These Words
(V.Fahie/Resination)
CHORUS
These words aren’t
written, written to offend (No One)
Their goal and aim and destiny in this life, is to gain a friend
(Forever)
From a heart that dreams, and a soul that hopes (Join Hands)
A little guiding light inna this strife on life’s downward
slopes
Unique for certain
and a my own eyes have witnessed
Your commitment to faith holds your top interest
With these same notions these words have been written
Through your honesty girl your life has been smitten, yeah I
CHORUS
One! 4x
At what point
does it start, alas where does it end
Chosen on lifes journeys for us to make things blend
Your brightness as the sun who under it can contest
All the comfort and safety of your nest, in which I rest
And have the best of all opportunity
I believe in the sunset trails that flow between you and me---little
girl dem
CHORUS
Left behind like
fading time the thoughts of our unity are still strong
Emotions sunny and blue the orchestrations of a reggae love
song.
Pain does settle in but as the rainbows end is dismissed
Nothing on earth in all its lands can break its fluentness.
Over the highest mountains lift and go between the shade of
the trees, over the heads of you and me.
Keeping us together
for itself can’t grow apart
One God, One Aim, One Destiny, One Love, you see One Heart.
One can’t be without the other in this game to move ahead,
No matter if your locks are curly, or you’s a natty dread.
With this in mind no fairytales I must set fast my sails
My hope, my heart, my life, my dream destined down sunset trails.
At what point does it start, alas where does it end
Yesterdays forgotten
and tomorrow is just a dream
Patience is a virtue and life is as a stream
That flows with the wind on a ride that never ends
Caught up within the clouds once again on us it descends
We could never fail by taking off the veils,
Must believe in the sunrise that the sunset trails.
Rastaman a soul rebel
