Young and we didn't wanna be exposed Even though it was cold We were never wearing proper clothes Always trying to be cool Trying be those bad guys smoking cigarettes behind the school Always trying to be cool Trying be those bad guys, you know I still think about what we had When we were younger We were never running out of time As long as we had each other Everything was black and white Driving in a car, never knowing how far we'd go When we were younger When we were younger I remember a girl I would sneak into her parent's house I could stay for hours And we looked into each others eyes Hey, I thought I was Romeo I was looking for my Juliet And as soon as I left I told my friends Those days made me who I am When we were younger We were never running out of time As long as we had each other Everything was black and white Driving in a car never knowing how far we'd go When we were younger When we were younger When we were younger We were never running out of time As long as we had each other Everything was black and white When we were younger

We had the same dreams No one saw what we could see We were younger We were younger Life in black and white Became colorful and bright We were younger When we were younger I've been living like that I've been loving like that All I ever wanted was something real and honest I've been tripping like that Sometimes I lost my head Nothing that I wanted, but it had to happen 'Cause some things never change We're feeling out of place Our hearts still beat the same From Berlin to LA The same stars we are under Like when we were younger Like when we were younger Moving on and looking back Holding on to what we have And the ocean is between us I'm looking at the sky As the years are passing by Like the colors of the leaves Are changing the streets, and I've been tripping like that Sometimes I lost my head Nothing that I wanted, but it had to happen 'Cause some things never change We're feeling out of place Our hearts still beat the same From Berlin to LA The same stars we are under Like when we were younger Like when we were younger I'm looking at the sky As the years are passing by I'm looking at the sky Like when we were younger 'Cause some things never change We're feeling out of place Our hearts still beat the same From Berlin to LA The same stars we are under Like when we were younger I'm looking at the sky Like when we were younger As the years are passing by Like when we were younger

Try and remember now just what has been done Enslavement, displacement of every nation And now to one nation Everyone hold their grudge Kinda makes me wonder 'bout which side I'm on Don't defend the white and I don't defend the black I defend truth and rights and all of that Work on situation, where I'm at Hold my position, never fall of track Nah, give up my faith! Though Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my days Rasta courage Go against society, Rasta courage Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my days Rasta courage Go against society, Rasta courage I never give up no good vibes And I never give up no truth Never trade my sanity for living in Babylon crew Vanity will never drive this man insane This man will walk alongside Jah again We see all of the pressure to conform today And I may sometimes bend but only as not to break 'Cause a life of iniquity for laziness' sake Is a deal with the devil, Rasta just can't make No, give up no faith! Though Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my days Rasta courage Go against society, Rasta courage Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my days Rasta courage Go against society, Rasta courage Looking back now upon all of the evidence 400 years and what dem years have really done We talk of peace, but at the first sign of war Brethren ain't brethren and sistren ain't sistren no more Without forgiveness how will any war cease While the heathen rage, rastaman sitting at ease No one will move a muscle for some moral justice And with no justice, well, there will be no peace No, give up no faith! Though Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my days Rasta courage Go against society, Rasta courage Babylon rage! I'n'I will strive until the end of my da-a-ays! Rasta courage Go against them, go against them Well, I nah give up no faith! Though Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my day-ay-ays Rasta courage, the end of my days Till the e-end Yo! Looking back now upon all of the evidence 400 years and what dem years have really done We talk of peace, but at the first sign of war Brethren ain't brethren and sistren ain't sistren no more Without forgiveness how will any war cease While this heathen rage, rastaman sitting at ease No one will move a muscle for some moral justice And with no justice, there'll be no peace!

Ayo, faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights Things will never be the same Old doors close, new doors opening The life we led in the past, we've got to rearrange People treat life as it is a game Work hard to change the people's mentality The way the world is going now, it's insanity Live the life you love and don't go on so greedy Help the children to grow up and things will change speedily with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights Hit the street and give a hand to Those you meet who need your speech to Lift their feet to rise and drag themselves from the mud Be discreet so you won't ever meet defeat For Jah will seat, we won't retreat And Babylon can't come out on top Faith without works that is death When you work, you breathe hard so I and I give thanks for every breath I only fear is Jah judgment Try your best to live upright so that you don't End up in hell with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy, and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights If a hawk can fly and show its love With songs of praise and giving thanks Along 395's polluted ten-lane highways And if a man like twice your age Can clean your house for minimum wage And still somehow greet life with a big smile on his face Then why can't we just show respect For all things with no neglect and realize That love it is the only way? Then why can't we accept the fact we're lucky We need to give back, we're foolish for not Humbling ourselves every day with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy, and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights
