Groundation
Defender of beauty
[instr. intro]
[Marcia Griffiths ]
Before you play this round, you should know something, yes
About the thing you are not seein'
Hope him to inspire all the angels of man (A-ah-ah)
A-but you cyan't do it (do it), them alone shall make their fate
Hidden past their makeup, and the diamonds and lights:
A false worship, reflection of them ego trip (them ego trip-yeah) yeah!
Building up their model of stick like puppet
Trying to hide what we see; Jah the defender of beauty
[Harrison Stafford]
Until the moon and the sun start their focus on we (watchy-watchy)
And the dreams of a child are universally
Nurtured as true shape and form, reflections of we (reflections of we-reflections of we-reflections of we)
Only then will man and woman (man and woman!) be respected equally
Jah know
[M. Griffiths]
Just like all her idols, she wants to sparkle and fly (fly-fly-fly)
A-but you never reach it (re-re-reach-it, ah-ah), stuck like in quicksand pit
Feelin' like a failure you want to run off and hide (A-ah-ah)
But you cyan't do it (do it), remembering life is a blessing
Driven by the powers that man has devised (devised-ah-ah)
It's only physical, could never get spiritual
Changing up this model would be our fight (A-ah-ah)
Recalling history; Jah the defender of beauty
[Harrison Stafford]
Until the moon and the sun start their focus on we, ouu! (watchy-watchy)
And until the dreams of a child are universally
Nurtured as true shape and form, reflections of we (reflections of we, reflections of we, reflections of we)
Only then will man and woman (man and woman!) be respected equally
Jah know
[instr. skit]
Until the moon and the sun start their focus on we (watchy-watchy)
And the dreams of a child are universally
Nurtured as true shape and form, reflections of we (reflections of we, reflections of we, reflections of we)
Only then will man and woman (man and woman!) be respected equally
Jah know
