I adore this song! It could have been angry, bitter, or despairing, but instead it is a song that really does lift your heart and hopes.
I had the good fortune to catch Eddy Grant playing the midday slot at a festival last year: in the space of just a few songs, he had turned a field of a couple of hundred hungover grass-slugs into several thousand dancing maniacs with grins like pianos. I saw The Prodigy and Rage Against the Machine that weekend too. They were awesome beyond belief, and yet, as hard as I find this to believe myself, Eddy was even better!
