(Go so)
(Jah Jah children are rising)
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Children are having children
(Jah Jah children are rising)
The rich is getting richer
(Jah Jah children are rising)
And there ain't no justice for the poor
Come on and
Let us join our hands and hearts
And our minds and souls in this last war
(Jah Jah children are rising)
(We need more love
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Brothers are fighting brothers
(Jah Jah children are rising)
That ain't no way for us to live, no way
Professionals and leaders
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Truth is what you got to give, oh yes
It's time
for us to join our hands and hearts
And our minds and souls in this last war
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Say it again, say it again
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Brothers are fighting brothers
(Jah Jah children are rising)
And that ain't no way for us to live, no way
Professionals and leaders
(Jah Jah children are rising)
The truth is what you got to give, oh yes
It's time
for us to join our hands and hearts
And our minds and souls in this last war
Higher
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Said rise up, stand up, for your justice
Higher, higher, higher
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Rising higher
Rising higher
(Jah Jah children are rising)
I'ma begging you
Get up, stand up, for your justice
Get up, stand up, for your justice
(Jah Jah children are rising)
We need more love
(Jah Jah children are rising)
Beres Hammond's "Last War” is a call to action for everyone to join hands and fight for justice in a world where the rich get richer and the poor suffer. The song begins with the chorus singing "Jah Jah children are rising." This line serves as a representation of hope for the future as the oppressed people rise up to fight against injustice. However, the song also highlights the negatives of society that cause people to rise. The imagery used to describe the troubled society is powerful. Children are having children, and there isn't justice for the poor. This line is particularly impactful, as it shows how there is a clear divide between the rich and poor, with no chance for a fair system.
The following lines about brothers fighting each other and leaders not providing the truth show how people have lost faith in their leaders to guide them towards peace and justice. The song continues to emphasize the need for everyone to join hands, hearts, minds, and souls in the last war to fight against the injustices in the world. The phrase "last war" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the final battle between good and evil.
Overall, "Last War" is a song that calls for change and unity to overcome the injustices in our world. It highlights the struggles of ordinary people and the need for everyone to come together and fight for their rights.
