Holiday
Beres Hammond Lyrics

Now will all the nations be gathered at the conference table, yeah
It's time for all the countries to unite and discuss the issues that are affecting the world

Let's talk about the conditions of this world, yes
We need to discuss the current state of the world and how we can improve it

If you're not happy with the situation, oh
If you're not satisfied with how things are, we need to make changes

If you're not feeling proud
If you're feeling ashamed of the state of the world and what's happening in society

Lift your voices, raise your hands and sing it loud, yes
We need to speak up and demand change from the people in power

Holiday, holiday Let the warrin' try and take a holiday Holiday, holiday Can the warrin' try and take a holiday
We need to put an end to wars and conflicts and have a peaceful holiday

Are you present Jamaica
Hey Jamaica, are you paying attention?

Lat's stand and be counted
We need to take a stand for what we believe in

On behalf of the people
We need to fight for the rights and needs of the people

Is this what you really want?
Is this the world we really want to live in?

Welcome Saudi Arabia
Hey Saudi Arabia, welcome to the conversation

Long time no hear from you
We haven't heard from you in a while, it's time to speak up

Asia and Australia
Hey Asia and Australia, let's join the conversation

It's time we take a stand
It's time for everyone to stand up and take action

Gonna talk about, we're gonna talk about hate, yes
We need to address the issue of hate and discrimination

And while we're here, let's talk a little about my color, yes
Let's discuss racial inequality and discrimination as well

Once and for all, let's get it straight, yes
We need to address these issues and find solutions once and for all

Now be seated while I make my speech
Now that everyone is here, let me make my point

As far as I can recall
To the best of my knowledge

The few who say they represent the masses don't live our lifestyles at all, no
Some people who claim to represent the people don't actually live like us

You don't know how we're feeling, no, you don't have a clue
You don't understand how we're affected by the issues being discussed

Are you sure you know when we're hurting
Do you really understand the pain and struggles that we go through?

Or does it really bother you?
Do you even care about our problems?

'Cause there are some who won't wanna see a change, no
There are people who are resistant to change and would rather things stay the same

But if at all you say you're working for the people, yes
If you claim to be working for the people, then you need to show that you care about their needs

Then we want to see love come from hate, yes
We need to end hate and discrimination and promote love and acceptance
