This is RAS Mikey C's newest single that questions the ways of our thoughts as humans in this vast universe.

lyrics

In the eve of the night we pray and we pray, for some guiding light to come and take us away and how many time to we have to say Oh Jah please let me see another day

As we feel the pain again and again who knows when we’ll have to face the end. There’s a stain as the rain fades against the wind and I just don’t know where time begins to blend, Father forgive us for our sins, so we can make amends.

-Tell me why when we wake we see such sign of hate
When we know
that to love is the only way
to save our human race
To unify, the self we have to contemplate
So Don’t watch no face and Judge not
Cause the Almighty is the ruler of your fate-
If you believe-

Theres no mystery as to why there so much misery
in this humanity, wickedness is bread
know your history and let go of your vanity
Is what the good book said

Its time that human kind recognize the turning tides
Or the story shall repeat if we don't realize and let love rise (x2)

-Tell me why when we wake we see such sign of hate
When we know
that to love is the only way
to save our human race
To unify, the self we have to contemplate
So Don’t watch no face and Judge not
Cause the Almighty is the ruler of your fate-
If you believe-

Now the evil still conspire to divide the tribe
Just keep your trust in the Most High and he shall provide, the strength to survive, we shall alive, no matter how try to take our life

When we speak of peace, tell me what does that mean
And how can we achieve, when we fighting over air to breath
As we chop down trees and raging wars over seas
to build democracies is this Hypocracy,

-Tell me why when we wake we see such sign of hate
When we know
that to love is the only way
to save our human race
To unify, the self we have to contemplate
So Don’t watch no face and Judge not
Cause the Almighty is the ruler of your fate-
If you believe-

Tell me why we wake to so much hate, in this human race, when one life we chase
Cause the Almighty is the ruler of your fate
If you believe-
