In this crucial time that we’re living in

We got to lift them up and pierce down to the heart of the matter yeah

We got to Love them and teach them to reach for Mount Zion

Children of the heart, Jah bless you

And though the devil may try to come tempt you and test you

Don’t turn your back on the vampire

A simple warning to all of my people, yo

This is a desperate and dark hour

‘Cause round the corner there

It’s madness everywhere

I know you’ve seen your share of violence too

Brothers killing brothers

Sisters broken, twisted

Products of a broken system you know so

Run come quick, you better run fast to Daddy

We got to teach them to reach for the heights Iyah 

We got to lift up their hearts to Mount Zion

‘Cause only truth for the youth is a must, Babylon

So let the sheep sleep and wake up the lion

And run come come, you better come quick to Mommy

‘Cause there’s a fire on the mountain burning bright

We’re gonna have a revelation tonight

So run come quick, you better run fast …

Remember

Seems like I been digging this hole my whole life

How long I been stuck in this cell, I can’t tell

Don’t need someone to help me, just need someone to tell me to wake up and take responsibility for myself

I need to break these habits I formed, when I was a young man

Take this Love that I’ve found, make a new game plan

I’m gonna take flight into the light, never gonna go back

To the dark side, I’ll swallow my pride

Apologize for all that 

Oh Great Spirit, carry me home

I’m so near it, but it feels so cold

I know the pieces of the journey gonna make me whole

Tap me into the veins of this Earth, show me what I’m worth, Jah

I been such a stupid, self-centered jerk, I’m ready for rebirth now

I’m so close to the bridges of faith, but will they hold my weight now?

I got so much here on my plate, I don’t wanna waste no 

I got this question burning inside

I been searching for the words I can’t find

I know the wai ho’ola gonna calm my mind

I’ll take my soul to the water and I’ll wash me clean

Now I am a part of the river, it’s flowing inside of me

It’s flowing inside of me

And I am further than I’ve ever been

But I am so close to my home

Feeling a power that I’ve never known

All my years I’ve carried this stone

Will you carry this heavy weight now?

Can you carry this heavy weight now?

And this feeling of being alone

Brother man now it’s time to remember 

Don’t you know it’s time to remember?

Now I’m ready I’m coming home

I’ll put my soles to the embers and walk and not fear it

Now I am a part of the fire, it’s burning in my spirit 

It’s burning in my spirit

Seems like I been digging this hole my whole life

How long I been stuck in this cell, I can’t tell

Just don’t even know where to start, to tear this prison apart and break these chains off my heart

I need an axe, a hammer, I need a sword, a scepter, I need a pen and paper

And while I’m in it just give me a minute to play my guitar

Oh Great Spirit, I’m writing this song, come help me along Jah

I’m so near it, the Love is in the Earth

I’m buried in the dirt now 

All this knowledge I hold in my soul, help me to unfold it

And to focus the truth of my heart, filter out the bullshit

And tap me in to Love

Help me rise above

Oh my brother, what has become of you

You’ve been slacking and slipping through the cracks of this life

Remember, remember 

Know that we’ll sit and laugh as friends

In the beginning and the end of this life

Remember, remember 

Don’t worry, don’t be afraid

‘Cause life is too short to make it feel long

So don’t drag it out, keep moving along

And if you get stuck, well who gives a …

Funny how things, they just fall into place

When you watch for the signs and give thanks for the space

On this beautiful day, I just wanted to say that I’m thankful to be alive

Humble

Humble, humble, humble

Go check your ego man before you stumble

There is no need to grumble 

For Jah is guiding your way

Let Jah light shine through you

Be an example in everything you do

And goodness will follow you

All the days of your life

Fire, let it burn away your greed, devour your desire

Bow down low before the Father and He will lift you higher 

For the man who praises himself will live a life of despair

To take credit for Jah gifts is to be a liar

See every man and woman got this opportunity 

To take this life and do Jah right and live it upfully

Listen brothers and sisters cause it’s so easy

Just Love everybody

And free from pride and jealousy, your heart and soul shall be

No more negativity, only Jah livity

And let your body become part of the river flow 

Realize within your heart is all you will ever need to know

And if ever you are afraid to face the day

Oh let Jah be your shepherd, He will never lead you astray, no way

Humble, humble, humble

Go check your ego man before you stumble

There is no need to grumble 

For Jah is guiding your way

Let Jah light shine through you

Be an example in everything you do

And goodness will follow you

All the days of your life

‘Cause faultless never gonna manifest unless you realize your faults

And for goodness’ sake never make your head so big you topple and fall

‘Cause useless are your loose lips against the word of the almighty Jah

You’re never gonna break the spirit of Rasta

‘Cause they may never know, they may never see, Mount Zion they may never never reach

But the chosen never choose when Jah Jah uses them to teach 

Oh it could be you, it could be me, it could be anyone at all

But you better be ready to answer when Jah Jah call

And don’t take it personal if your brother man judges you

‘Cause only you and Jah know the reasons why you do what you do 

And he is probably acting out of some insecurity

So just give him all your Love and reflections of purity and surety 

Humble, humble, humble

Go check your ego man before you stumble

There is no need to grumble 

For Jah is guiding your way

Let Jah light shine through you

Be an example in everything you do

And goodness will follow you

Oh well all the rest of your days go by and you’re still living in fear

The hours turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into years

How much longer will it be before the truth is crystal clear?

How many more oceans will we fill with tears?

We are children born out of an infinite trinity

With Mother Earth and Daddy Sun and child humanity 

So how can we go on living so disrespectfully

We got to protect our precious family

So please be careful what you choose

We’ve got everything to lose

Before you judge, walk in somebody else’s shoes

You just might change your views

Cause only through poverty can you know true wealth

And only through the eyes of others can you see your true self

So look in the reflection do you like what you see?

This life is such a blessing, give Love and be happy, be happy and 

Humble, humble, humble

Go check your ego man before you stumble

There is no need to grumble 

For Jah is guiding your way

Let Jah light shine through you

Be an example in everything you do

And goodness will follow you

All the days of your life

Live it up

For Jah is guiding, yes Jah Jah is guiding 

For Jah is guiding, yes Jah Jah is guiding

For Jah is guiding, yes Jah Jah is guiding

For Jah is guiding your way

Blue Skies

Jah watereth the garden where the flowers grow

And life everywhere depends on that alone

To keep the river flowing so that life can bloom

Ask and He shall provide inside of you

For His Love is like an ever-flowing endless stream

And to enter Mount Zion you know you got to be clean

So purify your heart of hearts and I and I shall never part

For only Love can bring us back together as one

Connect with the Earth, the stars, the Moon and the Sun

So look to the skies, realize what them clouds signify

Jah Jah time has come, oh Jah Jah time has come

Blue skies up ahead

But Lord send I some rain instead

‘Cause my crops have all gone dead

And I man well unfed

Blue skies up ahead

But Lord send I and I some rain

‘Cause my crops have all gone dead

And I man well unfed

Oh underneath the surface life is waiting to emerge

The seeds of truth and righteousness will soon converge

On a desert that has been dry for 10,000 years

A land of pestilence, deceit, concrete and fear

For soon the wicked man will have no place to run

For the revelation of Jah children has begun

The roots will pull the skyscrapers back down into the earth

And we will celebrate the joyous rebirth

Of blue skies up ahead

But Lord send I some rain instead

‘Cause my crops have all gone dead

And I man well unfed

Blue skies up ahead

But Jah Jah send I and I some rain

‘Cause my crops have all gone dead

And I man well unfed

‘Cause when the river is dry and the temperature is high said I man don’t cry, I man don’t cry

I just say a little prayer ‘cause Jah Jah is everywhere and He hear I and I, yeah He hear I and I 

So no matter where you go, all you have to do is know that He will guide you, He will guide you

So put your heart into His hands and become part of the greater plan and He’ll see you through, He’ll see you through

And in the morning we will gather hand in hand

And watch as Babylon melt into the sinking sand

From the mountain we will sing a song of peace and Love

Singing the glories of Jah Father up above

For Love shall reign upon the Earth forever more

And the kingdom of Jah Jah will have an open door

For anyone with Love for all inside their heart

I and I shall never part, I and I shall never part

Blue skies up ahead

But Lord send I some rain instead

‘Cause my crops have all gone dead

And I man well unfed

Blue skies up ahead

But Jah send I and I some rain

‘Cause my crops have all gone dead

And I man well unfed

Leaders Pt. 2

Where’s all the leaders?

Come out of hiding

Where’s all the teachers?

We need you now

To all the healers

This is a calling

This world is slipping into darkness

Temptation

We’re living in a world of temptation

So don’t give in

Don’t let them lead you astray

Never let them change you, no way

We’re living in a world of illusion

So don’t give in

Don’t let them get to your head

Turn you into the walking dead

‘Cause it’s oppression television from channel one to one thousand 

All they need is this one toy to keep you in your La-z-boy

And look how they’re promoting guns and violence

And they’re glorifying gangsters, whenever they get a chance

And they make serial killers into movie stars

Raise your hand if you don’t have one, in my house I’ve got four

And on the Disney channel there’s a shootout, cartoons getting capped now

What are they teaching our children?

And on the shelf in every toy store, it’s army men, guns and swords

There should be an enlistment form included

We’re living in a world of temptation

So don’t give in

Don’t let them get to your head

Turn you into the walking dead

Yeah ‘cause this dangerous power of lust is everywhere, this vanity fair

Spun round by crack cocaine and heroin, prescription pills to draw you in

And look they’re teaching our children drug education

They show them what the drugs look like and where they all come from

They even tell them whether to smoke it, inject it or swallow

The only thing that they don’t show them is where the money flow

And on every corner there’s a strip club, hookers getting picked up, pornographic peddlers, making a killing

Any kind of degradation, just for some compensation, anything for a dollar if you’re willing

And you wonder where these perverts come from

And you wonder where these predators, these rapists and these child molesters come from

We’re living in a world full of temptation

But do you have the strength to resist them?

So easy to fall victim to addiction

But so hard to see through the illusion

So run, run, turn your eyes and run

Oh Lord there’s nothing left here for us to hold on to, all that’s left is to start anew, so turn your eyes and run

We’re living in a world of temptation

So don’t give in

Don’t let them lead you astray

Never let them change you, no way

We’re living in a world of illusion

So don’t give in

Don’t let them get to your head

Turn you into the walking dead

This whole world is backwards

The corporate farmers take away our food supply and the bankers take away our wealth

Education takes our wisdom, doctors take away our health

Lawyers corrupt justice, mass media hides the truth, the investigators destroy the proof

Record labels corrupt music, fashion destroys our beauty

Technology inhibits our natural abilities

Politicians take away our freedom, religion destroys spirituality

Even a blind man can see

That this whole world is backwards

It’s Gonna Be Alright

It’s gonna be

It’s gonna be

It’s gonna be alright

It’s gonna be

It’s gonna be

It’s gonna be just fine

Alright

Leaders Pt. 3

Where’s all the leaders?

Come out of hiding

Where’s all the teachers?

We need you now

To all the healers

This is a calling

This world is slipping into darkness

Where’s all the lovers?

Come out and dance now 

Too many haters running amok

There’s children starving 

People are thirsty

The politicians just don’t give a fuck

Where’s all the forests?

They’re disappearing 

They’re making way for factory farms

And this wrong direction 

So crystal clear but

They just refuse to heed the alarms

But Mama’s angry

Don’t mess with Mama

There’s only so much that she can take

But like a spoiled child 

We keep on pushing

Pushing but how long before she breaks?

And all these fast cars, smart phones and fast food

Are pushing us faster, unto the end

And would we trade them

Just for a moment

A brighter future for our children

Where’s all the leaders?

Come out of hiding

Where’s all the teachers?

We need you now

To all the healers

This is a calling

This world is slipping into darkness 

We Are One ft. Paula Fuga

People get together ‘cause our time is running short

We’re in for some bad weather so we gonna need to build an ark

‘Cause we been deceived and held captive inside the fence, too long we been silenced 

And if we believe then we’ll conquer all violence 

With true love and consciousness

I, I got to lay my armor down

‘Cause I, I can’t fight no more wars

I, I’m picking up my golden crown

‘Cause I won’t serve no-one no more

People it’s time we made the fighting stop

People can you hear me singing from upon the mountain?

High up on the mountaintop 

Only Jah Jah Love I’m bringing from across the ocean

I ain’t ever gonna stop

People get together ‘cause the pressure is about to drop

The tidal waves are coming so you better find the highest rock

‘Cause all of this time we’ve been fighting among ourselves, giving each other hell

Never realized that the poison was in our well

We been under a spell

I, I got to lay my armor down

‘Cause I I can’t fight no more wars

I, I’m picking up my golden crown

‘Cause I won’t serve no-one no more

People can you hear me singing from upon the mountain?

High up on the mountaintop 

Only Jah Jah Love I’m bringing from across the ocean

I ain’t ever gonna stop

Brother, I already know you, can’t you see that it’s true

We been together for millions of years

Sister, I can see into you, if I could just show you

We’ve shared many lives of laughter and tears

I and I are not divided, Love has just subsided

Given way to poisonous power and greed

Our Love, ancient and unspoken, can never be broken

Jah woke I to set them free

‘Cause we are, we are, we are one

Dark Days

Dark days ahead

But here’s a ray of light to guide you

I will always be beside you

If you lose your head

Forget and let the darkness blind you

I will be there to remind you

Yes I’ll be around

I’ll stick around

Through all the clowns and the sounds of the towns that will pass us by

So baby don’t cry 

Please don’t cry

‘Cause I know it’s so hard to say it

‘Cause when the road is calling I will dream of you

And when the night is falling I will call on you

And when the road it never ends, I lie awake and pretend

I’m home, home again

Dark days ahead

But here’s a ray of light to guide you

I will always be beside you

If you lose your head

Give up your hopes and give up your dreams

Give up on life, no don’t you give up on me

Not so easily

No I’m gonna be

Right there by your side, no no please don’t hide from me

‘Cause nevertheless, I come to confess that I was impressed from the moment that I met you

I was depressed, I was stressed, I was a mess and then you came and helped me reclaim my name and start anew

And even if I was to realize all my dreams, it would probably only be to fall apart at the seams

All my schemes would undo, all my strings would detune, melodies would be blue

‘Cause here’s the truth, I’m lost without you

May the road rise to meet you and providence greet you

I hope the best is yet to come and when this world is overrun

I’ll be in your pocket, the picture in your locket will be this smiling face of mine

Forever ‘til the end of time and sound

I’ll be around

Yeah I’ll stick around

Oh ‘cause when the seas are rough and you’ve had enough

I’ll keep the deep from drowning you

And when the lights are dim, the walls closing in

I’ll be the shield surrounding you

Oh this life will lift you up and break you down

And bend your crown, I’ll mend it for you

But don’t be afraid to make mistakes

If your heart breaks, I’ll fix it for you
