Kabaka Pyramid - Borders

Each Human Being
Deserves a place to call their own
Yet so many have to journey
Far from home
Little children in the darkness all alone
Seeking freedom

Its about time we break those borders down
There's too much segregation
We're all a part of one nation
We need to break those borders down
There's too much sufferation
We're all one in creation yeah

How do you feel?
When you see those hungry faces
People of all ages
Locked up in ah cages
Without a home
Much less salaries and wages
Travelling for days in the desert to escape it
Only to get denied
By the ones weh shoulda rectify
Now the people get desensitized
To the refugees dem weh unidentified yeah
They deserve a place to call their own
Yet so many have to journey far from home
Little children in the darkness all alone
Seeking freedom

Its about time we break those borders down
There's too much segregation
We're all a part of one nation, yeah
We need to break those borders down
There's too much sufferation
We're all one in creation yeah

After dem selfish decisions
We're the one who suffer most
Political violence turn di whole ah we to ghosts
Di War on starvation
Knife ah hang up inna throat
Refugees overpopulation
Becomes the antidote
We deserve the earth as our home
Life is worth a living
Mr. World power
Break all the borders down
For the future children
Stonebwoy and Kabaka say

That they deserve a place to call our own
Yet so many have to journey far from home
Little children in the darkness all alone
Seeking freedom

Its about time we break those borders down
There's too much segregation
We're all a part of one nation, yeah
We need to break those borders down
There's too much sufferation
We're all one in creation yeah
How do you feel when you see those people starving

Digging through the garbage
While you're living lavish
What if life was a school without no classes?
Learning from each other
With no teachers or no bosses
Yet the system get intensified
And now the cities getting gentrified
Poor people existence denied
But the rastaman come 'ya so fi testify yeah

That we deserve a place to call our own
Yet so many have to journey far from home
Little children in the darkness all alone
Seeking freedom

Its about time we break those borders down
There's too much segregation
We're all a part of one nation, yeah
We need to break those borders down
There's too much sufferation
We're all one in creation yeah
