Joy And Peace - Common, Bilal

For his goodness and for his wonderful works

Unto the children of men

If my people will lift my name tonight

I will come in!

I will be exalted!

I will be glorified!

I will be lifted up!

Welcome him in tonight

Can’t you feel him?

Yes, yes

There is liberty

Open your heart tonight

Welcome him in, put them hands together

Fellowship, joy and peace

All praise to the all-eye seeing supreme-being

Giver of joy and peace, love supreme freedom

See him in your son, see him in the daughters

The mountains, the waters, all divine order

The king unseen, one dream that I had, I was talking to my dad

He said, «Things ain’t as bad as they seem»

Is this a God dream the way 'Ye sing it?

The dream seemed to go on as the day lingered

The meaning of life, you can’t frame or name it

True stars remain like the name of David

Niggas get foreign cars and think they made it

It ain’t yours 'til you create it

In the image of the beneficent, merciful, universal, versatile

My verses go 'til Heaven and Earth become reversible

Christ particle, so anything is possible

Fuck big brother, father, mother, God is watching you

And I want the joy, joy

And I want to know the peace of mind

I’ll make a way, a way to see

Through it all and all, living for joy and peace

Still in awe in the night when it hurts

And your bed feels like snow, there’s a joy in the rain

In your heart, there’s a way

Turn your light on, turn your light on

Turn your light on, turn your light on

Turn your light on, turn your light on

Turn your light on, turn your light on

Turn your light on, turn your light on
