Today
Chorus:
I will change the world
today
I don’t care what the
people say
There’s a brighter day
to come
Cause I’m a rebell I
kill the devil
I was so close to resigning
Saying fuck the world
and just move to an island
All of these people seek
dem neon enlightments
We are blinded
World leaders too money
minded
(But then)
Music is my mission and
jah works my assignement
I come from Iceland,
Freetown salon, land of diamonds
We’re pushing stones
bigger than a girl in the 9th month
See Americans ah turn
the world in a timebomb
We ain’t got no hoods,
we have real slums
Where ten year olds have
you leaving
On two hands with two
stumps
And no clothes and no
funds
I was deep down in a
hole giving up my life once
So insecure I couldn’t
even see the sky once
So my energy would grow
out of silence
“how you gonna change
the world?”-
I will change it with
my hands
We haffi response before
the rivers run dry
And the stars fall from
the sky these days
Love is just a word but
I will try and…
Chorus
I will change the world
today
I don’t care what the
people say
There’s a brighter day
to come
Cause I’m a rebel I kill
the devil
I will change the world
today
I’m gonna pave the way
For a brighter day to
come
Cause I’m a rebel I kill
the devil
I failed, I lied, betrayed,
got played
Was scared, was blind,
not straight, had hate
Gone astray, was lost,
was vain, loved fame
But my strength of today
lays in yesterday’s pain
I stole, was sold, was
bold, I chilled
I killed, I fell, I rose,
you know
I’ve lost a fight before
But I won’t lose the
war
Chorus
This ain’t about the
bad ones
It’s about the one who
no care
Who’s too fat to be bothered
Too lazy and scared
To whom changing this
world
Would mean send his world
to hell
And destroy an illusion
That served him so well
Good things never come
easy
Start with reflection
of self
To some this might sound
cheesy
But the truth afi tell
Some caught up in survival
Think it’s them that
need help
You never know that material
Could never be wealth
Chorus

chorus
It Hurts To Be Alone
After he breaks your
heart
Then you’ll be sad
And your teardrops start
Then you’re defeated
By your own weapon
Just because
You think that you’re
so smart
Goin’ around breakin'
lover’s hearts
Then you will know
How it hurts to be alone |

Come on now
You have been found
Pick you off the ground
I’ll dry your tears
Our kingdom is near
SoulstormSonnerie
verse
now we're walking down
an alley
now i'm talking spiritually
we got one eye on the
future
and the other on our
money
and all our feeling goes
dead
when we switch on that
channel
so over fed with the
terrible flannel
try to switch off my
head
use my soul indtead
so i'll get ahead of
these things
i said
chorus
there's a soul
soul
a soulstorm everywhere
it's a everywhere
everywhere
a soulstorm everywhere
verse
i was thought that talk
is cheap
and i have learned that
love is deep
god gave me my soul to
keep
so i talk love a whole
big heap
and i will not point
a finger
for it is timeless and
will linger
i keep my own words down
so i won't drown
repeat one more time
and don't hinder
chorus
verse
some people might be
wondering
is his head in the clouds
and no ground under him
what the so and so's
he on about
so i'll just break it
down down (no doubt)
i got up out of bed one
misty morning
found myself sitting
there and brainstorming
about how to be true
without being corny
had to do some soulstorming
must be the benefit of
the global warming
i realised that there
ain't no harm in
planting soul and a little
farming
do some soul farming
soul...
