My Opinion

First of all I thank you Jah for the beauty of life And for the spiritual strength in my moments of strife I thank you for the Bible, like a compass it's my guide So I won't get lost or left (No way) By the way side Although I've lost my dread, I haven't lost my sight And until my day of rest, I will follow your light I will fight against injustice, hypocrites, parasites and sodomites And over evil I will win with the truth and the right My name is Pato Banton This is my opinion My name is Pato Banton And this is my opinion I do not hold no prejudice for any other nation As far as I'm concerned we're all a part of God's creation Like dog a dog and cat a cat a human is a human So there should be no prejudice because of one's complexion There should be no prejudice because of one's religion For every man has got the right to make his own decision I don't just talk to every man but also every woman Understanding gives you knowledge but the fear of God is wisdom Wisdom is the compass that will show you the direction Towards the light of Jah and away from all illusion My name is Pato Banton Me born and grow a England My name is Pato Banton And this is my opinion My name is Pato Banton Me born and grow a England My name is Pato Banton And this is my opinion Sometimes I cry for my people in South Africa Depressed and persecuted by apartheid law Under the rule of a mass murderer Who goes by the name of Mr. Botha With tears in my eyes I look to the skies And wonder how long must my people suffer But just like Malcom X and Martin Luther King Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela My dream is for all men to live as brother So all freedom fighters, let's sing together Woe Mr. Botha Free up South Africa Woe Mr. Botha Free up South Africa This is my opinion This is my opinion This is my opinion This is my opinion You see In a world so full of hate crime and injustice What we need right now is love sweet love So won't you come and sing this song with me right now What the world needs now is love sweet love No, not just for some but for everyone This is my opinion
