Music In My Soul


There's music in my soul today,
A joy of heart not there before:
This state of conscience I relay
To rich and proud and meek and poor.


There's music in my happy Soul:
From Heaven's realm doth truly flow
This music in my happy Soul,
My conscience tells me riglitly so.


My song of joy I sing to you:
Let peace and love forever be
Among ye men of every hue,
Of every land and charted sea.


I crave no other fortune great,
But joy to live in peace with God;
My hopes are fixed on His Estate,
In faith so true as prophets had.


This music in my soul today
I spread in truth with love unfurled;
On waves of cheer it goes, I pray,
To reach around the belted world.

Written by Marcus Garvey (1887-1940)
