Forward Lyrics by One Drop

Black Book Diaries

2012

Forward, we’ve got to move forward
We’ve got to move forward, we’ve got to move forward

Today’s world a catastrophe
It’s a sign of the return of His Majesty
We’re in a global sinking economy
And our church seats are sitting half empty
The earth shook Japan and Haiti
Reshaped coastlines with tsunamis
So much tension in the world all around me
No more teachers of peace like Gandhi

We’ve got to move forward, We’ve got to move forward
We’ve got to move forward, We’ve got to move forward

Unemployment everywhere I look
But the government bailed out the corporate crooks
And took away our prayer in school
So who will teach the youth about the truth, teach the youth about the truth
We’ve got global warming and deforesting
And oil in our water thanks to BP
Too many problems at home with the family
So kids come to school and start shooting

We’ve got to move forward, We’ve got to move forward
We’ve got to move forward, We’ve got to move forward

Rebel wars in Africa are killing daily
Same with wars in Mexico and the Middle East
With race hate in immigration policy
It motivates illegal human trafficking
So I get on my knees and I pray
That we learn from our past mistakes
To save souls on judgment day
But we have to start today, we have to start today

We’ve got to move forward, We’ve got to move forward
We’ve got to move forward, We’ve got to move forward
