paroles de chanson Gonna Make It - Mike Love

Everywhere I been, I been learning how to get to wherever I am
And where I am is where I'm going and I'm going to the promised land
I don't always know my direction, but in faith and Love I overstand
That if I ask up for guidance, I'm guided by the almighty hand
And every time I'm feeling inspired, I take my guitar in my two hands
Jah Love is all that I man require to reach that holy Zion land

And I won't let them take it away, no I man, I won't be led astray
And I don't need to ride nobody's coattails, and I don't need no one to hold my hand
I'm gonna make it on my own two feet
I'm gonna make it on my blood, sweat and tears
I'm gonna make it, not gonna fake it, no way

They said get a degree but it wasn't for me
Higher education of the Almighty through music, teach me Love, teach me to use it
All I ever wanted was to spread Jah Love, and the only way that I could rise above was music
Sweet Jah reggae music
So every note I plays is to give praise, that's why I play guitar and I sing
And I wouldn't trade these blisters on my fingers for no diamond rings
I sing just for the Love of Jah music, to lift you up when you are tattered and worn
And if I sound a little bit hoarse it's cause I been singing since the day I was born
And I just wanna sing a little bit more, and I'm sure that you can feel me
Don't need you to know just where I'm coming from, but I need you to feel me
So take it and make it your own song

And don't you let them take it away
No don't you let them lead you astray
You're gonna make it on your own two feet
You're gonna make it on your blood, sweat and tears
You're gonna make it, not gonna fake it, no way

I will never sell my soul to them, so many already givin' in, dem a caught up in confusion
Suffering delusions
All this dirt that we been digging in
Searching for something that we will never find

Oh mankind we can't let them take it away
We won't let them lead us astray
And we don't need no president to lead us
And we don't need no general to take a stand
We're gonna make it on our own two feet
We're gonna make it on our blood, sweat and tears
We're gonna make it, not gonna fake it, no way

Can you feel me, my heart pumping in my chest
Can you feel me, oh people please say yes
I need you to feel me, this is the real me, the reason I'm singing, the Love that I'm bringing is pure, unfiltered for sure
Cause in my mind I saw a vision of peace
Every man, every woman, every child, one family
All singing together in one perfect harmony
It's not so far away, we're gonna make it someday
