The latter will achieve peace within yourself and the former will achieve peace within the world. Marley’s resolution to ending these conflicts? He places unity among people in an equal position as praying and praising God. His idea was that only innocent people are suffering due to no fault of theirs. He does not fail to mention this in his lyrics: “Hear the children crying.” In this case, it is not necessarily only the children who are affected by these conflicts. Only unity can bring about peace among people.īob Marley penned these lyrics during a severe internal turmoil in Jamaica. Marley’s message is that division into different factions create conflict among people, and most of the time these factions are imaginary.
