None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.

Life is one big road with lots of signs,
So when you riding through the ruts,
Don't you complicate your mind
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality

They will always want to control you forever.

Redemption songs.

You just mentioned Bob Marley —  I can remember when I was in college, listening — and not agreeing with his whole philosophy necessarily, but raising my awareness of how people outside of our country were thinking about the struggles for jobs and dignity, and freedom.

Don't gain the world and lose your soul
Wisdom is better than silver and gold.

The people who are trying to make this world worse are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness.

Truth is the light
So you never give up the fight.
