Yes rude boy! We deh ya!
Foreigner! You hafi love it!
Got to take a little time
A little time to think things over
Got to read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
This mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulder
Through the clouds I see light shine
Keeps me warm as the world grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
And I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to know what love is
I know you can show me
Yes love, love is what the whole world need
Youths in the ghetto dem a try fi succeed
Yes love, spliff, wisdom weed
No have no time fi the jealousy and greed
Yes love, love is what the whole world need
Come together and we plant two seed(s)
Yes love, spliff, wisdom weed
Come together no matter color not creed
Got to take a little time
A little time to look around me
Got nowhere to hide
Looks like love has finally found me
Repeat Bridge - "In my life there's been heartache and pain…"
Repeat Chorus - "I want to know what love is…"
Repeat Rap Section - " Yes love, love is what the whole world need…"

Love Power
04:37
|

Stop the separation in our Father's sacred land
One world, one nation, one-a, one-a rainbow kindgdom
I wish that you could see what a beautiful world this could be
If we could only realize that the captives must be free
Stop holding down the youths Mr. Babylon, oo-oo-ooh
Cause everyone's entitled
And everyone JAH chosen, let it shine
Love power, let it shine on
Love power, love power is what the
The little children need
Where's your dreadlock crown
All you Nazarene kings and queens
Two thousand years of brainwash education
Led us captive in American dream
Where I see the barber-man, yes I see the barber-man
Cutting down the living trees everyday
Trying to cover up the Nazarene kingdom
Where there is
Repeat Chorus - "Love power, let it shine on…"
No matter where you come from
Take my hand, together we are going
Our triumphant return
Into the heart of the garden
Time Magazine, flying machine, a wise man say
Stop leading the youths away mister tricky man
From this magical garden
Love power, each and every hour
Love power, seh it sweet not sour
Love power, starving children get dem supper
Love power, JAH-JAH rainbow shower
The eagle and the bear they are stumbling
The conquering lion stretching and yawning arising
The eagle and the bear still recruiting
Our little sons and daughters
The conquering lion arise in this time I-tecting
And he's a-coming with that
Repeat Chorus - "Love power, let it shine on…"
Black man, please don't you hate the white man
White man, how could you hate the black man?
When will you begin to overstand
We're all coming from the very same one
JAH put man and woman in the middle of the garden
Not your nuclear bomb
So if you're talking to me about power
You'd better come good man
And are you coming with that...
Repeat Chorus - "Love power, let it shine on…"
Repeat Rap Section - "Love power, each and every hour…"
Love power, when you(r) vibes get feeble
Love power, dis a good over evil
Love power, 'nuff food deh 'pon the table
Love power, are you willing and able?

The lights gone out in electric city
Getting so hard for us to see
So I put a little oil in my lamp
For us tonight
To light the way for you and me
I want to turn you on
Want to turn you on little children
We've got to turn that lovelight on
So many roads in life
That we could travel little children
Go to school, make sure that you can read the signs
Too much candy gonna rot your teeth
Can't find love on no dead-end street
Come together rainbow children
And we make ends meet
One kind word, whoh-oo-ah, turn(s) away anger
Two kind words and life could be a little sweeter
Three kind words, ha-ha-ha
A little joy and laughter
Natty tired of the come what may
So I'm standing here today to turn you on
Repeat Chorus - "I want to turn you on…"
I just can't forget all those nice times a yard
Everyone irie even though sometimes life hard
I take a walk with my brethren Birdman
We gone a Heywood Hall
And we see sister Jacqueline
She a gather firewood, a-she a gather fire…
Repeat Chorus - "I want to turn you on…"
Scat
Turn on you(r) lovelight and mek it shine so bright
Touch everyone inna di dancehall tonight
Turn on you(r) lovelight gathering up the youth(s) dem tonight
Red, gold and green dat a di guiding light
Turn on you(r) lovelight, meet I at di crossroads tonight
Guide you through the thickest fog on the darkest night
Turn on you(r) lovelight gathering up the youth(s) dem tonight
And everygoody get so upful and bright
Heaven gates are open little children
Heaven gates are open little children
What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
And won't you step right in
Said the brave lion to the little lamb
I will protect you, JAH will protect us
Repeat Chorus - "I want to turn you on…"

It's been a long, long, long, long time
Since I got a little loving
The fire is burning and my tea-pot is bubbling
Come on sweet darling, let's do it again, do it again
This time we are going to seventh heaven
Baby, come on and cover me with your love
Darling, come on and shower me with your love
Baby, come on and cover me with your love
Darling, come on and shower me with your love
Cover me, shower me, cover me, shower me
Cover me, shower me, cover me, shower me

Heaven sent mama, just like-a tea for two

In the house of love we shall abide
Almighty God be our guide
And when we're moving side by side
Sweet harmony, let's go for a car ride

Come on and cover me, and
Then you shower me
Come on and cover me, and

Soul Jammin'
03:53
|
|||
There's a silence in my heart
Poetic mystery
In the chaos I travel
Lost like a refugee
My spirits in shambles
There's a ghost where I lay
The past is a gamble
There is darkness everyday
And I'm-a soul jammin'
Yes I'm-a soul jammin'
Soul jammin', reaching out to my Lord
The pain is an hour-glass, slip-slipping
Slipping off my brow
Desperate but not forsaken
Holding fast to the gospel plow
Repeat Chorus - "And I'm-a soul jammin'…"
Soul jammin', pa-ba-da-ba-dap
Soul jammin', ah-aah
Soul jammin', soul…
Scat
There's a silence in my heart
Poetic mystery
In the chaos I travel
Like a refugee!
Repeat Chorus - "And I'm-a soul jammin'…"

It's a hard road, hard road to travel
Hard road to travel
But we've got to carry on (rpt.)
Got to sing this ganjah song
'Til all the weak get strong
Children of the rainbow
Got to carry on
Got to sing this ganjah song
'Til all the poor get rich
Children of the rainbow
Got to carry on

Reaching down you calm the turbulent sea
Oh redeemed through your blood

Love I'm Feeling
05:02
|

This love I feel, yes I know it's real
I see the lion and the lamb play
Together in the same field
But now the world gone cold
And some-a-dem, a some-a-dem
They've lost their soul
Oo-whoh-oo-ah, oo-whoh-oo-ah
Oo-whoh-oo-ah-oo-oh
So I sing a song of freedom
Sing a song of, sing a song of
Joy to the world
Joy for every little boy and girl
Why can't you feel
Why can't you feel this love I'm feeling?
Love I'm feeling
And there'd be no more war and greed
If you could only feel this love I'm feeling
Love I'm feeling
A come-a, come-a, come on let's
Join hands and hearts, children
Let's make a brand new start
The clouds have parted
Heaven gates have opened
So we greet the golden sun
And the dancing has begun
Broken hearts get mended
Lost souls get founded
That's why I just can't stop loving JAH
For every little question
He's got the answer
Repeat Chorus - "Why can't you feel…"
And every little youth succeed
If you could only feel this love I'm feeling
Love I'm feeling
Can you hear me? Hear me now
Put down that gun
Let's really start to have some fun
Don't throw away your dignity
And Babylon got you bloodthirsty
My brother, love is still the key
Do we need another war to see?
Your brother got to be your enemy
That's not the teaching of His Majesty
Repeat Chorus - "Why can't you feel…"
And there'd be no more
Homeless in the street(s)
If you could only feel this love
I'm feeling, love I'm feeling
Repeat Bridge - "That's why I just can't stop loving JAH…"
I'm feeling, how you feeling?
A brother feeling, a sister feeling
Good feeling, irie feeling
Yes feeling, what a feeling
Scat
Repeat Coda - "I'm feeling, how you feeling?..."
