A song celebrating the power and love of the people in a time of oligarchies.
lyrics
(Verse):
People,
Everywhere good people
Living as people do,
The best we can.
People,
All the while just people,
Learning as people will,
One day at a time.
People,
We put our trust in the people,
Listening as people can,
With all our hearts.
People,
We give our love to the people,
Loving as the people should,
With all our souls.
(Chorus):
We the people will stand together,
Together in freedom,
Freedom in our minds.
We the people will stand together,
Together in freedom,
Freedom in our hearts.
We the people will stand together,
Stand together in freedom,
Freedom in our souls.
We the people will stand together,
Stand together in freedom,
But never freedom alone,
Never alone.
(Verse):
People,
Everywhere good people,
Recognize we the people,
Got us here and now.
People,
All the while just people,
Except we are the people,
Of one love and one mind.
People,
We put our trust in the people,
Because we are the people,
Beating with one heart.
People,
We give our love to the people,
Loving we the people,
With each of our souls.
(Chorus):
We the people will stand together,
Together in freedom,
Freedom in our minds.
We the people will stand together,
Together in freedom,
Freedom in our hearts.
We the people will stand together,
Stand together in freedom,
Freedom in our souls.
We the people will stand together,
Stand together in freedom,
But never freedom alone,
(Ending):
We The People Will Stand together,
We have to be a pauper of the people,
No prince of men,
We The People Will Stand together,
We have to give a hand to the people,
No more destruction,
We The People Will Stand together,
We have to learn to live with the people,
No more hating,
We The People Will Stand together,
We have to realize we're the people,
No more us or them,
We The People Will Stand together,
We are the people!

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."
