My Redemption Song

I'm sick of the truth being silenced I'm sick of the unbelievable violence Caught up in our lives ignoring real issues It affects us directly all these tear soaked tissues Though these dark nights may be tiresome and long Nobody can deny it when the sun shines strong It lights up your life, it all starts to go Everything feels right, then we all start to grow No division in life, no focus on making dough Everyone is equal, no enemies or foes Learn to love mankind before we love our wealth Learn to love one another as we love ourselves I'm sick of being silenced by the powers that be All I see is war and violence and you're looking at me Revolution and riots on your tv screens I seen this all happening cos I had a dream Revolution of the mind, I think you might find This worlds in rewind, we're all walking blind The great Bob Marley had something to say So did Martin Luther King and JFK We all had our vision of how it went wrong But this is my vision my redemption song This is my vision my redemption song I have a dream some day the army will fight for the needy Instead of causing destruction when they fight for the greedy I dream of a world with no corruption or disgrace No discrimination is made over your creed or your race I dream of a time when we look after our planet And anything that's bed then the government should ban it I dream of a day when the world is at peace Two wrongs don't make a right so let these wars cease I dream of helping others and sharing resources And resent it bein taken by occupying forces Do we no longer have the courage to stand up and fight I'm not waiting for tomorrow, I'm starting tonight It's gone way past the time for being polite The pressures building up and it's gonna ignite A dream is just a dream until the idea is great So let's change the world now before it's too late You gotta stand up, no need to explain You gotta stand up, no need to refrain You gotta stand up, act a little insane, you gotta stand up You gotta stand up, no need to explain You gotta stand up, no need to refrain You gotta stand up, act a little insane, you gotta stand up Revolution of the mind, I think you might find This worlds in rewind, we're all walking blind The great Bob Marley had something to say So did Martin Luther King and JFK We all had our vision of how it went wrong But this is my vision my redemption song This is my vision my redemption song
