The Light

Some rob and steal the light

As Rome was burning to the ground

You say today they've gone and lost their way

In search of a new Jerusalem

In his heart it was a fire

Burning, burning down!

In his heart it was a burning fire

(Burning, burning down!) It a go burn, it a go burn, it a go burn!

Jah light cast from stars far away

And the moonlight reflecting always

An eternal power illuminates us all

None shall escape into the shallow water below

All manners of existence among the four corners of the world

Have reflected the one principle teaching

That there is a light, a source, an energy!

And this energy that is swirling, and circling and surrounding us

It last forever! Indeed it has no end

But for the physical, the individual, life is something quite different

Our energy burns bright until we reach our true potential

Or perhaps we fail

But with time we come into great reflection

What purpose do we all serve and what is the right direction?

Jah light cast from stars far away

And the moonlight reflecting always

An eternal power illuminates us all

None shall escape into the shallow water below

So the question is not, does the light exist

But the question really is

What are we going to do with it?

You see, some will come to absorb

And some reflect the light, but we the elders wonder

Will there be enough wisdom to keep it burning bright?

Broken in defeat

Feeling empty in your heart

You jump inna di quicksand yo!

What's right inna your face

Ya cannot see in the dark

Brighten up this world

Ya must find a spark!

Ya cannot see the light at all

Even when it's right beside them

It's right next to them, Jah-Jah show them! (Jah show them)
