Mankind
Meta and the Cornerstones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is a spinning vinyl full of sounds
Some people listen and some people don't
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
Who knows what the youth will sing
2X
In this jah world we live and shall be embraced
Why fighting for things that come even last
Mankind amongst its own race
Stay how you were raised

Can't you see the Sunday morning stars?
Feel the wind blow and the silence of this soul
I can see you from afar
Remember who we are?
What's your role?
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
Who knows what the youth will sing
This jah is what I shall be embrace
See our lives yeah
Each one of us got something to say everyday

I can see myself 2X
In you
Which garden you chose to plant your seed?
So true 2X
Free them all (free them free them)
The woe of imagination
Staring at light fulfill the vision
Tell me what you were taught you will see?
The labyrinth of so many questions
Who knows the right direction?
Into a world where death is dead
Set them free
In this world in this world in this world
Why fighting for things that come even last
See our lives yeah each one of us got something to say Everyday
Almighty jah is my salvation
A new era has come and now we be gone
Will be singing this song continually
On the strings of Salomon the king
Oh ready yo
Salomon the king
Yo ready yo

Oo we
Free them all 3X





End
