SOJA’s powerful lyrics challenge oppressive systems and advocate for a new, conscientious era, rich in awareness and accountability. The song critiques historical and ongoing injustices, such as wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam, environmental disasters, and the abuse of power by authorities. By asserting "Truth and right is yours to control now," the band calls for a collective awakening and empowerment of individuals to break free from past lies and exploitation. There's a clear divide between harmful practices of the past and a hopeful vision for the future, emphasizing a paradigm shift towards justice and sustainability. The recurring mantra, "We will never do what they have done," underscores a commitment to learning from history's mistakes and striving for a more ethical and equitable society under the moral guidance of a higher power, symbolized by "Jah's sun."
