THIRD WORLD - You've Got The Power TRY JAH LOVE Music by Stevie Wonder Lyrics by Stevie Wonder and Melody A. McCully A lonely soul was I without direction I didn't know which way that I had to go I sought the clues to life's unanswered questions My mind's heart had to know I heard you call while wandering through the darkness I'd walk a million miles to find that endless voice That speaks to me when I am in temptation Echoing my choice Then you said, "Seek ye shall find I've been with you through all time" (Chorus "A") "And if you're thirsty I will quench you With my love And if you're hungry I will feed you With my word And all I ask of you is that you love as I do' (Chorus "B") "And if you lose your way I'll lead you To my love From a sinful life I'll cleanse you In my love For creation bears a witness of my love" (Repeat once) I know that (Chorus "C") You should know it's time for the world to (Try Jah Love) The only love that can bring peace is (Jah, Jah Love) So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love Love,Love,Love,Love I know that Without it there'd be no tomorrow (Try

Please Father please this world we live has faltered Deliver us from all this evil and pain God Bless the heart that loves unto his brother Praising out your Name Then he said, "Be not Afraid Those who believe I will save" (Chorus "A" -repeat) I wonder When will the world wake up and start to (Try Jah Love) People have to make up their mind to (Jah, Jah Love) So won't you try, try, try, try,

Lyrics by Stevie Wonder Jobless people starving babies spreading over the land More oppression to the have nots is how you play your hand More world fighting is the writing from those say they know And if that's true we know just who you'll be picking to go But the beat you are playing to what Jah is saying is wrong And we do recommend that you stop before it's too far gone And I just got to say You're playing us too close We in the ghettos You're playing us too close The jobless and the hungry You're playing us too close Filling up more and more with Frustration You're playing us too close We're losing our patience So take heed and do let it be known that I've told you today You're playing us much too close yea All the teaching of JAH bible you don't want to obey But you're writing your own ticket to the price you will pay Us you hold hock but the drawback is not to us alone Time will make you too a victim before you see the wrong And the melody that you are playing is in the wrong key For Jah's choirs that sings out to all live in world harmony And I just got to say You're playing us too close We in the ghettos You're playing us too close Red black white brown and yellow poor people You're playing us too close The babies are crying You're playing us too close Good people are dying So take heed and do let it be known that I've told you today Jah say you're playing us much too close Now when I was just a little boy my grandfather use to say to me, "Brother B, trust no shadow after dark... "It's not till I grew to be a man that I understand what the old brother was talking about. You see some people take the liberty to treat you any way they want to, they feel some times that you don't have no dignity. But brother fire de ah mus mus tail him think ah cool breeze, better watch out easy squeeze makes no riot my brethren You're playing us much too close, so why the Don't you people out there all get up off your backsides and do something for the worlds for every living boy, woman, man and girl. There's hungry people all over starving, have no place to lay their heads Huh Don't play us so close Don't play us so close Don't play us so close (Chorus during rap) Some a dem rap, none a dem a holler 'Cause Jah say all the musicians shall be there The players on instruments shall gather at His feet You need to raise your conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world We need to raise our conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world You need to raise your conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world (Percussion) We're gonna raise our conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world I'm gonna raise my conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world We're gonna raise our conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world You've gotta raise your conscious high So Jab Jah Love can rule the world I'm gonna raise my conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR MOVE (MELT WITH EVERYONE) By William Clarke Why do the birds sing songs To warm a heart of love for you each day? Why do the breeze blow so strong To prove the power of love is here to stay?
