Ancient Family

(Intro - Armonías vocales suaves y tristes, estilo rocksteady)

Oh yeah... Jah know.

Listen to the elders speak.

From far away, we travel down.

(Verso 1)

In this heavy world of stone and clay,

Sometimes we stumble, we lose our way.

We forget the journey we had before,

Walking through time, life's revolving door.

But look in the eyes of the ones you love,

Sent down to guide us from the stars above.

(Coro)

Because family is the root, family is the tree,

Binding our souls for eternity.

Friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, and dads,

The same ancient love that we always had.

We've been doing this for a thousand years,

Wiping away each other's tears!

(Verso 2)

Before we wore flesh, before we wore bone,

We wandered the cosmos, never alone.

We made a promise when time began,

To meet once again in this island land.

So when the material world feels cold,

Remember the stories our spirits told.

(Coro)

Because family is the root, family is the tree,

Binding our souls for eternity.

Friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, and dads,

The same ancient love that we always had.

We've been doing this for a thousand years,

Wiping away each other's tears!

(Puente / Breakdown - Ritmo más marcado, estilo early reggae con contestación vocal)

Hold on to your brother, cherish your kin,

That's where the peace and the light begin.

(Coro Final - Con más energía y coros superpuestos)

Because family is the root, family is the tree,

Binding our souls for eternity.

Friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, and dads,

The same ancient love that we always had.

We've been doing this for a thousand years,

Wiping away each other's tears!

(Outro - El bajo se vuelve más pesado, desvaneciéndose lentamente con el eco del revés)

Thousands of years...

Reborn together...

Never alone in Babylon's weather...

Peace and love to the family.

Jah guide and protect.

(Fade out...)
