Song lyrics!!

k'naan: In the Beginning

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!

.

Suspicious he moved

with vicious caution

Dismisses,

he thinks is a little often

People get held back

by the voice inside 'em.

.

The voice said,

I'm poised to speak inside you...

"Rejoice then ...please let me invite you

...To evil, greed and lies too."

.

Confused and dazed

he moved in ways

he soon became kuuna

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

.

A knock on his door, his heart is no more

A knock on his door, his soul is no more

.

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 greed

.

Thats got him there

he's power-hungry,

and proud too

.

People dont care, people just stare

People don't care, people just fade...

.

But then you know what they say

.

They say-

it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark

in the eyes of the youth

there are question marks

like FREEDOM

freedom for the mind and soul,

we don't see them

see them for their worth at all,

thats why we lead em

lead em to these wars

and what is it we feed em

feed em our impurities

and who it is we treat em

treat em like the enemy

humanity will need em

need em like the blood we spill

and we're freedom

freedom for the hearts we fill

we mislead em

they hunger for the love we give

but we cheat em

the 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 him

and he believes

in the disease that hes heathen

Put 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..

.

yeah

.

and we keep holdin' on,

and we keep bein' strong...

and we keep goin' on

and on and on and on...
