Текст песни Know Your Past - Morgan Heritage & Cat Coore of Third World

What does it profit a man to gain the world
And lose his soul?
If you don′t know where you're coming from
You don′t know where you're heading, past, present, and future

Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes
Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes

History can recall, it can recall
The true essence of ourselves which we have lost
Trying so hard to attain for the future
We have let go what has kept us since creation
But through the Divine powerhouse of life
We'll know past, present, and future

So many of us have gone astray
Chasing dreams which only fade away
Ignoring the blood, sweat, and tears of our forefathers
Breaks the connection to our ancestors
We must all have true awareness of self

Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes
Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes

Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes
Every man must know their past
So we can stand firm in the future, yes

Stand firm, stand firm, stand firm
