Under Pressure - Trevor Hall

Blessed are the strong

Let us sing long

Sing beyond right, Darling, sing beyond wrong

Sing beyond the walls, oh the walls that we build

‘Cause this time it’s shoot to kill

So let it bless our lips, let us only speak of hope

Lay the rhythm down, Darling, this is how we cope

We follow melodies, swallow up the seven seas

Watch it grow like trees while we hold on to the rope

Drifting in the current as it flows through dreadlocks

If they close the door, well, we continue to knock

Dancing with our hands to the ceiling, this is such a sacred feeling

I’m believing that this song will never stop

The lineage is callin', friend of the fallin'

People running round but now there’ll be no more stallin'

Because the book has been opened and the called few are chosen

Now its time to break the clocks

Under pressure, under pressure

The world is comin' in cold

But I’ve got some magic to melt all the stone

Under pressure, under pressure,

But baby we can’t lose,

‘cause oceans and flavor, they sing from this room

How can we go down when were bathing in the sound of the great souls

Come tenfold

Fire on the tongue as we’re drinking from the sun

It ain’t no evil, I’ve been told

Words are the arrow, song is the bow

Rhythm is the hunter and it shoots for my soul

Heart is the mirror, eyes the window

Gaze upon the most high, come fly home

I know the stars hold an ancient secret

Ash on my skin, well, you best believe it

Born of a holy tribe, now it’s either do or die

Which way you wanna fly in this concrete jungle

Don’t forget about the roots

Never fallin' down—we hold the parachutes

In this age of darkness we cling to truth

They water the leaves, but we water the roots

Under pressure, under pressure

The world’s comin' in cold

But I’ve got some magic to melt all the stone

Under pressure, under pressure,

But, baby, we can’t lose

‘Cause oceans of flavor they sing from this room

Under pressure, under pressure

But we say bless go round

Come rise like a lion, take shelter in sound

Under pressure

Under pressure
