OVERCOME
oh i come a runnin', runnin' down your valley, oh well i make my way to the river side i said
now overcome i go, comin around the bend, i soon meet up with you my fiend, and then we lend a helping hand, always for the
good of our man, you know that i jah jah coming there, jah jah give i strength to just push on, i rise up in the morning cool
it at dawn, equal rights we're spreading in babylon, only the one love peep, are gonna keep, the message flow and spread,
it's water upon my head, and i stay so strong, as i sing this song, all the folks i met, as i go ahead, some may say that
they're your friend today, then tomorrow go and stab you in the back, they will put up a false smoke screen, you not look
and they come up for the attack, think they get one over but not on me, when the clouds come that's all i see, step outside
sun you know is on my face, just roll aside and let dem enjoy the rat race, jah jah make me go ahead.
STANDING ON THE SHORE
fire around
dem burnin', can you hear time come runnin down the street, running down the street, i want to be by your side, in the
high or low tide, but you know that i'll be here, standing on the shore, standing on the shore, but i'll be here again
my fiend, go out and bathe in the moonlight, i ask no more of you to unlock the door don't feel no fright, we can all
be safe from the strorm is rising on, i try to reason but i & i just get ignored again, kick back and relax in my backyard,
i listen to the birds, as they chirp and sing their morning songs i say evolution, revolution time is where we find the peace
of mind we need, so please your knees, so please your needs my friend, but then again, so long i say, go out and dance the
night away, the sun will fall which will end our day, we may stop for thanx and praise, for all of the people that are not
ok, we can all give off the love, the love above i say, everyday, i'm at the door and i want some more, oh i just see
the people around, their hands do beg sitting on the ground, we don't want the fight to go down, we band together to create
jah sound, we step inside and we give praise, we need to smile each and all of our days.
Stoic in the light of exposure
All the while you show no fear
Steady
easy maintain composure
Straight ahead and persevere
If you gonna ride that
swell
Man you better know thyself
Don't mind these people
Way to much to say
They'll treat you equal if you look another way
