lyrics

Give yourself over listen the soul
Help us on over the distant shore
We can move far with the wind that blows
Pray you make our heart and our defenses hold

Wanted to be free from all the politicking that we see
This boy has traveled so long
But can't resign to defeat
So let it go and pass unseen through the silent water
Where currents flow to be near you
Have you forgotten so soon?

Help yourself out of the hole you lie
Give yourself soul that you've been denied
We can move further through bending tides
Pray that we go quick or we sleep in fire

With our defense, it prevent sickness
We hold out ground and let nobody test us
Whatever offends us, we keepin' it conscious
We moving to the riddim that reveal a new concept
And through this harvest, a musical request
Reveal itself in a manner they can never contest
We carry no unrest / we seek only reason
For the search we go sleepless for the truth is the deepest
We persist / we meditate so our minds don't regress
And if we start again, we renew our purpose
Practice to increase fitness
We focus on quickness for the mind can fool the eyes of the weak
The ground will grow it / the seed we sow won't sink into the sea
Let the lyrics of my mouth come out and better the policy
It's a gift that we can live this far and still receive, so give it over

Cannot lay down and let the time slip come sneak up on me
This boy has blessings to see / to reach you have to go deep
Cannot give up on all the signs I have fought to follow
For all these pieces made me
Have we forgotten so soon?
