There is more to these days
And I want you to know
'Cause we're writing the future like writing a show
As the earth it must turn
And the trees they must grow
Just beyond that horizon
A mountain of hope
See we comin' through your cities
With our stories to tell ya
We're reaching out
You wanna join us?
We'll let ya!
To tell the truth it's kinda hard to forget ya
When One Loves' the movement we're all included
Gotta lift, gotta run, gotta earn, gotta burn, gotta learn
That there's one rhythm that we're livin' in
For what good is it
If we don't fit in
And what truth is there to keep us real?
They're foolin' around with ya fire
They think it's hot (hot)
But we take it hotter
They be knockin' down ya doors when they can't be sure
Well now they know you're not alone
We wont take it no more
We wont take it no more, ooh-oooh
(Now you know)
We wont take it no more
We wont take it no more, ooh-oooh
Yo, and now you know
In the moment of truth, there must come a decision
To sit back and hide, or grab hold of this vision
If we don't then we're never gonna fly
How could you know if you're never gonna try?
There's no reason to doubt when we're willing to listen
If we screw up this earth, we shall not be forgiven
Leaders joke but we're running out of time
Still they don't want to step up to this line
So come with us walking from shame toward glory
Inspiring the youth to jump in on this journey
Desiring the proof that our children are learning
To respect the world as the earth is still turning
We're faced with a reason to unite
Hearts pounding in the rhythm for the time is nigh
When a promise is made then it must be delivered
They've seen our breed, we wont concede, believe it
When they come bearing guns we make a fuss
If they nah gonna give love then they're not with us
Say the world must be hard, the world is tough
And you might know something, but it's not enough
So one day I'll call you on the telephone
Next day I be screaming down the megaphone
Well, today I spread da word pon dis microphone
It won't be long, my word is strong
Give love
We wont take it no more
We wont take it no more, ooh-oooh
We wont take it no more
We wont take it no more, ooh-oooh
Who-hoo-hoo
Who-hoo-hoo
Turn up that music and turn up that beat
Turn up that radio, rhythm concrete
You sing for freedom and we'll sing for peace
Turn up that music, turn up that beat
Yeah
Ah listen
We all got our role to play in this destiny that is our future
A world without war, without hate, without poverty
And if somebody's telling you that we don't deserve it
Don't take it!
Don't take it!
We wont take it no more
We wont take it no more, ooh-oooh
(Yeah, oh, now you know)
We wont take it no more
We wont take it no more, ooh-oooh
