Story Behind The Song

While playing with a reggae band for a short time, I learned to appreciate the spirit and vibe that reggae embraces. Plus, reggae has proven to be a powerful delivery system for social conscience messages...and...well, I had a few things to say.

Song Description

Upbeat, reggae style-based groove with social conscience lyrics, all with an underlying jam-rock spirit.

Lyrics

VERSE:
With so many people living together
you'd think we all would understand
we cannot hide or turn our face from those who hate
one peace, one love, one holy land

CHORUS:
Did you ever think just once
that the problem lies somewhere in yourself?
Did you ever think just once
that the answer lies deep within yourself?

VERSE:
I can't relate to each and everybody's fate
I can only hope to learn
'cause fear is how I find us fighting now
we must communicate and appreciate our
sacred vows

CHORUS:
Did you ever think just once
that the problem lies somewhere in yourself?
Did you ever think just once
that the answer lies deep within yourself?

BRIDGE:
Deep within yourself, you never know what you might find
Just ask yourself the right question and
oh, you never know what you may find inside

VERSE:
We can become a miracle of one
we just have to learn to take a stand
against poverty, and all the ills that
plague us with the war and greed
I just hope the children understand...

CHORUS:
Did you ever think just once
that the problem lies somewhere in yourself?
Did you ever think just once
that the answer lies deep within yourself?

REPEAT CHORUS, INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO, END
