So Many Rising - Ziggy Marley

Some will not remember

Most will never know

What life was like

Before the new world

Grass was clean

The air was pure

Spies weren't standing

Inside your doors

Teardrops fall on my shoes

Is there no time to be amused

Poor are crying to be heard

I'm crying for the world

Society my friend

So many choices

So many devices

So many voices

Many are confused

Many are refused

So many abuse

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

Ignorant behavior

Your strength becomes your weakness

Who will be above the fray

When the fray is getting

Higher everyday

Society my friend

So many choices

So many devices

So many vices

Many are confused

Many are refused

So many abuse

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

The Shepherds are wolves

Protecting their goods

And money is mightier than the pen

Greed will always take whatever it can

Maybe it must break before it bends

Some will not remember

Most will never know

What life was like

Before the new world

Grass was clean

The air was pure

Spies weren't standing

Inside your doors

Teardrops fall on my shoes

Is there no time to be amused

Poor are crying to be heard

I'm crying for the world

Society my friend

So many choices

So many devices

So many voices

Many are confused

Many are refused

So many abused

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising

So many rising
