They're coming from the houses and they're going to the hillsides, to grow food for the nation and food for themselves, job creation
2.	Wholesome Dub 05:25	lyrics	buy track
Let's keep on building those foundations for a lasting community for my unborn child I feel this is my duty, to work with society and change their perspective, so that our visions are their visions and their ways get neglected. Sustainability is the cruciality, I'm asking only what the Earth can give me, don't deny tomorrow's child the beauty you enjoy today, it's got to stay!
3.	Morning Star 06:28	lyrics	buy track
I hope succeeding generations will be able to be idle, I hope that nine tenths of their time will be leisure time, that they may enjoy their days on the earth, and the beauty of this beautiful world. That they may rest by the sea and dream, that they may dance and sing , and eat and drink. I will work towards this end with all my heart. (Richard Jefferies - The Story of my heart , 1883)

Just as I thought it would be, it was just as I thought, people screaming as they cut down the trees and the police just looking on. Just as I thought it would be, it was just as I thought, people marching in solidarity and the press don't report a thing. Just as I thought it would be, it was just as I thought, politicians talk of unity but they don't listen to what we're saying. Just as I thought it would be, it was just as I thought, truth and honesty are stronger than lies and the truth comes shining through.

I don't care about your fences, they were put there as defences, to keep out the poor and the hungry, and enslave us in your culture. I don't care about your culture, it has taken away my freedom, and I shall fight all my life to be one person, to be one person in one world, to be one person with one love, to be one people all together fighting for freedom.

8.	Peaceful Protest 05:27	lyrics	buy track
In the days of justice, long long ago, no one man was judge, no-one was judged. These days are long gone, they are the sap of the trees, swimming in waters, floating in the breeze. Do you now see justice, do you seek revenge? Draw your forgiveness from long long ago. Justice will be served, have a little faith. Don't live in fear, lend an ear, the righteous aren't enslaved. Peaceful protest, NVDA, non-violent Peaceful protest, surely is the way. See how they run to the mountain tops, see how they run. See how we fly high high high, See how we fly. Understand the anger, realise the pain, suffering is in danger of damaging your brain. Pro-activeness not re-activeness is release enough from this. Happy in heart, never apart, together totally bliss. Peaceful protest, justice is on our side today.
9.	Reclaim the Streets 07:36	lyrics	buy track
We feel at liberty to speak our minds, we feel an urgent need to honour truth. We see the homeless people on the streets, we see the system failure and we have proof. We feel that nature's laws are not respected, we feel this disrespect is criminal. We know that Mother Earth is suffocating, we know the law maker's don't care at all. The land is ours, the land is yours, the time is now, truth is law! Reclaim the land, reclaim the streets and houses, reclaim the land, reclaim the hills and valleys!
