[Verse 1: Kweku Collins]
I'm sorry for your pain
And I pray you feel no sorrow
And I hardly know your name
And hope you see tomorrow
And I hope it's not in vain
And your veins are never hollow
And I know the water is deep
But one day it shall be shallow
Yah yay!
But from that day never look back
Keep walking or running or selling or flying
Because days never could crack
Time is an entity all on its one
It plays on a one track
That needle keep going around and around
Sound of the world as you twirl in a gown
Of a life well spent and a future to crown
You illuminate the room as you swoop in
Your wings beat air to a frenzy
Being the coolest of cool you a fool
But it's fine, that's just you being friendly
Being a hoop to a ball, is a dream
We just hope that the opps ain't defending
But if not we got sword for the battle the irony being
We tear down the fencing
But that picket white fence
Tack it on up
Just be sure to try
To make your world a better place
Keep them eyes dry
Don't never forget you're worthy of love
You cannot escape the shine
So when I come to your door
Just tell me your name and I'll tell you mine
[Bob Marley and Interviewer]
I: Have you made a lot of money out of your music?
B: Money? I mean, how much is a lot of money?
I: Have you made, say, millions of dollars?
B: Nah
I: Are you a rich man?
B: When you mean rich, what you mean?
I: Do you have a lot of possessions? Do you have a lot of money in the bank?
B: Possessions make you rich? I dont have that type of richness. My richness is life, forever
[Verse 2: Kweku Collins]
Yeah I'm sorry for your hurt
And I pray you never feel it
And I'm sorry for your failure
I hope you come back again
And I'm sorry for them lies
That people gonna tell you
But the beauty of a lie is inside it lay the true
Look sharp to the left, to the right
At the ground, at the sky, and the world you live in
We are the water, the earth
The old folk there
Baby we are the children
Everything is everything
The beauty is everywhere that be a give in
Guards up!
How you live with your guards up?
How you not in love what the stars bae?
How you not look and get star struck?
Yeah
Granted I know, we make our destiny, we have control
The fault is in us
Never stars that we hold
Accountable counting the pieces instead of the whole
Counting the reason to k** all your love
Counting the seasons the year is a whole
Counting the reason to walk out your home
Counting the reasons to drown in your hope
But you're worthy of love, yeah
You cannot escape the shine
So when I come to your door
Just tell me your name and I'll tell you mine, love!
[Bob Marley and Interviewer]
B: We're revolutionaries, you know?
I: Is that the way you see yourself?
B: Yeah, mi see myself as a revolutionary. Who don't have no help, and don't take no bride from no one, fighting single handed with music. Rasta is the future. Seen? Yes. Rasta is the future
[Bob Marley]
Well, my life is not important to me. Other people's life is important. My life is only important if I can help plenty people. If my life is just me in my own security then mi nah want it. My life is for people. That is the way mi is
