[Intro]
Said I know someday my day will come
When I will get to play that drum
And the whole dam world's gonna dance along
Knowin' all the words to my dancehall song
[Verse 1]
When I speak from the soul
My body goes numb
My heart feels the music like my skin feels the sun
My pulse starts poundin' like the beating of a drum
To the sound and the rhythm of the ukulele strum
Undone water, bon bon where ya
Where ya goin? Where'd ya come from?
Said oh gotta reach that setting sun
I'll walk my road til kingdom come
[Verse 2]
Y'all a listen to the words of a wise man speakin
No one a heed and a no one believe him
Him are a man who give ample warning
Sun's goin down, will it rise in the morning?
Ride through the mountains, the crops and corn and
Wind is a blowin' and rain is a pourin'
Lighting a strike while a thunderstormin'
Heeled by the chains of a new jim crowe man
[Verse3]
Walk a life lonely
Walk a mile in my shoes and you still wouldn't know me
Hard for the humble and lowly
To be seekin' out the presence of the mighty and holy
Walk a life lonely
Walk a mile in my shoes and you still wouldn't know me
You find it hard to control he
He who walk so steadily, walk so slowly
I walk steady and
I walk slow and
I don't know where the hell to go
Knowin' when I'm ready
I'll seek I'll find
With a broken heart
And an open mind...
[Reprise]
When I speak from the soul
My body goes numb
My heart feels the music like my skin feels the sun
My pulse starts poundin' like the beating of a drum
To the sound and the rhythm of the ukulele strum
[Outro]
I need to say I see these days
Believers cure and heathens pray
When seasons change but
Reasons stay
Believe what I perceive per se…
