Movement
Iya Terra Lyrics

Said near and far, no matter where you are
This Movement is happening everywhere, and everyone can feel it

You can feel this Movement. Movement Iya.
The Movement is powerful and undeniable, and it's being led by Iya Terra

We chant a song for the people sing along
This is a collective effort, and everyone is invited to participate in the Movement

And we say Movement, together as one
We are united in our cause and are calling for everyone to join us

Cause no matter where you are
The Movement is inclusive and welcomes everyone, regardless of their background or location

Know where you come from
It's important to understand one's roots and heritage in order to move forward with purpose

Rid the earth of separation
We are working to break down the barriers that divide us, and create a more united world

Cause this generation too strong for Babylon
We are a powerful force that cannot be held down by the Babylon system

Together as one
We are stronger when we work together towards our common goals

Like in the beginning when man took man
The Movement recognizes the injustices and atrocities of the past, particularly around the slave trade

Away from Africa (Africa)
The forced removal of people from Africa had a lasting impact on the world

Brought to a foreign land
The idea of home was lost, as many were brought to unfamiliar places

Inna the concrete situation (situation)
The harsh realities of life in an urban environment

Oh what a devastation to build up ya nation
The building of nations was only possible with the exploitation and enslavement of others

On top of a captured land
Colonization occurred at the expense of native peoples and their lands

And now we talk about a civilization
Despite these injustices, some pretend that we have built a 'civilized' world

Simple lies of a nation, yeah yeah yeah
These 'civilized' ideas are often lies perpetuated by those in power

For so long they want come tell I man
The powerful have tried to control and limit us for far too long

You haffi stick close to the road you're on
The idea that we should stay in our place and not strive for something greater is harmful and limiting

But in a crucial time of creation
Now is the time for change, and we must seize this moment to bring about a better world

We have to seek truth over deception ya know
The truth is often hidden from us, and we must actively seek it out and share it with others

Oh Jah, the earth is the lord's
The earth belongs to all of us, not just a select few

And the fullness thereof
The earth and all its resources should be shared and used for the benefit of everyone

Won't be long. We must evolve. We moving on
Change is coming, and we must continue to push forward and evolve as a society

I know the system is designed
The current system is not working for the benefit of all people, and it was never meant to

To make an enemy of I and I
The system seeks to divide us and make us turn on each other

Cause all them want to do is divide
Those in power want to keep us divided so they can maintain control

So their violence can justified
The system uses violence to maintain its control and justify its actions

But I know that love is gonna conquer all the hate, ya know
Love is the key to overcoming the hate and divisions that exist in our society

It takes love and understanding for the people to grow
We must work to understand each other and build relationships based on love and empathy

And if we learn to live in love, well
Love is the foundation for a better world

We can surely rise above, yes Jah
With love and compassion, we can overcome the difficulties and divisions in our society

You know the people are waking up, yeah yeah
More and more people are recognizing the need for change and joining the Movement

Movement a come and come
The Movement is growing and gaining momentum every day

Said, Know your roots, but know the truth, Ay
It's important to understand and appreciate our heritage, but it's also important to recognize the truth about our past and present
