Yah you know,

How excellent is thy name through all the earth

Only the most high King Selassie I, Jah

Rastafari lives and reign in the honor of all flesh

Beauty of the earth, Ok

Yea you know it all Sizzla Kalonji

with love for you live in living colour

gash (why can't we live in love and harmony) gash

(what I ask) That's just what I ask


CHORUS

When are people gonna live in love and stop from fighting

(love love love) ahh ahhh

Why can't people see theirself as brothers and sisthren

(why can't we just get along)

If you're not your brother's keeper what can you say to me

If you're not your sister's keep then you must be my enemy


There is a wide world with a whole lot of people

Some doing good and some doing evil

Still the most high give them food for all season

Still the sun, moon and stars shine for a reason

To see the world in love I'm so anxious

I love the Black roots and the Black consciousness

All those who have confidence in yourself put your hands up

Jah could destroy this earth in just one touch (what I ask)


CHORUS

When are people gonna live in love and stop from fighting

(love love love) ahh ahhh woo ooh oooh

Why can't people see theirself as brothers and sisters

(why can't we just get along)

If you're not your brother keeper what can you say to me

If you're not your sister's keeper then you're my damn enemy

(you must be my enemy)


When I say live in love that's the truth

Remember Moses' law eye for eye tooth for tooth

How you fi have your own child yet destroy another youth

Bongo man me tell you righteousness is the root

Love another as you love thy self

No war no strife don't you hurt thy self

Just be conscious and search thy self

Burn the fire and purge thy self (what I ask)


CHORUS

Why can't people live in love and stop from fighting

(love love love) ahh ahhh oooh

Why can't people see themself as brothers and sisters

(why can't we just get along)

If you're not your brother keeper what can you say to me

If you're not your sister's keeper then you're my damn enemy

(you must be my enemy)


Wow so stay in touch and keep communicating

No hate no grudge no separating

When we can live and reason to resolve the problem

That's the greatest thing yah ah ah ah (what I ask)


CHORUS

When are people gonna live in love and stop from fighting

(love love love) ooh ooh ooh ooh ahh ahhh
