Riverside

Where is the love to be found, oh, people? Nowhere around For I woke on Saturday morning Feeling sticky and dirty after work Took a walk down a riverside I roll a little spliff Sat down on a stone and start to cool off With my burden down a riverside For I check around the youths And I try to teach the truth Lay their burden on the riverside I walk through every corner Try to find someone to talk to, but I have to Lay their burden on the riverside For I walk, and I talk And I linger, and I search Lay their burden on the riverside And I walk, I met the youth-man pocket And I try to search around them Lay their burden on the riverside And I sat down quietly Watch the fishes circle around the little stones Lay their burden on the riverside I cup my ears, and I heard the little birds Whistling in the tree like so Lay their burden on the riverside Live good among your neighbour Like sister and brother and Come with me, a riverside All you need is pray to Jah, quietly You say it in secret, he shall reveal Lay their burden on the riverside Jah provides for the birds in the air And the fishes in the sea, so what about me? Lay their burden on the riverside Look at the crow, they toil, not neither do they spin Yet Father provide far them Lay their burden on the riverside Come with me, let us walk and talk And pray quietly in search Lay their burden on the riverside Look at the colour of those stones, oh, Jah Make each and every one individually Lay their burden on the riverside Where is the love? Where is the togetherness too? Lay their burden on the riverside I can't take the war, and I can't take the shooting Neither the looting, just Lay their burden on the riverside I tried around Rema Even in the Jungle To find a quiet rest 'Round there in a Nannyville My heart come to a trail Lay their burden on the riverside And I knock, and I search And I whisper, and I preach Lay their burden on the riverside Where is the quietness And the love to be found in some corner? Lay their burden on the riverside Let us walk, let us search Let us examine, and let us see Lay their burden on the riverside
