Silver and Gold

Jah visit I in silence, come up with a cool, cool sound

Something real feel coming in just like a holy space

Jah greet I with a warm embrace

Still, some will trade for silver, others for gold

To be wiser than a serpent and be hamrless as a dove

In life you must be hopelessly in love

When will we break this dark night?

Ignite the fire light!

To all good people of the earth

Go look inna your Bible

And you will see

That Ezekiel said to Israel

Oh it was silver and gold

Is not good for you, not clean for you

In the end silver and gold

Be surrounded by bone and dust

Leaving only silver and gold

Without even the memory of him

Jah-Jah know

Some were blind and now they see

While others are slow to realize that

All your wealth can't buy you a ticket through heaven's gate

But as fate would have it a dreamer and seeker

Who some way somehow, yields lighting and thunder

Clean and wrapped in robes after the Mikvah

Slept in a hollow log'n buss

Just like Moses rock blood

And burning embers fill the air

From Salomon's temple

You are weighted down, down, down from

Silver and gold

Is not good for you, not clean for you

In the end silver and gold

Be surrounded by bone and dust

Leaving only silver and gold

Without even the memory of him

Jah-Jah know
