The World Should Know Lyrics


Burning Spear The World Should Know

[Refrain]
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?

[Chorus]
The dead make none, the weak make few
The strong make many, the world should know
The dead make none, the weak make few
The strong make many, the world should know
The world should know, the world should know
The world should know

[Verse 1]
I have seen the light, the light of consciousness
I have seen the light, the light of of equality
I have seen the light, the light of justice
I have seen the light, the light of consciousness
[Refrain]
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?

[Chorus]
The world should know, the world should know
The world should know
The world should know, the world should know
The world should know

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
One for all an' all for one
One for all an' all for one
What about the people who live over there?
What about the people who live over here?
What about the people who live nowhere?

[Post-Verse]
Who feels it, who feels it knows it
Who feels it, who feels it knows it
Pressure, pressure
[Refrain]
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?

[Chorus]
The world should know, the world should know
The world should know
The world should know, the world should know
The world should know

[Bridge]
Rise up; rise up, people, rise up
Be brave; be brave, people, be brave
Speak up, speak it up, people, speak up

[Refrain]
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?
There is enough for one an' all
So, why should one man want it all?

[Outro]
The dead make none, the weak make few
The strong make many, the world should know
Rise up; rise up, people, rise up
Be brave; be brave, people, be brave
