"Tear it down"
I always said, that if
ever I should have a blog, the first thing I would post are the
lyrics from a song, which to me is pretty accurate to the world of
the humans. It's from a reggae band called SOJA (feat. Murs) and the
song's name is 'Tear it down' (this version was published in 2014). Even if some don't like reggae the
lyrics are great. I don't really want to go on writing and explaining
what the text says, I'm just going to let you take a look and let you
take your own time to reflect about those words. (I'll underline my favorite parts.) Enjoy your reflection time ~ 💗
"Tear It Down"
It
seems we've forgotten how it all begun
before
the green paper started making us run
chasing
a bliss that already exits
Instead
of reaching with our hearts
they
got us grabbing with our fists
The
situation isn't what it was
and
its never gonna be it again
'cause
we got nothing prepared for what is coming up
when
the dollar is the focus of men, and you know
all
the solutions we don't talk about
cause
wed rather talk about ourselves right now
and
if WE are whats killing US
we
take the form of the storm up ahead, now follow me
I've
seen the water rising,
its
rising all around
and
I've seen those roots, they're ripping
and
they rip out from the ground
and
I've seen this world is changing
and
it's right in front of our face
there's
something happening here,
in
this little human race
it's
coming coming coming on down,down
it's
coming and it's coming on down, down
and
the (heat) index rise every time around
it's
coming, it's coming on down, down
and
we can tear every little thing down
and
we will, just look around
and
you can watch us tear it down
the
situations coming down to this:
what
matters to us all in the end?
and
our congress and president never ever mention it,
can't
even figure out same sex marriages
while
we kill each other every day,
and
while we kill our earth in every way,
it's
coming down.
We've
got this love inside us,
and
we've got this hatred too
We've
got this battle raging,
and
we've let the soldiers loose
We
sit and watch and wonder
will
what we NEED deep inside
become
what we WANT before...
it's
coming coming coming on down, down
the
waters literally rise now
it's
coming and its coming on down, down
and
the (heat) index rise every time around
it's
coming, it's coming on down, down
and
we can tear every little thing down
and
we will, just look around
and
you can watch us tear it down
the
waters literally rise now
And
you know total destruction is on the horizon,
if
you are standing on the out looking in.
possible
outcomes
It's
coming down waters rise about to boil over
we
rape the earth resources using toy soldiers
not
just the diamonds from Sierra Leone
I'm
talking copper and the minerals that power your phone
so
much conflict and with the convicts,
guilty
'cause we judge one another when we're all sick
we
gotta call em much higher than your 4G
it's
deeper than the poison that's destroying our seas
'cause
you and me we're connected at the root
it's
deeper than just chasing the track connect the loop
millions
of trees disappear every year
that's
why we here planting these seeds in your ear
create
a new spring change how we do things
conscious
without capitalism create a new stream
we
on the same team we want the same thing
We're
just a billion different pieces up the same dream.
Here's the song if you want to listen to it: Tear it down (feat. Murs) - SOJA
The lyrics are on this page, but without Murs' part, so I had to add them by myself:Lyrics on azlyrics.com
