“Despite these dark times, the conflicts of daily life, and the concrete and technocratic jungle of city living, single mothers, community givers, and many inspiring people continue to rise in truth, light, and love – they are warriors!”
This song is full of beautiful harmonies and deep roots reggae grooves to uplift and hold strength during
difficult times. WARRIOR is produced by David Lines (Montreal, Canada), Alkaman Productions (Medellin, Colombia), and Auresia herself (Montreal, Canada).
The power of this music, with the messenger lyrics crafted by Kristine Gosselin and Auresia, aim to encourage people to continue holding on to love and shining their light. That love is being reflected into the coldness of the city, the frozen hearts of people, and those that feel alone against the world shines through in this WARRIOR song.
lyrics
You’re a Warrior
Livin’ inna city dealin’ with di grind
Trying To find a place to rest my mind
The pressure of time, Confusion and strife
There’s so much more than this inna life
Watchin’ the youths hustle a dime
Or work a 9-5- on the grind, blind to the rhymes
Do you have time, to find peace of mind
And hold onto love
You’re a Warrior
You’re a Warrior
I the Warrior
I the Warrior
I the Warrior living in these walls
Break them down with a solution
Opportunity through education
Stay strong in your foundation
And you will never fall
Standin’ so tall
Lose the illusion
Raise your vibration in every situation
You’re a Warrior
You’re a Warrior
You’re a Warrior
You’re a Warrior
Coz it can be a brutal world where greedy man try to run us
Rise up and stand firm in good will and righteousness
Empowerment resides in the choices we make,
And change comes from the actions we take.
Keep on striving and shining for our liberties
You got to recognize and share your gifts and abilities
Unify together coz you know that love heals
Connect with Jah Almighty and you’ll be set free.
I will be no slave to the system
Meditate to keep my mind straight
For the lies they propagate will only suffocate
And with them rules and the youths
will have to find another way.
Now we can see, through the hypocrisy
now we can be, warriors of humanity
Warrior
Rebel Warrior
You're Warrior
Natural Warrior
I the Warrior
Righteous Warrior
Freedom warrior
Fearless warrior
What will take for us not to make the same mistakes?
What will it take for humanity to finally awake?
