[INTRO — Acoustic guitar alone, melodica enters softly, Nyabinghi drums build, 8 bars] [VERSE 1 — ZIONA] Di children dem a cry inna di street again Madda hold dem close but she feel di pain Every night di news bring another war Wi ask wiself — what di music is for But I remember what mi grannie used to say Song is how wi carry through di darkest day When di word dem fail and di heart feel broke Music is di fire underneath di smoke [PRE-CHORUS — ZIONA] Wi nah fight with iron Wi nah fight with steel Wi lift wi voice together And wi make dem feel [CHORUS — ZIONA, backed by group chant] Harmony and peace... Is what wi come fi bring Harmony and peace... Hear di melody wi sing Every voice a stone Laid in di foundation Harmony and peace... Is di only revolution Harmony and peace... [VERSE 2 — ZIONA] From di mountain top down to di riverside From di broken heart to di one wid pride Wi all carry something heavy in wi chest Wi all searching for di same thing — fi rest But rest nah come from silence or from turning blind Rest come when wi choose fi free di troubled mind When wi look across di fence and see wiself And realize di neighbor's pain is wi own wealth [PRE-CHORUS — ZIONA] Wi nah conquer nothing Wi nah take no throne Wi just want fi live And not feel alone [CHORUS — ZIONA, crowd joining louder] Harmony and peace... Is what wi come fi bring Harmony and peace... Hear di melody wi sing Every voice a stone Laid in di foundation Harmony and peace... Is di only revolution Harmony and peace... [BRIDGE — ZIONA, intimate, almost spoken, acoustic guitar alone] Mi stand pon dis stage and mi look out deh And mi see ten thousand faces carrying ten thousand weights And mi want fi tell every single one of you Your pain is real Your struggle is real But so is dis moment So is dis breath So is dis song Wi nah give up Wi nah give in Harmony starts From deep within [VERSE 3 — ZIONA, building with full acoustic band] Plant di seed of love inna di hardest ground Even concrete crack when di root come round Wi been divided long enough by fear and by pride Time fi lay it down and stand up side by side Not because di world deserve it — maybe it don't Not because it easy — Lord knows it won't But because di children watching every move wi make And wi owe dem more than di mess wi about to leave in wi wake [FINAL CHORUS — ZIONA, full acoustic band swelling, crowd erupting] Harmony and peace... Is what wi come fi bring Harmony and peace... Hear di melody wi sing Every voice a stone Laid in di foundation Harmony and peace... Is di only revolution Harmony and peace... Wi nah stop singing... Wi nah stop dreaming... Harmony and peace... UNTIL WI FREE [OUTRO — Acoustic guitar alone, melodica fading, crowd humming along] Harmony and peace... Harmony and peace... Mmmmm... (Voice trails, guitar carries it home)
