Pontifex - Soul Meta lyrics

[Verse 1] Dear World, what are we so afraid to face Love takes risk, so we seek a more comfortable place Look me in my eyes shake my hand, let's know each other One human family, one people, my sister, my brother Look me in my eyes, know me, not my prototype Love takes risk it's so much easier to feed off hype To just draw lines around you, put you in a box and lock it Think I got you all figured out, and put you in my pocket We define each other by preconceived notions We know all there is to know but it's a pebble in the ocean Fear drives the train as the world grows more hostile Why are we swayed by anchors & actors & not the Gospel To admit I don't know everything & that I need to turn To put love above else, seek wisdom and discern That's where the real lessons are learned The only antidote to the poison is radical love Put down our guarded hate filled hearts & seek what is above Noisy gongs and clanging cymbals is all they hear Only love can answer the questions Who am I? and Why are we here? [Hook] Born for such a time, put in on the line Heart of the city Time to come together soul meta Soul of the city [Verse 2] 50 years later we gonna still march on Till love and respect of every person is the norm Born or unborn color creed to be respected Hate and anger sell news we just choose to redirect it These for profit storms are not free at last Burn ua careless trail and then dash for the cash And leave us in the trenches to fight some battle Cowboys at the rodeo I guess we're just the cattle Lead, follow or get out the way, that's what they say So put me on the frontlines to pray With a cross on my shoulder the size of the Hanco*k Love is the answer, it's our banner and we can't stop And the world spins on We got a press on, think for ourselves and be strong Cause in the end, love's the one that remains We gonna stand arm in arm, & maintain, maintain [Hook] [Verse 3] You were born for such a time So raise the banner of your love as high as you can Peace and justice is found in the unity of every man Hate speeches, rhetoric to divide must cease Stand with your convictions and truth in a spirit of peace The fruit of the spirit is love and else is just vain babble Soul Meta, change the heart, change the mind & win the battle [Hook]
