Positive Effect -

I Can’t wait

Till freedom comes

And life will be so dear

I can’t wait

Till the darkness goes

After all these years

There’s a light on the horizon

And darkness starts to fade

And all the shadows lose their deep dark corners

Reveal what was in their shade

There’s always reason for complaining

But there also comes a time

When people put their hands together

And resolve all nations' crimes

What we need is some positive effect

Something real to reinforce our self-respect

Do you feel the effect is quite direct

What you feel when you put your hand in mine

If we agree that we’re all equal

Then why infringe on another’s rights?

Abuse their power and their magnitude

Do they believe that right is might?

Just to feed the greed of the corporate industries

They declare a permanent state of war in their ministries

Do they believe the people of the world dont see the discrepancies?

«Spread democracy» is the word, but the truth is malignancy

What we need is some positive effect

Something real to reinforce our self-respect

Do you feel the effect is quite direct

What you feel when you put your hand in mine

What’s their justification

For the destruction of these nations

For all the killing, and billing, and banking, and spilling

Takes us one step back in humanity

And one step forward in primitivity

Free Palestine, free Iraq right now

It’s the only way we can advance anyhow

Let’s join our hands together, put these words into effect

Let’s return to the world its self-respect!

What we need is some positive effect

Something real to reinforce our self-respect

Do you feel the effect is quite direct

What you feel when you put your hand in mine
