SoulAviv: Music
We Need Love
(SoulAviv)
SoulAviv member Jamie Green wrote this song for a solo project, but when we heard it, we loved it so much that we demanded she let us make it a SoulAviv song also. It's about the power of love, kindness, justice and freedom.
In a place far from heaven
In the genocide
A woman holds her children
And she's terrified
But her spirit is stronger than
Any persecution man
She needs freedom…
On a sidewalk in winter
In the greatest city
A man lies on the pavement
Tryin' to keep his dignity
While we dine by candlelight
He goes hungry every night
He needs kindness…
Now I do not believe
In what the small-minded say
That when a southern black church is burned down
God meant it that way
And I do not believe
That there's nothing I can do
That the problems in the world are insurmountable
When I know I can
Grab a hammer, lend a hand
Go and feed the homeless man
Help the lost reclaim their land
Lift my voice and take a stand
Now don't you know it's true?
I say we've all got work to do
We need justice - We need kindness…
We need freedom - We need peace…
We need love - I am love…You are love…
It's all up to you - It's all up to me
It's all up to us...
