Human Rights [Song]

HUMAN RIGHTS
By Brother Mudada

Human rights is basic, good lord, may no man be denied it
You, Mister lawmaker, take this song to be a reminder
You got to check out your conscience, can't you see I am human
And it's a basic right to defend my rights?

Sing the song now:
Stretch forth your hands unto the land positive, my people
Make no mistake, for justice sake, let it be
I tell you, lord, freedom to live, freedom to love
Pink, yellow, black or white, ----- is human rights

This human right question, race and colour irrelevant
Yes, my native accent - insufficient grounds for contempt
Lord, if that's the criteria, I would say, very unfair
The emphasis must be on justice.

Yes, I insist:
Stretch forth your hands unto the land positive, my people
Make no mistake, for Jah Jah sake, let it be
I tell you, lord, freedom to live, freedom to love
Pink, yellow, black or white, good lord, is human rights.

When discussing human, nationality unimportant
All your material assets is completely out of context
Don't you know, you are -------, flesh and blood is the real thing
And the right to live must be respected.

Sing now, children:
Stretch forth your hands unto the land positive, my people
Make no mistake, for justice sake, let it be
I tell you, lord, freedom to live, freedom to love
Please recognise the heights I'm on human rights.

Yes, everyone of us very sensitive and conscious
And in justice absence, tyranny has full influence
People, I am appealing, please regard your own feeling
I'm sincerely yours for this common cause.

Help me sing now:
Stretch forth your hands unto the land positive, my people
Make no mistake, for the children sake, let it be
I tell you, lord, freedom to learn, freedom to earn
Pink, yellow, black or white, good lord, is human rights.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Brother Mudada.  

"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!
