EVERYBODY'S WORLD
By Roots Man
Arranged by Leston Paul
Album: Rack Me Rack Me | Charlies | T&T 1985

This world don't belong to no damn one man
For live and let's live is the Master's Plan
Life is like a cake, we all got to share
For each one of us there's a slice, my dear.

It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world
Me-you, he-she, us-they, them-we
Each one teach one, reach one, greet one
It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world.

Billions in foodstuffs are put to waste
While millions are dying just for a taste
So come, let us stop this hypocrisy
For freedom means nothing til all are free.

It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world
Children crying, thousands dying
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, drought and famine
It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world.

Down with apartheid now, I say
'Cause man shouldn't treat man in such a way
We know in the sight of Jah, it is wrong
So let's get together and chant it down.

It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world
Brown man, green man, red man, black man
One God, one fold, one man, one soul
It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world.

The sun and the moon, the stars and the sea
Now God made them all just for you and me
So how good and pleasant then it would be
If man respect man universally.

It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world
Me-you, he-she, us-they, them-we
Each one teach one, reach one, greet one
It's everybody's world, it's everybody's world.

I singing, "Leaders of the world"
I singing, "Leaders of the world, now"
I singing, "Leaders of the world"
Hear the children crying
Hear the people bawling
I say to stop the massacre
In India and Africa
Let us save Ethiopia
Stop the war in Uganda
Iraq and ------------
-------------------
Oh, Lord have mercy
Singing mercy, mercy
I say to stop the war
Wey we fighting for?
Let us live together
let us love one another
Let us live together
let us love one another...

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
