Oh, rise up now Marvin Mwansa the radical voices, down in the line of history and memories of love, all my world great family of potential brothers and sisters
It's a sermon for the people, for the soul
On the move soon to victory, as it is ours to claim hallelujah hallelujah
Jah bless the soul that seeks the truth, in the land of the living, such is our earthly mission
Come gather round the table of the wise
Look past the shadows right into the skies
There is a message echoing through the wind
To heal the heart and cleanse away the sin
We walk this path of stone and heavy sand
Looking for guidance in a broken land
But listen close to what the spirit says
To brighten up your dark and lonely days
It’s a sermon for the people, for the soul
To keep the fire burning and make us whole
One love, one heart, let the message ring
Listen to the gospel that the heavens bring
It’s a sermon for the people, for the soul
To keep the fire burning and make us whole
One love, one heart, let the message ring
Listen to the gospel that the heavens bring
Yeah, they build their towers reaching for the clouds
While forgotten voices scream inside the crowds
But justice flows just like a river deep
For those who sow in tears and truth they reap
Easy now, let the ego fall away
We find our strength in how we choose to pray
Not in the buildings made of wood and gold
But in the stories that the righteous hold
It’s a sermon for the people, for the soul
To keep the fire burning and make us whole
One love, one heart, let the message ring
Listen to the gospel that the heavens bring
It’s a sermon for the people, for the soul
To keep the fire burning and make us whole
One love, one heart, let the message ring
Listen to the gospel that the heavens bring
Oh, open up your mind to see the light
Turning all the shadows into bright
It’s the wisdom whispered in the calm
Giving every weary heart a balm
Oh yeah, feel the spirit move inside
There is nowhere for the truth to hide
So walk with kindness everywhere you go
Let the fruits of peace begin to grow
It matters not the color or the name
We are the embers of the same bright flame
Rise up, stand tall, let your spirit soar
We don't need to fear the dark no more
The sermon is written in the way we live
With all the love that we have left to give
It’s a sermon for the people, for the soul
To keep the fire burning and make us whole
One love, one heart, let the message ring
Listen to the gospel that the heavens bring
It’s a sermon for the people, for the soul
To keep the fire burning and make us whole
One love, one heart, let the message ring
Listen to the gospel that the heavens bring
One love, yeah
Rise up, the sermon never ends
Keep your faith strong, my friends
Jah bless, oh yeah, walk in light the great on the move Marvin Mwansa...
