1. Peace, Love, And Harmony

Peace, love and harmony is everything I man need to be I don't want no war and no more blood money I need peace, love and harmony I will teach the whole wide world Every man, woman, boy and girl to Live in harmony Without hate or greed It seems so easy Just look into your heart and you will find The secrets and the mysteries of the ancient times And you'll find how pointless it is to be unkind Jahman relax unwind and open up your mind cause When the time comes We will be one So don't you cry Spread your wings and fly

Focus your pure energy let the vibration set you free You are born of the truth don't live in fantasy its up to we to bring mankind back to reality Jah livity and see that Peace, love and harmony is everything I man need to be I don't want no war and no more blood money I need peace, love and harmony Beneath the pain Judgement and fear Iternal Love Waits for you there Why are you crying Don't you know Jah Love is waiting Can't you hear Down in the garden Can't you hear we calling So come on in

4. Dreams

Oh Earth Mother here's a flower for your hair A song to show you some of us still care I have seen you choking on the smog You're forests chopped down and your rivers clogged But in my dreams everything seems much brighter than before And I can see her calling me from the shore Oh Mama it must break your heart so To see your children warring over gold And all the blood it soaks into your skin You feel the fears of all the years they've been hunting and slaughtering All the animals that should be running free They are slowly being exterminated by humanity Look to the east, the road to peace lies with the setting sun Under her wing where everything is one And when all the waterfalls have died, we won't be able to replace them, no matter how many tears we cry (I'm sorry) When darkness falls it will be all who face the shadow (Forgive me) And your judgement it will come from within your own soul (I Love you) Will you have the courage to look into the mirror (Respect you) Will you go to her open arms, Love and respect her In my dreams everything seems much brighter than before And I can see her calling me from the shore Look to the east, the road to peace lies with the setting sun Under her wing where everything is one

5. Jah Will Never Leave I Alone

In these troubling times Money comes and goes But one thing I know Jah will never leave I alone And the sun will shine And the rain will fall But I n I know Jah will never leave I alone

I woke up early this morning And Jah sun was not yet dawning But I know in my heart it's gonna rise Cause just before dawn the night is at its darkest And just when you think what you seek is at its farthest That's when Jah will show you you're standing at the finish line Cause when you're running around you can't find the time to clear up your mind And if you never Iditate you won't contemplate the mysteries of time See you're a prisoner of a system of an ancient design Watching your future become past is your favorite pastime To break the bonds of this system of slavery is up to you And your redemption will come if your words and actions are true Because no matter what no one can make your choices for you

In these troubling times Money comes and goes But one thing I know Jah will never leave I alone And the sun will shine And the rain will fall But I n I know Jah will never leave I alone Believe me I know that its hard to be strong now And believe me I know its hard to find where to belong now But believe me when I tell you that things will be better soon And believe me they could never harm us my bredren Deceive we as we strive to rebuild our Zion And believe me when I tell you that your future is up to you So don't you let them make you there fool Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, Jahman and start anew Cause all this glamour is meant to do Is to distract you and attack all of your weaknesses and who Who will be your shepherd when you go astray and Who will be your courage when you are afraid and Who will be your guidance when you lose your way Only Jah I woke up early this morning And Jah sun was not yet dawning But I know in my heart it's gonna rise Cause just before dawn the night is at its darkest And just when you think what you seek is at its farthest Thats when Jah will show you Jah will reach you Jah will teach you

In these troubling times Money comes and goes But one thing I know Jah will never leave I alone And the sun will shine And the rain will fall But I n I know Jah will never leave I alone In these troubling times When anything goes There's one thing I know Jah will never leave I alone And the sun will shine And the rain will fall But I n I know Jah will never leave I alone

6.Mama’s Boy

How will your garden ever bear fruit If you never take time to nurture the roots Its easy to overstand You got no future plans Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale You got no dirt under your fingernails You got a lot to learn But you got money to burn Mama's boy Daddy's little girl Cut of the umbilical get out into the world You've been hanging on too long little darling I think its about time for you to spread your own wings And you'll find that in time you'll be fine once you learn a few things You have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to sing And you'll know that you've grown once your own wings have flown And you'll find a new home that you can call your own But your never gonna know if you never go and sew your seeds And become whole no you're never gonna fly if you never try to reach the heights Mama's boy Daddy's little girl Cut of the umbilical get out into the world you'll see things that you never dreamed of Step out in the world and you might even find Love Mama's boy Daddy's little girl Cut off the umbilical get out into the world you'll see Things you never knew existed The world was passing by and all this time you missed it And if you're afraid just to make a mistake Well rewards only come out of chances you take So break free from the mold Stop doing just as your told Out beyond the end you might make a few new friends And if you are lost and you can't find your way Your tongue is all tied You can't find the words to say Look into your bones The truth is etched there in stone It has always been waiting For your heart to be awakened And you'll return Standing firm in all you've learned Ready to be a teacher You have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to be the singer And your voice will carry Echo through the valleys Like a trumpet set free in three part harmony If you really wanna see what there is to see Fulfill your destiny Unfold the mysteries Then step into the wild blue Take a look inside you Set yourself free How will your garden ever bear fruit If you never take time to nurture the roots Its easy to overstand You got no future plans Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale You got no dirt under your fingernails You got a lot to learn But you got money to burn Mama's boy Daddy's little girl Cut of the umbilical get out into the world You'll never learn to pick yourself up if you never fall So cut off the umbilical

8. Cat’s Meow

This is a song to set the record straight Because before long its gonna be too late To save the music from corporate oppression We got to take back the radio stations To all you producers and executives So dedicated to churning out the hits We don't want to hear no more cheese Auto tune pop bullshit We want the roots not this Jawaiian candy I remember a time we used to sing on the corner for nickels and dimes Now I look around and how everything has changed But somehow the music has always stayed the same throughout the changes And its got me thinking that even when the world all around us is sinking Jah music will always be living going strong Long after humanity has been dead and gone, it will live on And all these records will rot and decay And only the vibrations will remain And if the sound you made was pure and true Your music it will live on long after you So this is a message to you pop singers All who have forgotten your roots and culture This is a reminder A simple thought to ponder Are you yourself or are you just another A beautiful face there on the MTV An original or a carbon copy Are you just one of them Just trying to fit in Is there an original bone in your body? I remember a time when all the musicians would stand outside in a line Just to get a chance to jump up on stage and blow To see if you got the talent to give the people a show Now its just all about who you know Who's ass you kiss in this puppet show But there's one thing that all of them don't know True music can never be bought or sold So if American Idol is your favorite show Well worshiping idols is a big no no Cause if you worship wealth Or if you worship yourself someday soon your true colors are gonna show

If glitter and glam is all you desire Then sooner or later you'll feel the fire Licking up at your heels Burning away all you conceal Revealing the truth that's hiding in your soul So we give respect to all musicians unchained and free All of them who are playing for the Love and never the Love of money This is a song for you all We're all one big family Whether you play roots, rock, jazz, blues, hip-hop, or r&b This is a call to the people All the singers and players The poets and painters Dancers and appreciators All who play music for the good of the greater Who know all music comes from Jah the Creator Gotta free up the music Gotta free up the culture And leave these corporate music industry vultures Gotta keep the music pure forever And give the people something fresh and innovative Unexpected and creative Something they can all relate with We gotta mix it up Gotta change it up Rearrange it up And give them lyrics that will make them think cause we are standing on the brink Rastaman, give yourself a pat on the back And pick up the slack Cause we gotta keep on trodding til we reach the Zion heights above And we gotta keep the music flowing in a positive direction Give the people a reflection of Jah Love So man if you ain't got the message by now Original music is the cat's meow So turn your radio up And roll your windows down And let the people hear you sing it out loud We got to free up Jah music

9. Star Crossed Love

There could never be another woman for me and I know that I am the perfect man for you I couldn't live my life another way and I know I could never survive another day without you

I still remember the first time we met Long before we ever got to know each other yet How we stayed up talking on the telephone Bout the past and the future and the great unknown I can still remember the first time we kissed and the electricity that passed between our lips As the sun rose over the Ko`olau mountains I saw our new lives begin There could never be another woman for me and I know that I am the perfect man for you I couldn't live my life another way and I know I could never survive another day without you I'll cross the sky And pull down a star Climb a mountain high Just to be where you are I'd stand out in the rain Shout it out loud Cause I'll feel the same A thousand years from now Cause our Love is above unconditional Like the stars in the sky And as time passes by our vibrational energies intertwine Like a breeze through the trees we entangle and escape to another land I was wrong all along when I told you that I'd Love you forever Cause forever could never be long enough And you are the first thing on my mind when I awake And you are the last thing that I see before I sleep And when I dream your right there leading me through a winding wonderland Iternally you will be I n I queen and I'll be your kinsman

I'll cross the sky And pull down a star Climb a mountain high Just to be where you are I'd stand out in the rain Shout it out loud Cause I'll feel the same A thousand years from now Your sweet breath hits my cheek like a river comes to the sea As powerful and gentle as the strength of your heart Like a rhyme out of rhythm, or a forgotten pastime, or a tree in a forest of vines We fight against these times The shifting sands of our souls navigate the labyrinths of this life To combine and intertwine, reconnect and realign, the embraces of a thousand lifetimes A hundred galaxies, a million stars return From across the great expanse I have come to capture your gaze again From Mama's needle we have been spun, and reawoken in each others' sight For a covenant was made that shall never be broken And a framework built that shall never be laid to waste A vibration, unconditional, above A promise kept, a star crossed Love

10. Move Forward

What you gonna do when the ocean is boiling Rising up, bubbling out of the bay Only then will you accept these problems Aren't just going to go away And what'll you do when the mountain is crumbling And every remaining species is dead All the while you were slacking and stumbling Should've been doing Jah works instead

Cause all that preaching that you did while you were in the pulpit What will it do for you now that the truth is out Looks like your gonna have to start all over Embark on a spiritual journey Look within, knowledge is the promised key Take the road that leads to the mountain Cleanse in the eternal fountain

Move forward Seek the truth Don't you be Afraid to speak your mind Speak the truth The courage Will find you So don't look to the preacher man to take you by the hand He will only lead you through his own land Human you've got your own truth to overstand You keep looking for a messiah Some invincible leader to guide ya You keep looking for someone to save you When your own savior is living within you

Jah is living, made up of you, connecting and directing you to everything that surrounds you, true Move forward Seek the truth Don't you be Dfraid to speak your mind Speak the truth The courage Will find you And each day there'll be many new possibilities for you to Spread this Love Jah has given to you What you gonna do when the ocean is boiling Rising up, bubbling out of the bay Now that you have accepted these problems aren't just going to go away And what'll you do now the mountain is crumbling And the very last trumpet has cried Will you stand up and change our future Or be swept away in the rising tide

11. Rain Or Shine

You know I will be there Thick or thin, rain or shine You know I will be there Take my hand Its gonna be alright now child Just take my hand And know that its alright to cry Takes a big man To suck it up and just accept A helping hand You know that we all ride the ruts from time to time We all got mountains to climb So check the signs Look around Jah they're everywhere Open your mind I know sometimes it seems unfair But take your cards And play your hand the best you can I know its hard When things don't go just as you planned But when the times get tough You know I will be there Thick or thin, rain or shine You know I will be there When the road is rough and rocky You know I will be there When you're lost and afraid and you can't find your way You know I will be there Oh brother Lay you're weary body down My sister Wipe away that angry frown My friend You've been running on an empty tank so long You start to get the feeling you belong In this hell you've been living in So many, many years But don't give in Cause over yonder Life is waiting So just stop Your self deflating Ego trips And start forgiving yourself And get busy living And when the times get tough You know I will be there Thick or thin, rain or shine You know I will be there When the road is rough and rocky You know I will be there When you're lost and afraid and you can't find your way You know I will be there Take my hand Thick or thin Rain or shine

12. Neva Retiya

From the first moment I opened my eyes I knew I had a destiny to realize Cause we are all one people One creature One sky And it is not our fate that we should be divided And dead soon we all will be If we can't figure out a way to live in peace and harmony The pathway is ours to choose We got so much to gain We got even more to lose The world is changing Everyone knows The forests are dying While humanity grows Why don't we feel like We have a say? The fate of the future Are our world today Corporate politicians Hung up on puppet strings Making bad decisions for all of us With so much under cover Its only in each other That we can put our trust Farmers plant your corn And trailblazers trod it on We all must face the dawn together Singers sing your songs Cause I know it won't be long This world will die but the spirit is Forever Marching forward Through the never Past returning Beyond forever Now reborn Again we borrow These hearts and hands through our joy and our sorrow

And we burn the fyah Rastaman burn the fyah Farmers plant your corn And trailblazers trod it on We all must face the dawn together Singers sing your songs Cause I know it won't be long This world will die but the spirit is Forever Cause if into the future we all could see We'd probably do things a little differently At least I hope we would have the sense To see the futility of all this violence Now we're seeing the damage we've done We're becoming prisoners of our own sun And if we are going to survive in these times We got to leave the past behind Dust to dust and Ashes to ashes Our past is future Our future will become our past From descendants To ancestors I and I return forIver [Outro] Burn the fyah Neva retiya Rastaman Burn the fyah Neva retiya Higher Burn the fyah Neva retiya Oh Jah man Burn the fyah Neva retiya Father Psalms will Burn the fyah Neva retiya Oh Jah Gumby will Burn the fyah Neva retiya Reggae music will Burn the fyah Neva retiya Woah oh Burn the fyah Neva retiya Jah music will Jah music will burn the fyah Neva neva neva neva retiya Neva neva neva neva retiya

13. Heartbeat

How much do I owe you You gave me my heartbeat As I search for the words to say my tongue falls away You are my heartbeat As pure and as true as the ocean is blue My heartbeat You were by my side When all I had was a dream And a gleam in my eye So I'll never forget you I'll always love you You You had my back When all I had was a five string guitar and a knapsack So I'll never forget you I'll always Love you Cause when the rain came You were my ark You were my shelter And when the sun shone You were right there to fill me with laughter Oh Mama You gave me life Gave me your breast when you were bleeding inside And I'll never forget how you held me The first time a girl that I loved ever left me And oh Papa You gave me my voice And through it all Always gave me a choice And I finally overstand how you taught me Your shining example of Love and positivity Even through the worst You always put me first And suffered the cost For every battle I lost And now I I can't imagine another More perfect mother and father All through my life You always had my back Gave me more Than in a lifetime I could ever pay back So I just needed to tell you How much I love and respect you All the sacrifices you made Are lessons growing in me now All the Love you gave is living within me Within my heartbeat You were by my side When all I had was a dream and a gleam in my eye So I'll never forget you I'll always love you You You had my back when all I had was a five string guitar and a knapsack So I'll never forget you I'll always Love you Heartbeat You are my heartbeat My heart beats in you
