In the Beginning Lyrics
In the beginning
there was a hum
from a poet whose pulse fell
DRUM DRUM DRUM!He would perform prayers and all
till one day he heard a voice call
COME COME COME!Sus'pi'cious he moved
with vicious caution
Dismisses,
he thinks is a little often
People get held back
by the void inside 'em.YO!The void said,
I'm poised to speak inside you...
"Rejoice then ...please let me invite you
...To evil, greed and lies too."YEAH!Confused and dazed
he moved in ways
he soon became "Hakuna"
BOOM BOOM BOOMA knock on his door, his heart is no more
A knock on his door, his soul is no moreYeah...
That was in the beginnin'
As the story goes on...So -The poets got a proposal
he would always hope but never know
what it feels
to be free
He would be the frozen
imposed as the chosen,
all laws oppose him
But it would be greedThats got him there
he's power-hungry,
and proud tooPeople dont care, he will just care
Evil don't care, he will just prayer...Yeah
That was In the beginning..there was a hum...then things changedThey say-
it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkin the eyes of the youth
there are question markslike freedom
freedom for the mind and soul,we don't see them
see them for their worth at all,thats why we lead emlead em to these wars
and what is it we feed emfeed em our impurities
and who it is we treat emtreat em like the enemy
humanity will need emneed em like the blood we spill
and we're freedomfreedom for the hearts we fill
we mislead emthey hunger for the love we give
but we cheat emthe guys beat him and all he wants
is his freedom,so they defeat him,
whatever spirit hes got"beat him"and they teach him
the rest of the world dont need himand he believes
in the disease that hes heathenPut up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -That was in the beginning...
then things changed..yeahand we keep holdin' on,and we keep bein' strong...and we keep goin' onand on and on and on...
