Joy and blues
Joy and Blues (repeat 3 times)
Here we are in this ocean Between life and death and truth and lie Between rich and poor and sick and cure Between joy and blues (joy and blues)
Here we are in this ocean Between light a day and dark a night Between nature and destruction Between joy and blues (joy and blues)
Choose well and make sure you don't lose Do what you gotta do 'Cause if it's money you put down It's only money you could lose Choose well and make sure you don't lose Pick your choice - choose well 'Cause when your life is on the line It's only life you can lose Alright
We have the potion To clear all evil notion Putting these words in motion I refuse to give joy to blues Tell me why should we live between joy and blues
Choose well and make sure you don't lose Do what you gotta do 'Cause if a money you put down It's only money you can lose don't you know Choose well and make sure you don't lose Pick your choice - choose well 'Cause when your life is on the line It's only life you can lose Joy and blues (repeat 2 times)
Solo
Here we are in the big blue sea Between faith and trust and hypocrisy Between wants and needs, between joy and blues Here we are in this ocean Between fantasy and destiny, between quality and quantity Between joy and blues, between joy and blues Between joy and blues... (repeat)
Choose well and make sure you don't lose Do what you gotta do 'Cause if a money you put down It's only money you could lose Just choose well and make sure you don't lose Pick your choice - choose well When your life is on the line, your life is on the line Your life is on the line, only life you can lose Choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose Choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose

Brothers and Sisters
I am my mama's son You are your father's child Sometimes we act as if we hate each other A different faith, different state of mind That don't mean we all can't be satisfied
We are all brothers and sisters (repeat)
Some are black and brown Others white and light That's the difference I can remember
A different face, a different kind of smile That's what we see But this we must realize
We are all brothers and sisters (repeat)
Earth is my mother, there is no other So for you, so for all of I Don't look me with a scorn In time mankind was born So for you, so for all of I Love must live, hate must die Don't draw no line, don't you be so blind
We are all brothers and sisters (repeat)
I am no stranger in your town Rasta seed is all around So when you are looking at me Don't think I am your enemy
I am your father's son You are your mama's child Sometimes we act as if we hate each other A different faith, a different state of mind That don't mean we all can't be satisfied
Brothers and sisters we are all Brothers and sisters all and all (repeat)

Everyone is happy tonight But not because of your world And how could there be any fight In such a Conscious Party Everyone is happy tonight But not because of the world And how could there be any fight In such a Conscious Party?
No booze to lick our head Now we can't lose in life way No booze to lick our head Got to stay a light in darkness And everyone is happy tonight But not because of the world It's not because of the world And I know there'll be no fight In such a Conscious Party
