About

"Universal Love" is a soulful Roots Reggae anthem that celebrates the spiritual journey of finding connection and kindness across different lands. The lyrics recount a humble pilgrimage where sharing bread and water under the shade becomes a sacred act of communal devotion to Jah. By emphasizing that goodness is a natural state of humanity, the song transforms a simple travel story into a powerful mantra for global unity. The rhythmic "skank" of the guitars and the steady bassline provide a peaceful foundation for the message that love is the only truly essential currency. Ultimately, the track serves as a radiant reminder that when hearts open without ambition, we discover that the divine manifests in every shared smile.

Lyrics

Intro

Yeah… oh Jah…

On this journey…

Only love to give…

Transition

Woah-oh-oh… YÕ YÕ Yoyoyoyo OH-HOH-HOH!

Verse 1

Just the other day we headed out that way

Feet on the road, let the wind lead the play

Going out to see the brothers from another land

Feeling close to the truth, holding life in our hand

In no rush at all, just wanted to arrive

Saying "hello" with a smile, feeling so alive

Pack on the ground, body needs to rest

Under the shade, dreaming of the best

Pre-Chorus

A sip of water just to ease the soul

A piece of bread to share and make us whole

And in the silence of the great unknown

Jah spoke deep inside, seeds were sown

Chorus

Love is universal

Running free, it’s natural

In the world of man, there is no evil

When we live for what is essential

Love is universal

In the soul, it’s spiritual

In humanity, the good is natural

Jah is the light in every equal

Verse 2

And every meeting was a celebration

No one asked about our home or nation

They just wanted to add, to share the heat

A full table, making life so sweet

There was water for us to wash away the dust

A warm bed to sleep, built on sacred trust

The best place was always right there

Where a heart opens up, showing that they care

Pre-Chorus

And in the sparkle of every eye

You could see Jah manifest, passing by

No need for money, no greed in the mind

Only truth and connection for us to find

Chorus

Love is universal

Running free, it’s natural

In the world of man, there is no evil

When we live for what is essential

Love is universal

In the soul, it’s spiritual

In humanity, the good is natural

Jah is the light in every equal

Bridge

Inside everyone, a nest of kindness grows

Nature is calling, that’s the way it goes

Hand in hand, soul connection

One people, one heart, one direction

Final Chorus – repeating and building

Love is universal

(The love… the love…)

Running free, it’s natural

Love is universal

(Feel the vibration…)

In humanity, the good is natural

Love is universal…

Love is universal…

Outro

One Love...

One Heart...

Jah Guide.
