Lyrics
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the infinite to you
Peace
Peace
Peace
The plight of a nation
Likened to insect migration
Families homes and lands subject to devastation
And from one tyrannical leader these humans travel the distance
To be met with a population full of ignorance
Unloving and callous
Tongues filled with malice
Tearing people down further in their darkest hours
And those who are passive should rise to the challenge
Open up your mind
Find a way to counter balance this inequality
Because if truth be told and truth be faced
Why put up these barriers
Why implement this hierarchy
Like predator and carrion
If truth be told and truth be faced
Why put up these barriers
Why implement this hierarchy
Like predator and carrion
Rooted in reality
There’s reasoning to give wings to the seeds
If you’re rooted in reality
There’s reasoning to give wings to the seeds
If you’re rooted in the concrete a new lease of life is needed for your leaves
Our ancestors have born the weight of persecution docks to forest greens
And we will bear the fruit of wisdom passed down generations
Set them free
Set them free
Strangers from afar
Come in from the storm
Shelter in our home
Find a place to dwell
Share your story so that we might understand
And we’ll weave strong ties with a peace to counter all despair
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Peace
Peace
Listen
Are you my friend or my enemy
Is curiosity the reason why you’re staring in my face
or is it jealousy
See people fear what they don’t know
I think they’re scared to trace their legacy
For fear of losing pedigree
Pure bred?
I don’t think so
So you were born here?
You’re not as British as you think bro
Sisters too, I can’t leave you out
I’m saying open up your mind
All that ignorance just leave it out
So many better things to think about
Than in or out
I suggest we try a different route
Cos we all talk with our mouths
And see through our eyes
Think with our minds
Tell me why the divide
Tell me why the hard feelings
I don’t understand the reason
Back in the day
Brits was breaching and thieving
Murdering, deceiving
And now you want to moan
Because somebody’s made a home
And their family are eating
You’re reaching
On that note
I’ll be leaving
Good evening
