"Greed" lyrics

"Greed"

This world, no, it's not perfect
But what you see, reflections of the soul
Born of pride and ego

Imagine our world like this
A world of love, a world of peace
Just imagine it

Jah send out the human being
With all our wants, with all our needs
Must live within Earth's means

Pure temptation surrounds we
Offering us riches and paradise
As lion surrenders
Leaving the mission of human rights, Jah!
Oh Jah, oh Jah, oh Jah!
Our days are numbered, yeah

I alone am dreaming
To give is better than to receive
Still Iya dream, a dreaming
Things are not what they seem

So, life begins a noble one
Before the surprises and all the confusion
Only Jah alone in I heart and meditation
No thought of who I am, only that I am
So far from greed, wo-oh!
Greed

You may never know what you could do to help someone
Just because you take it all you say to each his own
To each his own, to each his own
To each his own, to each his own

Oh, I'm sure you greedy dog
You have enough but still you want more
And everybody takes time to mention
You could fill your cup and pass it on for sure

Imagine our world like this
A world of love, a world of peace
Just imagine it

Jah send out the human being
With all our wants, with all our needs
Must live within Earth's means

Life was good but far from great
So, to complete the task the question must be asked
A witness to come and sense many dimensions
So, Jah created man, only to spoil his plan
Him turn to greed, wo-oh!
Greed... tell them Jah!
