lyrics

Upright and splendid

Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anywhere man steps
The truth is defended
Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anytime man needs a hand
My bredrins can lend it

Life
Can never mistreat
such wonderful gift
Don't want to spoil it
Given to I,
On the day of I birth,
I'll cherish and uphold it..
I'm grounded
From this foundation I can't drift!
barely started on my journey
How can quit?
I'm fit
and ready for i purpose
Since I was yute
Groundation was My solace!
Man is So thoroughly bless
My mind is finally at rest

Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anywhere man steps
The truth is defended
Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anytime man needs a hand
My bredrins can lend it

Upright
Is how I shall stand
In touch with the elements
Connected with the land
Its So fragrant
When the rain drops land
Whether in a field
or whether on sand
The beauty of this world the hardship overcomes
The entire world, nature commands
Just like the oceans, control you can't demand
Through constant observation, mans can fully overstand!
Seasons Unfolding, According to plan
Any way you deh
Your ground you must stand
Through hard work Comes,
the betterment of man!!
This way I shall stand

Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anywhere man steps
The truth is defended
Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anytime man needs a hand
My bredrins can lend it

The miracle of life
Around me enfolding
Young life the mothers are rejoicing!
A blessing..
The feeling of forgiving
Never
Expecting from the giving
Believing
In better things arriving
The end of all the striving
Liberty
No more lying
no backbiting
Responsibility
No more need for arguing!
Togetherness
People uniting
Not fighting!!

Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anywhere man steps
The truth is defended
Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anytime man needs a hand
My bredrins can lend it

Consciously giving
The power of forgiving
Without a doubt
Through the powers we're receiving
In the coming in,
and also the leaving
Un-earthing
A glimpse of the truth
It's So inspiring
parents love their youth
Better days they're Desiring
On their own selves They've been relying
So trying

Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anywhere man steps
The truth is defended
Up right and splendid
Never surrendered
Anytime man needs a hand
My bredrins can lend it

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.
