lyrics

I'm walkin' about a road
Talkin' about the gold
At the end of this lonely road
I'm walkin about so slow
And stoppin' to look at snow (snow)
Hoppin' inside the shore (shore)
Lookin' at all the scores
Of heavenly sights in store (store)

Is this reality a paradox?
A sample b, to stare above?
You sharin' love, you care enough?
About humans, humanity, it's scarin' us
How it's rapidly and tragically
Transforming to insanity
And vanity
The tapestry of life has been stained black and see
Our actions we, be snappin' on each other
Army captains leave to smack some deep
Harrassment see when Afghans bleed
And Iraqis, Sri Lankans b, the Tamils bleed
And Somalis, East Africa, Italians had done captured see

Attackin people, but let's just have some peace


(Chorus)

Highway
Takin' off on and then
I say
That's when I see sun-
Rise, day
Brought upon us by,
Yahweh
And I pray for peace

Allah give me peace (x5)

Movin' about the sky
Too many people die
And mistakin' all the statements though
'Till truth is a bunch of lies
And I'm asking myself just why
And relax and remember ride
Through the sad in November, crackling embers
Highway of our lives


My GPS is set to reach a final destination, I’ve traveled for some time the road is just a test of patience.

Follow the signs and signals, trust the divine will bring you, guidance to help you on your path by meeting different people

It’s not enough to want it, you have to seek and find, request awareness for recognition of truth in time

You have the vehicle, the vessel that you’re breathing through, the openings you’re seeing through, aren’t all there is to me and you

They say life is a journey, it’s not a destination, so what’s your navigation, love and light or fear and hatred

The point I’m trying to make is the time is now to take the path of peace; the cheek on either side has to be turned adjacent

I’m not anti violence, nor am I anti war, I choose to say I am pro peace; that's what I'm driving for?

Your tires must be balanced; the road will push and pull, Love is the fuel source, make sure your tank is full.


(Chorus)

Highway
Takin' off on and then
I say
That's when I see sun-
Rise, day
Brought upon us by,
Yahweh
And I pray for peace

Allah give me peace (x5)

Movin' about the sky
Too many people die
And mistakin' all the statements though
'Till truth is a bunch of lies
And I'm asking myself just why
And relax and remember ride
Through the sad in November, crackling embers
Highway of our lives


You're a slave to lustful
Desires therefore
The poor are ignored
While you rule with bellies full.

I pray to keep my distance from the sickness of your soul.
'Cause greed is disease of the heart with no control

From Congo to Tibet
Palestine to Mozambique
The weak are often silenced for the freedom that they seek

But they won't accept defeat
Rather die standing
Than live on bended knees

Enslaved to the laws
Of a corrupt regime

Yeah we pray to live in peace
Awaiting for the day to see
All our children running free
But will that truly ever be?

Will we ever know?
Maybe when our soul
Travels deep to the unknown

Then we'll realize
There's another place to go
Depending on the deeds
Accumulated in this road

Reaping what we sow
The struggle of the self
Is like a preparation
For the next abode

Por isso eu tento
Sentir a Tua dor
Rimando pra alcancar
A Justica e o amor!

(And that is why
I try to feel your pain
Rhyming to establish
Justice & Love)


(Chorus)

Highway
Takin' off on and then
I say
That's when I see sun-
Rise, day
Brought upon us by,
Yahweh
And I pray for peace

Allah give me peace (x5)

Movin' about the sky
Too many people die
And mistakin' all the statements though
'Till truth is a bunch of lies
And I'm asking myself just why
And relax and remember ride
Through the sad in November, crackling embers
Highway of our lives
