YOU AND 1 FUTURING 1

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Maybe with all these heavy troubles in the land Our hearts will finally see the light and understand Maybe while we’re locked up, prisoners inna our home We will find that freedom we’ve been dreaming of alone Maybe when we’re pushed right to the very edge, you see We will learn the value of true love and empathy Taking care of the ones who really matter in the race Telling them we love them, looking at them face to face ​[Chorus] Maybe with our backs pressed against the concrete wall We can heal our wounds and stand up tall We can throw away our armors, throw away the fear To build a safer world for the children, year to year Maybe when we’re stripped of the things we used to hold We will hear the cries for help out inna the cold From every living creature upon this planet green Then we’re gonna make it... to a place we’ve never seen, maybe. ​[Verse 2] Our power to stand together, side by side as one Has already been proven under Jah blessed sun More than ever now, it’s a reality we find A holy salvation we must keep inside our mind To help the vulnerable brothers when they stumble down the road To set another plate at our table, share the load For the poor and the needy, who have no place to sleep ’Cause not everyone is lucky inna this valley deep ​[Verse 3] Maybe we can really change the way we trod this earth Even when the storm has passed, giving a new birth Let us use the golden power that we hold inside our hand Communicate and bind the links across the weary land Let us learn from our mistakes, the foolish things we’ve done Put the heart’s intelligence before the smoking gun See the trouble as a chance to open up our eyes Don’t forget the lesson, so the spirit can rise ​[Chorus] Maybe with our backs pressed against the concrete wall We can heal our wounds and stand up tall We can throw away our armors, throw away the fear To build a safer world for the children, year to year Maybe when we’re stripped of the things we used to hold We will hear the cries for help out inna the cold From every living creature upon this planet green Then we’re gonna make it... to a place we’ve never seen. ​[Outro] Yeah... I say maybe... If the people want it, yeah. Only maybe... Wake up and live, people.
