9/11: Sweet Justice
My life is so easily separated into before 9/11 and after 9/11. I imagine this to be a too true statement for many. But sometimes there’s no need to adlib. Jill Scott’s “Sweet Justice” helped me whenever I would ask why or forget.
Take a listen and take in the lyrics. Truth is happening all around us, even and especially in this wondrous piece of music.
Verse 1
Sweeeeeeeeet Justice
Climb the Mountain
Though your hands maybe weary
Swim the ocean
Though your legs maybe tired
Run the extra mile
Though your stride maybe worn-down
Fight, Fight, Fight
Never surrenderChorus:
Sweeeeeeeet Justice (repeat 1X)verse 2:
Many sides to the same face
Searching, wanting their hour
So many colors in the spectrum of life
With right lies the power
Struggle, Struggle, Struggle, Struggle
Struggle only makes a man stronger
If he believes within his heart then he can find it
He will find itChorus:
Sweeeeeeeet Justice (repeat 1X)verse3:
Freedom the epitome of life
Lay your down your burden soldier
Study, study war no more, no more
Trust the soul that thrives within you
Hold strong to your faith
Continue, Continue, continue on, onChorus:
Sweeet Justice
Sweet Sweet Justice
Sweet Sweet Sweeeeeet Justice
Sweeeeet Justice
