(Chorus):
Give usPeace,
Peace is what we need,
Give usPeace,
For all humanity,
Give usPeace,
On every city street,
Give usPeace,
Love is the only key!
(Verse):
Jah Jah children open your eyes,
Soften your hearts... rise above the lies,
How many more brothers have to die?
There is war, war and rumors of war,
Nobody knows what the fighting is for,
Destruction leads us by the sleeve.
(Chorus):
Give usPeace,
Peace is what we need,
Give usPeace,
For all humanity,
Give usPeace,
On every city street,
Give usPeace,
Love is the only key!
(Verse):
Star people tell me can you hear,
Would you care to lend me your ear?
We must stop being ruled by fear.
There is ONE LOVE and that is all we need,
It's up to us to plant the right seed,
For what we sow that's what we'll reap.
(Chorus):
Give usPeace,
Peace is what we need,
Give usPeace,
For all humanity,
Give usPeace,
On every city street,
Give usPeace,
Love is the only key!
Pop pop pop there goes another innocent soul,
It wont stop as long as fear is in control,
As log as our number one priority is our bank roll,
Our big house, our new whip, and who won that reality show,
Zombies all I see are walking dead,
They look alive but they dead inside,
Let the days go by like talking heads,
Puppets of television,
With no vision,
Blinded by hate,
Fueled by historical fiction,
No one is free of sin,
Better change the man within,
Don't matter if your Jew, Christian, black or white or muslim,
I n I dont expect to be justified by the laws of men,
So open your third eye and let his love come pouring in,
Search for the truth inside ya,
Make it your soul desire,
Chariots of higher fire rise above just like elijah,
Let's teach our sons and daughters,
Better than our parents taught us,
Love is the only key,
And peace is what we need!
(Chorus):
Give usPeace,
Peace is what we need,
Give usPeace,
For all humanity,
Give usPeace,
On every city street,
Give usPeace,
Love is the only key! (Repeats)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (Repeats)

The Akasha sound gives birth to an unmistakable variety of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of The Skatalites, The Maytals,
Heptones, Desmond Dekker and The Wailers.
"Akasha excels at conjuring up memories of reggae’s heyday, hewing close to its stylistic conventions while stretching out enough to incorporate many of its various strains and mutations."
