Lyrics

Verse 1

There’s a flavor in the land, brethren, come and taste,

Root and fire, the struggle and the grace.

Water cleanse ya, wind blow free,

Seed in the soil, growin’ wild like me.

transition

Salt on ya tongue, wave crashin’ high,

Fisherman’s net, seagull in the sky.

Green in the air, fruit ripe and sweet,

Wings takin’ flight—liberty complete.

pre Chorus

Ohhh, you gotta fi feel the flavor of the land, my brother!

Everything inside—light, the heat,

Morning sun glow, moonlight so deep.

Colors and dreams, the scent of the rain,

Jah love in your heart, tomorrow’s no chain…

And if you dare to taste, you’ll find yourself whole,

Body and soul, right here—home.

Chorus

That’s it, my brother… (Oh-oh-oh!)

All you need’s right here to be free! (Yeah!)

Strength in the fight, peace in the breeze,

Reason to rise, never drop to your knees!

And if you take that taste… (Taste it now!)

You’ll stand up tall, never lost, always found!

Trust me, brethren… (Trust!)

The world’s in your hands—just plant it down!

Verse 2

Walked through the city, wanted know what’s there,

Smoke in the alleys, rush but no care.

Blood on the pavement, hustle and pain,

But deep in the shadows, one old man pray.

He said, *"Not prayin’, no—not like you think,

It’s the flavor of good, the sweetness in the sink.

Season your life with earth and fire,

Water and wind—*lift your dreams higher!"

(OOOHHhhOhhhOHHH) (Feel it now!)

Bridge

*"Hey! You—don’t just stand there, move!

The land is yours, the time is now—prove!

Plant that seed, water with faith,

*Harvest comin’—just wait and wait!"

Final Chorus

That’s it, my brother… (Oh-oh-oh!)

All you need’s right here—can’t you see?

From the dirt to the stars, we climb as one,

Jah guide, and the battle is won!

So take that taste… (Taste it deep!)

You’re the land, the sky, the ocean’s keep!

Trust me, brethren… (Trust!)

*The world’s in your hands—just reach and reap!"

Outro

"Flavor of the land… flavor of the fight…

Flavor of love… burnin’ pure and bright…

Jah walk with ya—everything’s right…

(Jah know the truth!

Him taste di life we lead.

Jah walk with us!)
