Something Greater

Edwin Yearwood

Verse 1
I'm a drifting stranger
In the land of the not so free
Where there's never care for a weary soul
In a reckless society
Where a poor man can't have equality
Or his offspring, a bright morrow
And the fight takes toll on the tired bones
Leaving almost nowhere to go, (no no) ohhh

But we must keep tumbling and fighting on
Cause I made my discoveries
That we cant ever seem to realise
Man's his own greatest enemy
A lion is only a threat to man
When man crosses on his domain
But a man will always be cruel to man
And that way will never be changed

(CHORUS)
So I must believe
(That there's something greater than me)
To keep up the fight I just got to see
(That there's something greater than me)
Take your head out the clouds and look til you see
(That there's something greater than me)
Jail me wrongfully and I'll still be free
(Cause there's something greater than me)


Verse 2
Man still tries to separate
His own brothers with class and greed
Upper class, middle class and lower class
With the lower following lead
Separation shows like a sore thumb
And is present, rapid and fast
Man on dying bed need’s a donor's blood
Does he request a certain class? (no no)

But now who am I just to wonder off
Passing judgement and kicking fuss
Because death is a crucial part of life
When man returns to nothing but dust
Now I wipe my tears and I stand to face
Smiling off that class and greed game
Cause when rich and poor convert back to dust
That dust texture remains the same

(CHORUS)

Verse 3
My description of drug pushers
Make them out to look just like we
But can drugs slip in through a tight system
Without any authority
Cause small flies like we distributing it
And taking life without mercy
Take a nice trip to any system yard
Do we look like authority? (no no)

Religions crying religions down
Leaving youth to feel so confused
False prophets counting the pulpit’s gain
As religion is fully abused
While world leaders seemingly more concerned
For their own good welfare and bliss
Try to hide the truth from the whole wide world
Racism no longer exists
