Don’t want to live in New York City, man
Don’t want to live in Tokyo
I want to stay in my own village, man
Is nowhere else I need to go
Is nothing that I want for myself
That I don’t want for everyone
To work in peace to live in freedom
To look and never see a gun
Why are you calling this the Third World
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world, one world
My heart it hurts more than my belly
So hard to live in poverty
I want to work for my own living, man
Don’t want someone to care for me
Don’t want to speak to revolution
It starts to sounding like a fight
I give myself to evolution
One world will make it be all right
Why are you calling this the Third World
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world, one world
This world is made for everybody
This life is gift for everyone
This earth is bound to keep on turning
This day is flowers in the sunshine, sunshine
Why are you calling this the Third World
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it will be our world
Can you imagine someday one world, one world
Why are you calling this the Third World
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us
It’s a subject we rarely mention
But when we do we have this little invention
By pretending they’re a different world from me
I show my responsibility
One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us
The third world breathes our air tomorrow
We live on the time we borrow
In our world there’s no time for sorrow
In their world there is no tomorrow
One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us
Lines are drawn upon the world
Before we get our flags unfurled
Whichever one we pick
It’s just a self deluding trick
One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us
I don’t want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
’cause we’re all in the same big boat
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday

Yeah, yeah, one world

When I walk on the street I feel glad I was born
Music comes a'ringin' out of every door
I see faces I know and they give me a sign
We got something between us and it feels all right
I see Chrissy the clipper, she colors my hair
Micky and Margaret make the clothes that we wear
And there's Gene who runs the club where we dance all night
When you live in our world everything's all right
Politicians and dictators and the guys with the dough
They think they run the world but they just don't know
'Cause down here on the street we got it under control
From Berlin to San Francisco, from New York to Tokyo
Stop it!
There's been too much debate
We could save ourselves from Holocaust
Or is that just our fate
Start now
But we continue to balk
We let the genie out of the bottle
But we still hold the cork

Killing,
You pushed a button, that's all you did
It's much harder to kill a man

And what are all our lives worth?
What kind of sentence would you serve
For killing the earth

Once upon a daydream
I fell in love with you
Once upon a moonbeam
I gave that love to you
Once upon a lifetime
I knew it must be true
When the months had turned us
I'd have to marry you
Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for tenderness
Once her daddy found out
He threw her to the floor
He killed her unborn baby
And kicked me from the door
Once upon a nightmare
I bought myself a gun
I blew her daddy's brains out
Now hell has just begun
Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for sentiment
(Oh....)
Once upon a lifetime
A lifetime filled with tears
The boy would pay for his crime
With all his natural years
Once upon a daydream
He'd make you his someday
Once upon a moonbeam
He'd dream his life away
Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for miracles
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a day...
Dream
We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
And all we have to do is try
We've got so many road before us
There are mountains we must climb
But who will show us
There's a hundred million stories in the sand
But there's only one thing we must understand
If we can, Yes we can, Ah
We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
And all we have to do is try
We've got so much pain and confusion
Are we living for the truth or an illusion?
All this fighting cannot get us very far
If we don't stop and see just who we are
Can't go far, We can't go far, Woah
We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
And all we have to do is try
We just need to walk together
We just need to talk together
We just need to come together
In our hearts
We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
We don't know what it means
To take our place in one world
To make our peace in one world
To make our way in one world
To have our say in one world
If you ain't got two words to say
Then I can't talk to you
No use crying, there's been no crime
I say it's just the way the wind blows
Just the name of the game
The way of the world, way of the world
Just the way of the world
Just the way of the world
So cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely world
Such a cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely world
it's just a cold and lonely world
It's one world, like it or not
It's one world, believe it or not
It's one world
It's one world, believe it or not
One world, like it or not
It's one world
Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means
To take our place in one world
To take our place in one world
To make our loving in one world
Make our way in one world
Sitting here feeding all these nimbers into my machine
A number for every little thing I see
I execute and they come dancing in
Dresses black and green
I recognise the number shining out at me
Telling me
One world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why
One world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why
One reason why
Many a good man stops to reason and pause for a while
Many a big man doesn't even try
And those who shold know better love the
Word in praise and letter
They wonder how and when
When I just wonder why I wonder
(Chorus)
They're crying in future tenses
Tearing down the walls and fences
No matter how I count
It still comes to the same amount
I hear a baby crying,
A sad sound, a lonely sound.
I want to take her in my arms,
And then I dry away all her tears.
I see a boy who's frightened,
A young boy with old eyes,
I long to say you're welcome here,
You can be happy now that you're warm.
We're all a part of one world,
We all can share the same dream...
And if you just reach out to me,
Then you will find deep down inside.... I'm just like you,
Loud voices raised in anger,
Speak harsh words, such cruel words,
Why do they speak so selfishly?
When we have got so much we can share.
So let your hearts be open,
And reach out with all your love,
There are no strangers now,
They are our brothers now,
And we are one.
We're all apart of one world,
We all can share the same dream,
And if you just reach out to me,
Then you will find, deep down inside,
I'm just like you....
We're all apart of one world,
We all can share the same dream,
And if you just reach out to me,
Then you will find, deep down inside...
I'm just like you....
One time
One world
Two times
One love
Three times
Rewind
'Cause I'm a dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
Come as you are
Come just like you be
It's the bumps and curves of our history
But no blocks in the road that we can't traverse
And no wounds from the past that can't be nursed
All hate gonna dissipate from our fate
No check, together we got a checkmate
All hate gonna dissipate and fade away
To make room for a brand new day
We got one world 'til its time to fly
We got so it's one love 'til we say goodbye
We got one world its enough to share
Til we're called home and we're caught up in the air we got
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
Together we can be perfect harmony
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
And I'm a dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
One world oughta be more than enough
And if its not, is God looking in pure disgust?
Wondering what the dilly with the silly I see?
When I made each of these in the image of me
Everyday is a chance for a new stance
Like every song is the beginning of a new dance
And everyone of us was made to reflect the light
And glorify the most high so bright
We got one world 'til its time to fly
So it's one love 'til we say goodbye
We got one world its enough to share
Til the king calls us home and we're caught up in the air we got
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
Together we can be perfect harmony
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
And I'm a dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
You can come as you are
Love is yours
Love is ours
I am a witness
sweet forgiveness
You will shine like a star
Burning bright where you are in our one world, one world
Like a star, like a star, like a star
One World
Like a star, Baby
One World
And I'm gonna dedicate this song, dedicate this song
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
Together we can be perfect harmony
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
And I'm gonna dedicate this song, dedicate this song
Lets come together and love,
Lets come together and love,
Lets come together and love,
Can't find no sleeves for my records
Can't get no laces for my shoes
Can't get no fancy notes
On my blue guitar
Can't get no antidote for blues
Can't find the reasons for your actions
Or I don't much like the reasoning you use
Somehow your motives are impure
Or somehow I can't find the cure
Can't find no antidote for blues
They say it's mostly vanity
That writes the plays we act
They tell me that's what everybody knows
There's no such thing as sanity
And that's the sanest fact
That's the way the story goes
Can't get no remedy on my TV
There's nothing but the same old news
They can't find a way to be
One world in harmony
Hey, yay, love always finds a way
Every single time
Once we learn to trust our heart
And look inside, it feels like
Now we see who we are
In a different light
We're not so far apart
And anything is possible
With all the differences, we're stronger here
Now the truth has been discovered, oh yeah
After all we've been through
Now it's clear that all of us, we share
One world, one love, one and all
We're a circle together
One world, one heart, one song
Now and forever
Everybody celebrate
Bring on the party, bring on the dance
Time to let the music play
The party never ends
Every guy and every girl
Stand up and shout, say it loud
Everyone around the world
Come on and join in
We're gathered here today
Everything is right
'Cause when you give from the heart
The things you do come back to you
There to be strong and brave
Not afraid to try
That's when we see who we are
The best of friends and that's when
With all the differences, we're stronger here
Now the truth has been discovered, oh yeah
After all we've been through, now it's clear
We're all, right here to share
One world, one love, one and all
We're a circle together
One world, one heart, one song
Now and forever
Ooh, I never knew that love would find a way
To bring together both of us
Now inside I know it's true
'Cause what we have is meant to be
You let me be the real me
Together here is where we belong
One world, one love, one and all
We're a circle together
One world, one heart, one song
Now and forever
One world, one love, one and all
We're a circle together
One world, one heart, one song
Now and forever we're a circle together
[Intro: tony benn]
The way we are controlled, is very simple, they keep us frightened.
Used to be the Kaiser, then hitler, stalin, now the muslims, next it will be the chinese.
They keep us divided men and women, black and white, muslim, christian and jew. they keep us demoralized, that's what the education system league table's about, and they encourage cynicism. And in that way they hope to control us.
And I think if you are going to establish you're rights, you have to begin by being absolutely clear, you are not frightened, not divided, not demoralized, not cynical and then you can make progress.
[Verse 1: Lowkey]
What I call positive, you call negative
What you call an optimist, I call a pessimist
In these times; apocalyptic: what is a misfit?
We all bleed red blood when the oxygen hits it
Let me talk on this, you should be more honest
The truth is the war in iraq was a resource conflict
Take a look at your flag, they'll destroy it in a flash
Drop bombs on your soil for the oil and the gas
Capitalism means weak devoured by the hungry
That's what happens when companies are more powerful than countries
Watch x-factor, go on twitter and keep talking
Listen my friends it's til the the end; we are sleep walking.
When the selfish gain wealth from blood,
It's like the whole world submitted to be-elzebub
We won't, help ourselves and no ones helping us
It's only a matter of time before we self destruct
[Chorus:]
(We've only got one world)
We've only got one world
We've only got one
We've only got one
[Verse 2: Lowkey]
Take these words as a warning
If you wanna wake up, to hear the birds chirp in the morning
T. N.C.'s commit crimes unforgivable
In 50 years time, will our world be liveable?
Most natural disasters aren't natural at all
Every slave has a master, there's an actual cause
The ice caps are melting so fast, and they're coming for ya
How long before bangladesh is under water
Talk of white farmers, and what mugabe did to them
But what about the plight of the somali fishermen
How they dumped waste in their water and took their livelihoods
Turn off the tv, read a flippin library book
When the selfish gain wealth from blood,
It's like the whole world submitted to be-elzebub
We won't, help ourselves and no ones helping us
It's only a matter of time before we self destruct
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3: Lowkey]
Who can live off the land when what you stolen is gone bro?
As precious as the gold in the coves in the congo
What is wrong when the human race makes atomic bombs?
Sometimes I look to the sky and wonder where god is gone
Is he just waiting for a man made judgement day?
Don't worry mate, just watch tv and stuff your face
There must be another way, I'm unafraid to speak up
What you think caused the tsunamis? and hurricane katrina?
In the grand scheme of things what good is a verse?
We weren't meant to abuse what god put in the earth
Now you wonder why I'm not a fun guy
When it hits our kids the only thing that survives will be the fungi
When the selfish gain wealth from blood,
It's like the whole world submitted to be-elzebub
We won't, help ourselves and no ones helping us
It's only a matter of time before we self destruct
[Outro:]
(We've only got one world)
Over time youve healed so much of me
And I am living proof
That although my darkest hour would come
Your light could still shine through
And though at times its just enough to cast
A shadow on the wall
I am grateful that you shine your light on me at all.
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
A conversation with the love most high.
Who am I?
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved
A wretch like me
I was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
And the more I sing that sweet old song the more I
understand
That I do not comprehend this love thats coming from
your hand.
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
A conversation with the love most high.
Who am I?
Grace, grace, Gods grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, Gods grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
A conversation with the love most high.
Who am I?
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Amazing love, now flowing down
From hands and feet that were nailed to the tree
His grace flows down and covers me.
(Repeat)
It covers me, it covers me, it covers me, it covers me.
It covers me, it covers me, it covers me, it covers me.
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
A conversation with the love most high.-a

Listen, Mother nature will provide us with nothing, when careless living leads to destruction. And as our earth grows old, will our future generations have something to hold. One world - we must protect. One world - we must correct. Stop it. Our environment's in a sad situation. It's our responsibility. Let's face it, we're destroying nature's gifts. How many more years are we gonna live like this. One world - we must protect. One world - we must correct. We need to think about it before there's nothing left! Then there's no second chance.
Everybody's been hurt before
Before before yeah
Can't keep knocking on Heaven's door, oh oh oh
It's time we come together
Baby stay wherever you are
No matter what the weather
Storm can't keep us apart, yeah
Kiss the sky like a feeling sparrow
I'll be the hero
We can fly with this broken arrow everywhere we want!
Go! you know it's one love
One world one world
You know it's one love
One world one world!
That's not a thing we can forget
I hear a baby crying
A sad sound, a loney sound
I want to take her in my arms
And then I dry away all her tears
I see a boy, who's frightened
A young boy, with old eyes
I long to say 'You're welcome here,
You can be happy now that you're warm'
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words, such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share?
So let your hearts be open
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
And we are one
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

All is changing like the ship in sand.
One sky, one home, one world will be
one land, one home, one world will com

Deep inside the heart is hurting, there's a void inside their lives
And that hole can only be filled by the love of Jesus Christ
You know what you've gotta do, God's countin' on you
CHORUS
Our world will be one world with Jesus Christ
Our world will be one world with Him in our lives
So let's tell someone about His love
And together we'll stand, together we'll be united in Him eternally
I know that you are longing for a Savior in your life
Your heart is so empty you're cryin' on the inside
That hope can only be filled by the love of Jesus Christ
You know what you've gotta do, God's countin' on you

To be alive

Ya'll know I'm young and witty, only my guns is pretty
Got Ali(Rasul)running with me, ya'll can come and get me
Find me in the slums of fifties, gutter campaigns from Poughkeepsie
that'll leave one in your kidney!
If you run against me, I've got killer flows,
ain't no monkey-business in gorilla fros
use music to heal a soul, all my young shorties fulfill your goals
Life is more then just the fastest cars & the illest
cloths! Tim'lands and whites, linen with ice
winning with dice, cinnamon wife blend with the trife!
repenting to Christ, vacating where the temperature's nice
Penderin' twice, that's what I call: Living the Life..
[Chorus:]
Yo it's the same hood money guns bottles of Cane
We can take what tomorrow'll bring
but as the days pass, our mottos'll change..
It's all one world, divided by bars and the chains, sorrow & pain
Follow the game gospels came with bullets ans slugs
took it to bloods of Abraham's crooks and them thugs
Hookers in clubs, little girls cooking up drugs
Who am I to rearrange their outlooks of love?!
My footage on dubs is like Holy Books from above
Saying Allah U Akbar, still shook from his grudge
shook to be judged, balls of fire false desire
crawling up higher until my laws retire
Yo, cutting no slacks, busting no caps
We've learned to reevaluate and muscle our tracks
my lungse'll colapse 'cause I keep cussin' on wax
How many rappers do you know still hustling crack?
[Chorus]
Now they're really gonna hate us! The Square and Ali Vegas
makin' papers. You can't escape the vapors
If the music doesn't work go back to stagin' capers
It ain't our fault they say it's what the devil made us
Whether mikes or skypagers, gats or crossfaders,
the game's the same and it's played by all ages
Laced with raw flavas, make ya'll wanna taste it
Niggas throw your guns in the air, hoes get naked
our motto. Pop bottles after we shake it
The lifestyles of young brothas tryin' to make it
Whips, exotic trips, and large bank statements,
I'm flying high
Got my feet off the ground
Going to spread my wings
Spread love around
Gonna climb so high
But I'm never coming down
I want you to see
I got music in me
Going to spread my wings
Spread love around
Gonna climb so high
But I'm never coming down
I want you to see
I got music in me
I'm flying high
Got my feet off the ground
Going to spread my wings
Spread love around
Gonna climb so high
But I'm never coming down
I want you to see
I got music in me
I've got
You got
We got
Music baby
I've got
You got
Music
Music
I'm flying high
Got my feet off the ground
Going to spread my wings
Spread love around
Gonna climb so high
But I'm never coming down
I want you to see
I got music in me
I've got
You got
We got
Music baby
I've got
You got
Music
Going to spread my wings
Spread love around
Gonna climb so high
But I'm never coming down
I want you to see
I got music in me
I'm flying high
Got my feet off the ground
Going to spread my wings
Spread love around
Gonna climb so high
But I'm never coming down
I want you to see
I got music in me
I've got
You got
We got
Music baby
I've got
You got
Music
We see the rising forces
Zealots gone awry
I'll fated fools and deceivers
With murder in their eyes
There's no surrender!
Ooo - you know we gotta stop it now
One world
We're gonna make it through
One love
Only way we're gonna see it through
One heart
You know we gotta find our way
One world
Only thing that's gonna save the day
Impending darkness warning
It's written on the sky
Stone-hearted sultans and schemers
Indoctrinate the lie
There's no surrender!
Ooo - you know we gotta stop it now
One world
We're gonna make it through
One heart
Only way we're gonna see it through
One love
You know we gotta find our way
One world
Only thing that's gonna save the day
The charge of virtue calling
Exterminate the swine
This time of conscience befalls us
It's here we draw the line
There's no surrender!
Ooo - you know we gotta stop it now
One world
We're gonna make it through
One love
Only way we're gonna see it through
One heart
You know we gotta find our way
One world
Only thing that's gonna save the day
One world
We're gonna make it through
One love
Only way we're gonna see it through
One heart
You know we gotta find our way
One world
On the gypsies avenue tonight
Hundred lairs seem like a thousand candle lights
I do not read what the signs they have to say
In my soul there are riches locked away
One world within, one heart is beating still today
An open road, one love can carry you away
If you lost all of your obsessions
Could you part with what you claim to be your possessions?
I do believe in a sweet imagination
An open road paved by inspiration
One world within, one heart is beating still today
An open road, one love can carry you away
So many thorns wrapped around your ankles
Pretty gold that is taken by the banker
But I believe in a sweeter than sensation
An open path cannot choke you with temptation
One world within, one heart is beating still today
An open road, one love can carry you away
One world within, afraid of the cold
Unlock the doors in anger with the keys you hold
One world within, afraid to be so cold
Thorns around your ankle
Makes you bleed and bleed and bleed in gold
One world within, one heart is beating still today
I hear a baby crying,
A sad sound, a lonely sound.
I want to take her in my arms, and then I dry away all her tears.
I see a boy who's frightened,
A young boy with cold eyes,
I long to say you're welcome here, you can be happy now that you're warm.
We're all a part of one world,
We all can share the same dream...
And if you just reach out to me,
Then you will find deep down inside, I'm just like you.
Loud voices raised in anger,
Speak harsh words, such cruel words,
Why do they speak so selfishly? When we have got so much we can share.
So let your hearts be open,
And reach out with all your love,
There are no strangers now,
They are our brothers now,
And we are one.
We're all apart of one world,
We all can share the same dream,
And if you just reach out to me,
Then you will find, deep down inside, I'm just like you...
We're all apart of one world,
We all can share the same dream,
And if you just reach out to me,
Then you will find, deep down inside...
I'm just like you...
Maybe you'll answer, maybe you won't
So I keep on calling, cold calling your number, or maybe I won't
I want to see and hear, don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody trying to get along
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody drawn together
I'm waiting in silence, I'm waiting for you world
To come together
But I'm getting impatient and I'm getting worn down
For you to come together
I want to see and hear, don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody trying to get along
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody drawn together
You could have been listening, you could have been here
You could have been giving and you could have cared
It could have been good, it could have been great
Take a look at yourself it's not me that you hate
You can leave all behind or you can put it on line
Just put it on the line.
