live, mi say live, yuh gotta live
Live and let live
‘Coz hate is a cancer
Alright now, hear mi now
Power over you and me
Is the perfect recipe, ah
You and I could throw it all away, yuh see now
The devil is gaining ground
But love will always win the round
‘Coz greater is He who made us see
That a Jah, Jah, Jah
The one who came to save us
Who gave His life to redeem us
So we could see, a brighter day, yeah, yeah, yeah Jah
Live, live and let live
’Coz love is the answer
Lemmie tell you one more time, ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Live, live, live and let live
'Coz hate is a cancer, ah say now yeah
Mi say live, live and let live
‘Coz love is the answer
N’ all the children cry now
We won't give up, we say enough is enough
Let’s make this world a brighter place
It’s time to begin, time to begin now
Mi say live, live, live and let live
‘Coz, love is the answer
Ah say now Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah
Mi say now live, live and let live
‘Coz hate is a cancer
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa
Live, live and let live,
‘Coz love is the answer
Ah say now, ah say now yeah
Live, live and let live
‘Coz hate is a cancer
Oh, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah
Mi say now live, live, live and let live
’Coz love, love is the answer
Love yuh brotha man
