Praise on High 4:29

I took a walk across the island
I met a man and he was smilin?
I told him it just wasn?t right
When people were caught in a fight
He opened his eyes, turned his head
He looked at me close and he said

Give praise on high
For everyday we?re livin?
And be thankful for
Everything we?re given

I said he didn?t understand me
With people struggling just to be free
There?s war and there?s violence around
Distrust and hatred abound
Our brothers and sisters in chains
The world is just going insane ? he said

Give praise on high
For everyday we?re livin?
And be thankful for
Everything we?re given

Give praise on high
For everyday we?re livin?
And be thankful for
Everything we?re given

What is the answer ? what is the question
Why is suspicion running high?
Liberation ? what is the source
Confusion ? charting the course
Of the road to the dream of tomorrow
Where will this lead?

I felt my words were forsaken
Their meaning clearly mistaken
I got up and shuffled away
Preparing to meet a new day
But echoing around in my head
Were only the words that he said

Give praise on high
For everyday we?re livin?
And be thankful for
Everything we?re given

Give praise on high
For everyday we?re livin?
And be thankful for
Everything we?re given

For the earth and the sun and the sea
And the stars and the food
That we eat every day
For the people we love and the
Herb that we smoke
The things that we do every way

Give praise on high
Give praise on high

Give praise on high
For everyday we?re livin?
And be thankful for
Everything we?re given
