Akala - Another Reason Lyrics
feat. Megan Quashie[Verse 1:]Water cuts rock, so which has more force?Because as water shapes the land,It's still willing to change it's courseSo those who can't even change their own mindsUsually change nothingCan't ever blame your own mind?But in failure, hides opportunityIn divided communities still residing is unityWaiting to show itselfSoon as we're willing to see itThe truth is always thereSoon as we are ready to be itSo we can keep pretendingWhat is real is just the sensesBut it is all the same whenYou are looking with stronger lensesSo concerned with imagesBut it's there in the wordsImages are just imaginationAnd that is what is so absurdHave you heard the Pig now knows it's fat?And the Zebra is confused because it's white and it's black?So what is fact right and exact when everything changesSo change the way you look at the worldThe world changes[Hook:]Instead of reasons to die, find a reason to liveInstead of reasons to fight, find a reason to giveInstead of reasons to talk, find a reason to singInstead of reasons to take, find a reason to bringInstead of reasons for I, find a reason for weInstead of reasons to try, find a reason to beInstead of reasons to look, find a reason to seePeople, I am pleading, find another reason[Verse 2:]We are so busy noticing money don't grow on treesWe forgot that food doesAnd that it's the food that we needYou see, I done traveled all over the islesAnd seen the poorest peopleWith the wealthiest smilesSo what is Rich or Poor, Less or More?What's victory? What's defeat? And who keeps the score?Who sleeps more soundly, the Prince or the Pauper?Who speaks more profoundly, the Professor or just the talker?The walker or the driver, who travels the furthest?The explorer or the pirate, who is providing a purpose?Who decides what is worthless, versus what has a purpose?Did the so-called civilized world not think the world a flat service, just yesterday?So, who knows what tomorrow brings?It often is the oddest of songs that tomorrow singsLook back through the ages, everything changesSo change the way you look at the world,The world changes.[Hook:][Breakdown:]We find all these reasons,To never be the person we want to beBecause I'm still healing,All these wounds that are burned,So deep inside of me.[Verse 3:]We think that we're smartAnd that makes us dumbThink that we feel the mostAnd that makes us numbWeak because we think that we have the powerBecause we can make buildings and guns,But not a single flowerWe are just waves but think we are the oceanBecause it's easier then admittingWe don't know where the current is goingWe are just flowingWhy do we feel it needs controllingA wave just rolls with the ocean until it reaches sandSo let's roll with our part, until we reach our landAcknowledge that the fear in our hearts, is in our handsIt's not a thing, we just think,Imagine the Earth decided that it was afraid to spin?So don't be afraid, to sing with your voiceThat is what it is forThe more we run from the truthThe closer it gets to your doorLook back through the ages, everything changesSo change the way you look at yourself,Your self changes[Hook:]
