Lyric

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
