Piece by Peace

we need a whole lot a peace and a whole lot a love
sweet like the blessing that is coming from above
we need a whole lot a peace and love mi say
a whole lot a peace and love

i heard the message of the prophets
i hear the message of Sellasie I
coming from the mountains to the valleys down below
if you want to build peace you got to give love a try

piece by peace and love by love
piece by peace and love by love

it was sung on the breath of Bob Marley
you can hear it in the earth and sky
there is no love in war machinery
stop building for war and give peace a try

piece by peace and love by love
piece by peace and love by love

babylon way divide and conquer
I and I is way to live as one, just one
babylon preaches hatred but I and I teach love

all of the creatures of the ocean
all of the birds up in the sky
all of life and little children
they are waiting for you and I

it has been written in the words of Garvey, old Marcus
it's alive in the Medicine way
time has come to heal the nation
Can't you see through love we'll build a brighter day

piece by peace and love by love
piece by peace and love by love

Lord, if lovin' was a thing that money could buy
the rich would have and the poor would die
but love it like a candy pon the shelf
if you want a piece you just help yourself
cause mi love you love you madly
you no see it say mi love you love you badly
love you love you madly
love you love you bad bad bad

Future Love talkin' 'bout
Future Love

don't step back this is not an attack
put your body to the rhythm and your mind to the facts
whole heap of message that i'm trying to give
to everybody in the world so the children can live
can't fuss and fight got to live up clean
pollution is a killer like an m-16
so before you fire off all that negative hype
one love posse a go rock you tonight
though they try to put you down and steal your sight
look I in your crystal ball and take your flight
step up off the treadmill stop running their race
it's time we move to the positive place

Future Love talkin' 'bout
Future Love

if you deal with negativity said you're going down the wrong way
got to deal with unity and seek the Zion Train
write your ticket baby you got a ride
step up on the platform of love and board the Zion Train

Future Love talkin' 'bout
Future Love

hold on tight this is not a gun fight
had enough wrong said we're gonna make it right
many come before said many have tried
to spread the word from the city to the country side
no matter where you are you can hear the folklore
can't make love while they wage wicked war
so before you get consumed by your heart disease
Love come fresh like an ocean breeze

though they try and stop this dancing and call it a sin
vibe is coming forward love is tumbling in
some nah go forward they just cling to the past
this is the dance that's going to last and last

"all over the world it is the same cycle of war, protest and the struggle for justice and basic human rights. Until 'love' is taken as seriously as the stock market there will be revolution."

Reggaelution
Reggaelution

see the people gathered in the street
police in riot gear, but the love them can't defeat
we sing for justice, we sing to end pollution
we dance for Earth Mother and we rock a love solution

reggaelution
reggaelution

though the flames grow higher and hot
like Shadrack, Meshach, and Abednego I and I will not burn
though they tell I to worship golden idol
oh babylon you must be humble

I would walk an extra mile for you, smile an extra smile
just to show you that i love you
and if all of that just wouldn't do i'd bring the stars
just to hear you say i love you

the way you walk on by, the way you say "hi"
yes i am, how 'bout you?
i love it when you step by my gate
we start to touch but we hesitate
'cause we're just good friends and love is dangerous
but i don't know how much longer i can hold out
i been waiting here so long
so come on come on just let me hold your hand
and together we will let love make a stand

I would walk an extra mile for you, smile an extra smile
just to show you that i love you
and if all of that just wouldn't do i'd bring the stars
just to hear you say i love you

i saw you just the other night yeah
your smile it looked so right
but your whisper i couldn't hear
we danced and let our bodies sway
your heartbeat told me what your lips won't say
but when the music was done you had to run
you act so shy like love has treated you cruel
the past is a lesson but the lesson is not the rule
so come on and bring home your love to me
and together we will let love be free

I would walk an extra mile for you, smile an extra smile
just to show you that i love you
and if all of that just wouldn't do i'd bring the stars
just to hear you say i love you

every time i read in the paper i can't believe so much fuss and fight so we gotta unite
you know that
war start when the guns start to bark
can't negotiate when the killing embark

come with your gun come with your bomb
come with bowie knife
you threaten the peaceful party
man you threaten the innocent lives
if you're the one whose gun should burst
it's only a matter of time
till some old rival faction come and duplicate the crime

dem go Pow pow rat a tat tat
dem nah seem to care what dem aim at

dem go Pow pow rat a tat tat
dem nah seem to care what dem aim at

so you better hit the ground and keep your head down down
plug up your ears if you nah like the sound
'cause nobody safe when the gun man around
tell me where is the peace and love to be found
so me look to the north look to the south
look to the east and west
me see dem build up armament and wicked nuclear test
rival gangs are fighting but for what i am not sure
i only see the innocent and dem can't take no more
because the war start

dem go Pow pow rat a tat tat
dem nah seem to care what dem aim at

dem go Pow pow rat a tat tat
dem nah seem to care what dem aim at

the children of Bosnia want no more war
the children of Somalia want no more war
the children of Rwanda want no more war
the children all over the world want no more war
dem want peace peace a little peace and love love
that's what they're praying to JAH above
stop the gun talk the gun gun talk
'cause when the gun talk the people drop
'cause when the gun talk the innocent drop

so gather around for this musical bomb
we drop it pon you in a lyrical song
that make JAH people want to jump and shout
hold up dem hands and wave them about
we're all moving steady inna rhythmical pace
many different cultures and many different race
we wind our bodies we nah deal with hate
this musical force come fe emancipate

dem go Pow pow rat a tat tat
dem nah seem to care what dem aim at

dem go Pow pow rat a tat tat
dem nah seem to care what dem aim at

check with your rival party
me say check with your rival clan
and you will note they look like you
because they are human
so if you choose to shoot pon dem
then they will do the same
and you will find no one can win
in this bloody game

the world keeps turning round round running round the light like a moth
and if it weren't for gravity people like you and me would fall off
instead we just roll around running from place to place and it would be the same thing if we were in outer space

so i say
gotta get back gotta wanna get to get back home
a heart is lonely place when it is made of stone
so seek and you try to find where you won't have to roam
gotta get back gotta wanna get to get back home

i was thinking for an hour or maybe just a minute or two
if you would be my lover i could really settle down with you
but i heard a vicious rumor that you checked out yesterday
and bought a three way ticket to a destination far away

so i say
gotta get back gotta wanna get to get back home
a heart is lonely place when it is made of stone
so seek and you try to find where you won't have to roam
gotta get back gotta wanna get to get back home

i heard it on the tele that the world is changing day by day
and working for a living means your gonna have to die by play
you can't rock a satellite and satellite is tracking you
don't fret around in circles cause there is something you can do
