Burnin' Ember

Intro

Verse 1

Nineteen long winter under di same old roof,

Growin' up strong with Pure vibes go through.

Deep roots tangle, givin' Jah love di proof,

Sharsh di bread and real love jst good flow.

Tell mi, when di vision start fi fade away?

What wicked wind blow so cold and so high?

We was di sweet tune pon di very same blade,

How di wicked world make wi colors run dry?

Pre-Chorus

Di wicked Babylon say wi time was through,

Say di fire turn to smoke and di feelin' withdrew.

But look inna mi eyes, bredren, no be misled...

True love never dead, it just sleep instead!

Chorus

It nah done yet, no, no, no!

Just a likkle intermission inna di audio!

Underneath di ash, mi I and I love,

One burnin' ember a-wait from above.

Outside forces try fi break di stone,

Wa wi build together over years unknown...

Jah roots are strong and wi a-come home!

(Jump up, bredren, wi a-come home!)

Verse 2

Wi blame di cold street and di heavy city noise,

Di daily rat-race dat drain all wi gold,

Wi tink wi did lose all wi youth-time joys,

And believe di foolish lies dat di system told.

Strangers in di darkness pon di self-same bed,

Believin' di illusion wa di worldly brought,

But when di spirit call you like di elders said,

Wi know dis ancient bridge never can be caught.

Pre-Chorus

Di wicked Babylon say wi time was through,

Say di fire turn to smoke and di feelin' withdrew.

But look inna mi eyes, bredren, no be misled...

True love never dead, it just sleep instead!

Chorus

It nah done yet, no, no, no!

Just a likkle intermission inna di audio!

Underneath di ash, mi I and I love,

One burnin' ember a-wait from above.

Outside forces try fi break di stone,

Wa wi build together over years unknown...

Jah roots are strong and wi a-come home!

Bridge / Dub Instrumental Break

(Dance, I and I, move your feet!)

(A true love story cyan wash away inna di city rain...)

(Feel di vibration, roots rock reggae!)

Outro

Just one likkle ember...

Still a-burn bright.

From many years ago.

Nah go out tonight.

Roots, ska, steady...

Peace, love, and unity!
