lyrics
He said he shot my brother all of those years
all of those years ago dead
They done forgot my brother and all of those tears
all of those tears that we shed
Fight back that bitterness that's hunted us down
making us turn on ourselves
Always divide and conquer I can see now
I can see now what's been done
Fire to fight, hear my cry
I won't lie down, never
Fire to fight, lose my sight
Time to mend
Love transcends
Death, destruction, exploitation
Love transcends
Shame, regret, mass confusion
Love transcends
Greed, hate, manipulation and all of time
Love transcends.
Watch as the fearful people stifle us all
making us see what they see
Danger 'round every corner is what they believe
one must learn to break free
Fire to fight, hear my cry
I won't lie down, never
Fire to fight, lose my sight
Time to mend
Love transcends
Death, destruction, exploitation
Love transcends
Shame, regret, mass confusion
Love transcends
Greed, hate, manipulation and all of time
Love transcends.
{gtr solo}
Whisper words of revolution
Sowing seeds of days to come
Pray for peace and absolution
There is power in our tongues
Love transcends.
