Story behind the song
We are all capable of great things. Rise above the blasé and seize the day!
Lyrics
There was a time when the coin box was empty
Nine to five scraps of ten and twenty
But head filled with melodies plenty
Patience is a lesson so lengthy
One for the show and two for the money
No santa clause or no easter bunny
What is within is like sweet honey
For soothing rainy days and the warm and sunny
Elders works we can never undermine
History repeats we see tell-tale signs
No we can't leave the youths behind
Free mental shackles that traps and binds
They left words for all mankind
Make a difference with yours and mines
Gimme the Mike gimme a base line
I'm gonna make you press rewind
Heights by great men all remind
We can make our live sublime
From the beginning to the end of time
Rise and shine rise and shine
And there's no need to search far nor wide
Good will always be by our side
Every road is another climb
Will and mind will and mind
Your story is my story
Our story history
On walls and minds written glory
For the weak and the lonely
Reaching hearts and minds in the darkest night
Erasing fears giving strength for the fight
Time to reflect for the foresight
knowledge of your roots is your right
It was the way of the freedom fighters
against the the machine and hoard of back biters
Making our burdens lighter
Salute to the elders flash up you lighter
Let our minds be compliant
Press forward on the shoulders of giants
Danger zone for the ignorant
To mediocrity must be intolerant
Heights by great men all remind
We can make our live sublime
From the beginning to the end of time
Rise and shine rise and shine
And there's no need to search far nor wide
Good will always be by our side
Every road is another climb
Will and mind will and mind
These great men praises we sing
From Marcus Garvey to Martin Luther King
Saying strive for the higher things
Soar like eagles spread these wings
So rise above the hate and fallacy
And embrace this forward legacy
So we raise a glass of the Hennessy
To freedom and solidarity
To success and prosperity
To love and unity
Guiding light and strength to humanity
Liberating minds unearthing vanity
Positive sometime a minority
We go forward with love as priority
Shaking off the induced insanity
Let's get back our moment of clarity
