The Ancestors Are Watching

THE ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING
THE ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING...
EVERY TRANSGRESSION AGAINST THE EARTH WE MAKE...
EVERY TEAR WE CAUSE OUR BROTHERS TO SHED...
EVERY CHILD NEGLECTED...
EVERY FAMILY TORN...
THE ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING...
AND THEY KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS, IF WE DON'T FOLD
GIRT UP OUR LOINS, FIGHT, PRAY, LOVE...ONE ANOTHER
SHE WEEPS FOR US, REFUSE SLEEP FOR US, LIKE A WOMAN IN TRAVAIL, THERE'S NO CONSOLING HER, NO REASONING WITH HER
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE...
WEEPING AND WAILING, AND GNASHING OF TEETH
OUR SPIRITS BROKEN, COMMUNITIES BROKEN, OUR CHILDREN'S DREAMS BROKEN LIKE STARS ACROSS THE SKY...
PUT US BACK TOGETHER AGAIN, O LORD
BIND US AGAIN ONE TO ANOTHER, STRENGTHEN US WHERE WE'RE WEAK, SO WE CAN SHINE BRIGHT LIKE THE CONSTELLATIONS, ORION'S BELT, THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR EYE...
THE TWINKLE OF YOUR EYE, O LORD
MAKE US OVER AGAIN AS A PEOPLE BECAUSE...THE ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING, OUR ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING...
BUT ALL IS NOT LOST, PRAISE THE MOST HIGH...
BUT ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN BECAUSE YOU'VE PLACED ETERNITY IN OUR HEARTS TO SEEK AFTER YOU...
THESE CHAINS CAN'T HOLD ME NOR WILL THEY...
WHAT A GIFT FROM THE ANCESTORS...FREEDOM...FREEDOM TO FREE OURSELVES...
FROM OPPRESSION, DEPRESSION, POVERTY AND LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY...FREE YOURSELVES...FREE MYSELF BABY BECAUSE...
THE ANCESTORS ARE W A T C H I N G...
THEY SEE WHAT LIES AHEAD IF WE DON'T TURN AGAIN, INWARD, TURN AGAIN TO ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE WE ARE TRULY ONE...
ONE PLACE, ONE PEOPLE, ONE WORLD UNDER THE SUN
BIND US TOGETHER O LORD, STRETCH US FORTH ACROSS THE HORIZON SO YOUR PEACE CAN LIGHT THE EARTH...
YOUR LOVE SHINE BRIGHT LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE SKY...
UNITY IS WHAT I REQUIRE OF THEE...
MY PEOPLE, MY SONS, MY DAUGHTERS...
MY PEOPLE, MY SONS, MY DAUGHTERS...
THE ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING...PEACE
