Lucky Dube - Back To My Roots

EDDIE LOVETTE

Your song -Soja  ft Damian Marley

Queria Ser

[Verse 1]
Fields are burning, houses fall,
Children no dey know peace at all.
Inna dis world weh dem sell we dreams,
Life a price, like cheap broken schemes.
Who fi tell we di cost a dis sorrow?
Who a count di price of stolen tomorrow?

[Chorus]
Let’s clear away di greed and lies,
Open up di truth dat never dies.
No more war fi power or wealth,
We come fi mend and heal weself.
Unite as one, bring forth di light,
Remove di cause, and set we world right.

[Verse 2]
Why sell we land, our gold and oil dem too?
Fi flashy cars and mansions, when di cost is you?
Di roots of war, dem sprout in selfish gain,
Leavin’ heart and hope in a trail of pain.
Instead of clash, we change di tide,
Clear di cause so truth can guide.

[Verse 3]
Our blood an’ death, countin’ fi profit gain,
While di people dem a suffer in endless pain.
Di homes a burn, di souls dem a cry,
Yet di wicked richer while innocence die.
We ask, “Why di war? Who light di spark?”
Time fi cut di roots dat feed di dark.


[Bridge]
Time fi tear down di lies weh di news dem tell,
Fi di children dem dreamin’ of a better shell.
Stand fi di truth, we nah back down,
Our voice a di light inna di darkest town.
Every tear an’ cry fuel di righteous fire,
Together we rise, climbin’ ever higher.

[Final Chorus]
Let’s clear away di greed and lies,
Open up di truth dat never dies.
No more war fi power or wealth,
We come fi mend and heal weself.
Together we rise—not to wage no war,
But to fix di wrong and ease di sore.

[Coda]
When di roots are gone and di system change,
Di light of peace will brightly range.
Di children dem will know a life so free,
In a world where war’s just memory.
Deep inna we heart, di hope forever flow—
A call for love dat all of we must know.

Why Di War?
