the Gladiators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Righteousness will soon begin to flow among I and I
Just you wait and see
'cause very soon man is going to realize
Best thing in life is when you are free
Free to walk among the dread, free to walk among the soul
The police men and the army
Forget what colour you may be
We all are one brothers
We all are one sisters
We all are one blood, so
Let's talk about love and forget envity
If Jah can forgive us then why can't we forgive one another
Eli, Eli, Eli - lama sabachthani ?
The Gladiators' song "Eli Eli" contains a powerful message that speaks to the unity of all people regardless of race or ethnicity. The song opens with a biblical reference, "Eli, Eli, Eli - lama sabachthani?", which is Aramaic for "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" spoken by Jesus Christ on the cross. The band uses this phrase to question why there is so much hatred, division, and inequality in the world. The lyrics suggest that righteousness will soon begin to flow among everyone, and people will realize that the best thing in life is freedom - the freedom to walk among each other without fear or prejudice. The message is clear - we are all connected; we all have the same blood running through our veins, and therefore, we must treat one another with love and respect.

Eli, Eli, Eli - lama sabachthani ?
Wondering why God has forsaken us.
Righteousness will soon begin to flow among I and I
Morality and virtue will soon reign in us.
Just you wait and see
Have faith, it will happen in due time.
'cause very soon man is going to realize
For humanity will soon understand.
Best thing in life is when you are free
True happiness is attained only when you are free.
Free to walk among the dread, free to walk among the soul
Free even in the face of danger, and free in spiritual exploration.
The police men and the army
Agents of law and order.
Forget what colour you may be
Let go of racial divides.
And begin to check de blood and you will find out that
If we check our blood, we will realize that.
We all are one brothers
Everyone is a brother in humanity.
We all are one sisters
Everyone is a sister in humanity.
We all are one blood, so
We are all one in essence.
Let's talk about love and forget envity
Let's discuss love and do away with animosity.
If Jah can forgive us then why can't we forgive one another
If God can forgive us, why can't we extend same to each other?
