I woke up this morning, smiled at the rising sun.
Your life is worth much more than gold.
Whose the cap fit, let them where it.
Before pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean.
Well, it grow together. It's like, first time I try to write a song is the first time I try to play the guitar. And so I can write a song without the guitar. But it really grow together. I really like stay with my guitar. But it just happen, is the inspiration come through man. Because, I personally, it look like, could I write a whole heap a tune, it look like. But I pick special tune to write. Cause a man can think of plenty things. Yuh know wah ah mean.
Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face.
Why not help one another on the way..makes it much easier
Let righteousness cover the earth like the water cover the sea!
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion, and rules all creation!
God, guide and protect us. When we're wrong, please correct us.
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom? 'Cause all I ever have… redemption songs; redemption songs.
A hungry mob is an angry mob.
Facts an' facts, an' t'ings an t'ings: dem's all a lotta fockin' bullshit. Hear me! Dere is no truth but de one truth, an' that is the truth of Jah Rastafari.
All those governments and this and that, these people that say they're here to help, why them say you cannot smoke the herb? Herb... herb is a plant, you know? And when me check it, me can't find no reason. All them say is, 'it make you rebel'. Against what?
