Oh, yeah
Jah bless the ones who gone too soon
Easy now, let the truth resonate
I look around and see the streets are cold
So many stories that are never told
Young stars falling like a shooting light
Leaving behind the shadow of the night
Why the garden withers in the bloom?
Why the silence fills the empty room?
We searching for a reason in the fray
Trying to find a better way to stay
Oh, tell me why are the young ones dying?
So many mothers left behind here crying
We need to lift our heads and rise above
And fill this hollow space with deeper love
Yeah, we searching for the light of day
Wondering why the young ones fade away
Is it the system or the seeds we sow?
Is it the pressure that we undergo?
The concrete jungle traps the restless soul
But we are meant to play a higher role
We need to guide the youth with steady hand
Build a future on the solid land
Don't let the fire flicker out so fast
Make sure the spirit is built to last
Oh, tell me why are the young ones dying?
So many mothers left behind here crying
We need to lift our heads and rise above
And fill this hollow space with deeper love
Yeah, we searching for the light of day
Wondering why the young ones fade away
One love is the medicine we need
To plant a different kind of garden seed
If we unite, we change the tide tonight
Bring the darkness back into the light
Rise up, don't let the vision die
Look to the stars within the open sky
It takes a village just to raise a child
To keep the spirit calm and reconcile
Give them hope when they have lost their way
Turn their midnight into brand new day
We keep on walking though the road is long
Turning our struggles into a song
For every youth that we can help to save
We build a bridge beyond the lonely grave
Oh, tell me why are the young ones dying?
So many mothers left behind here crying
We need to lift our heads and rise above
And fill this hollow space with deeper love
Yeah, we searching for the light of day
Wondering why the young ones fade away
Yeah, why they fade away?
We gotta keep the light burning bright
One love, keep the future in sight
Jah bless, rise up
One love, f
