lyrics

Can't see the sky
There's too much wire
No one can deny
That We're so tired
Of the war
What are we fighting for?
2x

Financial gain
Them all Filled with greed
Materially vain,
Don't know what they need
Mind's so insane
As they franticly feed
Devouring the flesh
Yet still more them a need

Couldn't really tell you
what real beauty is
Ask bout spirituality
Them take it as a diss
Look into their eyes
I'm sure you cyant miss
The pain and destruction
And that's just the least!

Can't see the sky
There's too much wire
No one can deny
That we're so tired
Of the war!!!!!!!
What are we fighting for?
2x

I am my own master
Cyan follow no one!
Jahjah is my father
That's for whom must I stand
No one can really muster
The most high plan
Works so mysterious
Still
even a child can overstand

My path laid out in front of I
My faith is so dear
The destination fixed in sight
The instructions so clear
My love can only get more strong
As I+I prepare
The message has been delivered to I
There is no more fear!

Can't see the sky
There's too much wire
No one can deny
That we're so tired
Of the war!!!!!!!
What are we fighting for?
2x

Pushed away the false pretence
I'm looking for sense
Getting deeper everyday the mind is so intense
Sometimes the way of livity is coming like a test
And
World Leaders everywhere
playing people like chess!
Life's no competition, shouldn't be a contest!
I Never believed in politricks
To That I must confess
Still
Reality and participance for sure must get addressed
Tolerance is what Selassie preach
No one can test!

Can't see the sky
There's too much wire
No one can deny
That we're so tired
Of the war!!!!!!!
What are we fighting for?
2x

I-mitri CounterAction Leicester, UK

CounterAction, Not A Blind Reaction

CounterAction is a UK roots reggae/dub label.

It aims to provide a vehicle for positive, educational, spiritual creative musical expression contributed by singers and players principally from Leicester and the UK (but not only), particularly taking notice of artists that perhaps have not had enough or as much exposure as deserved.

A true counterAction. ... more
