Zion
Michael Rose Lyrics

Though I wash my hands and my feet in the waters of blessings.
Despite performing cleansing rituals, I still struggle to find sustenance.

I start my day, by looking for bread.
My daily routine revolves around searching for food.

I see people running to town, to town can't find no food.
I witness others desperately searching for nourishment, but it remains scarce.

It's like famine all over the land.
The scarcity of food is pervasive and famine-like.

The pressure from Babylon.
The oppressive force of Babylon weighs heavily upon us.

People holding on so strife.
We cling on to hope amidst difficulty and adversity.

By the rivers of Babylon, we must trample dragon.
We must overcome obstacles and defy oppressive forces.

By the rivers of Babylon, we are strong and we are ion.
By standing strong by the rivers of Babylon, we draw on our inner strength and resilience.

Zion
Zion represents our freedom from oppression and the hope of a better future.

Plant the seed and let it grow,
We must work hard to sow the seeds of progress and prosperity.

So you can feed the nation.
By nurturing our collective growth, we can provide for our fellow citizens.

Too much people on the street don't you know,
We must address the issue of homelessness and lack of resources.

Can't find no food, can't find no food.
The pervasive scarcity of food remains a pressing issue.

The crisis here and the crisis there.
Instances of crisis are widespread.

People getting even disappear.
Individuals are disappearing or facing injustices as a result of these crises.

See a man at the sidewalk, that's where he sleeps.
I encounter homeless individuals sleeping on the streets.

And that's where he eats, and there is also woman and children too.
The sidewalk serves as a place for these individuals to both sleep and eat, and they are not alone in their struggles.

Oh what a shame oh in Babylon,
It is a shame to witness such suffering and desperation in Babylon.

(using Him) to uplift the nation.
We must look to a greater force to uplift us and bring us out of our struggles.

We need to put in check, all these fornication words.
We must curb the use of harmful language and actions.

That we breaks on the light can't you see that
Our harmful actions have negative consequences and impede our progress.

you're fighting with dynamite to keep us down.
Oppressive forces are actively working to suppress our growth.

But we close to the top, champion, number one.
Despite the obstacles, we remain strong and resilient at the top.

Wait, wait, wait for the master to come,
We must wait for a higher power to come and guide us towards liberation.

People don't love each other no more.
People have stopped loving each other.

As they use one another.
Individuals are using one another for their own gain.

Oh my brother, love your sister,
We must embrace love between siblings and encourage support for each other.

How long must we be this way since we going astray.
We have been lost for far too long and must work towards finding our way back.

People Signpost
Signs of our struggles are everywhere.

Even though we end up in a dem sow.
Although we may encounter difficulties and setbacks, we cannot give up on our goals.

I am strong, strong like a lion,
I draw on my inner strength and courage to overcome obstacles.

Everyday.
This is a daily struggle.

Yes we know, yes we know, we are ion.
We acknowledge our resilience and strength in the face of adversity.

Yes we know, yes we know, we are lion.
We embrace our inner strength and courage.

Yes we know, yes we know.
We know ourselves and our capabilities.
