Lyrics: KOKEN
Music: KOKEN
You’ve been my guard from the start
We’re all playing our part, a river of love
A community heart, a sustainable path
We’re all standing as one
Yeah, we all branded us, individuals standing as one
The ethics of love standing above
We bound together and there’s more to be done
But if we’re supporting each other there’s a war to be won
Cause we’re stronger together and more equal us
With honor and tradition, we’re ignoring the fuss
We're all the same race if you're born knowing love
We won’t win it alone; we keep forging the blood
Cause it takes a village to raise a child
But a child’s heart is what’s important to us
So, it’s society that really give us a home
I guess it all comes down to the spirit
Cause if you’re able to raise others up its your mission
Some people don’t see, and some don’t have vision
But if we’re working together everybody’s winning
You’ve been my guard from the start
We’re all playing our part, a river of love
A community heart, a sustainable path
We’re all standing as one
I guess the world gonna change
When it all feels normal but it still feels strange
Connected in the struggle but we still call names
Cause we'd rather reputation than stating a claim
It’s time to think about the future we’re all in
Probably check your facts than your cheques when you’re balling
I ain’t mother earth but it hurts when she’s calling
So, as a man and a son it’s on me when she’s bawling
It’s kind a simple when you think about it
If you’re alive, you survive on your surroundings
And if you breathe then you’re like me and one with mountains
Cause we are the trees, the seas and the fountains
We are the dreams we are the loudest
We are the screams of our family around us
We are the change and the face of one
We are Akashi, tradition and love
You’ve been my guard from the start
We’re all playing our part, a river of love
A community heart, a sustainable path
We’re all standing as one
