Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Power and glory
Blessings for the earth
Not for some but for everyone
[Verse 2]
And there should only be gladness and yes
Instead of a sadness and yes
All over this wide world
Wide world
[Verse 3]
For life was all one glory and
You've scattered the glory
You scattered the one less astray
Hey hey
[Verse 4]
After you
We're given the power
To do, Jah works and will you
Misuse the power and glory
Hey hey
[Verse 5]
Doing
Thing you conceived after fulfill
Your earthly desires
You leaders have misused the peoples rights
Church and state
[Verse 6]
King of armies flee the best
And be a based
While shant they who tarry at home
Is dividing the spoils
So now
That power and glory
Is being taken away
From  you
Do you know, do you know
What I mean
Hey hey
[Verse 7]
For why do so few have so much
Hey that there's enough to waste
When are so many ardent ones
Hey hey
[Verse 8]
Leading nations
Are wasting their monies on wars
And on implements of wars
Kill off one another
Hey hey
[Verse 9]
Why, upset you yourself and all your evils
While you're killing off one another
Hey hey
[Verse 10]
Why do you waste the fullness of this earth
Witness here for a song
You misuse the power and glory
Hey hey
[Verse 11]
My eyes
Have seen the glory and I
Chant down the story that I
That I, yes I have seen
Hey hey
[Verse 12]
Jah works, Jah works
They are complete
They so complete
[Verse 13]
So you
Who gain the power will have to
Use it wisely to bring
The pieces altogether
Hey hey now
[Verse 14]
To fit the puzzle together
Gonna have to be so wise
So wise
In your every works indeed
So I chant out
To all for coming leaders
Are the struggle for one
Use the power wisely
Hey hey
[Verse 15]
For righteousness
Will exhault
An old nation
Yet sin and folly will break down
Any building thats built upon it
Hey hey now
[Verse 16]
Xenophite
Surely won't get you no where
Surely won't get you no where
Well no
[Verse 17]
There should only be gladness
Instead of this sadness
