Cette année est pour toi cette année la pour la terre qui renait de tous ses émois les arbres se relancent après la guerre Car le vent pousse l’air frais les oiseaux chantent comme ils ne l’ont jamais fait Depuis longtemps qu’on n’y croyait plus les enfants dansent tous dans la rue Sans compter les animaux sauvages qui répète sans cesse le message Que leur fourrure a besoin de soleil, d’eau claire comme les abeilles Car le vent pousse l’air frais les oiseaux chantent comme ils ne l’ont jamais fait Depuis longtemps qu’on n’y croyait plus les enfants dansent tous dans la rue Le ciel n’est plus englouti dans un nuage de poussières aciérées Comme hier nous nous étions endormis rien ne sert de pleurer Car ce qui cogne notre routine un météorite connu de la Chine Coup de poing dans les babines, qui aurait dit que la nature ne fait qu’une Donne un nouveau souffle aux insectes et végétaux Comme d’autres espèces et genres d’animaux Devient le berger au Nord du vallon nous aurons la raison et non la rançon Car le vent pousse l’air frais les oiseaux chantent comme ils ne l’ont jamais fait Depuis longtemps qu’on n’y croyait plus les enfants dansent tous dans la rue Become the shepherd on the crest of harvest where clamor jumps with bang and merits My uncle George played old times Carols. I can’t remember where but it was back then

No man a call 02:24

Tumbling over, the side of my lines, forget the day, it was written a long time Can’t you see it coming right up north? We all ponder the ruins of the pain across pain down south, Brazen in the great quest for fire To free the new born of this mad desire Jah come bless all his scattered children His light is always beaming at the heaven No man a ball, Jah Jah call, No man is less Jah Jah bless No man a fall, Jah is tall, No man a growl Jah is the best Please remember the days of your life where we were not just numbers But we had some rights even if the captain said we go out to sea But the storm is heading right unto we Protect our land when I am not free Feed the hungry give them a reason to be No man a ball , Jah jah call No man is less , Jah Jah bless No man a fall, Jah is tall, No man a stall Jah is the best These our times the struggle is flip and stand, please help us figure the wicked hand we can touch the heart of the man let the blood spill to our descendants. Woman protect my land when I am not free feed the children give them a reason to see

Got to hold on 04:25
lyrics

Got to hold on to your sanity Got to hold on to humanity Got to hold on to your family Got to hold on to your dignity Hold on hold on hold on Even when the rat class gets you surely devils will ground you Their hard frying saucer hits you Come on are you a wild shoe? Better days are looming, we’ll come out jamming Better days are heading we’ll come out, blasting, drumming Wild animal begging for a share Why do we kill so much country bear? Deep in the mountains of the East Congo the Great ape is asking why we acting so live on barely on they live on If the ocean could open up We would see a very different map So no need to start a tower up Too much black oil already on the top Move on next one move on, You erase our cultures so we won’t feel it displacing population with puppet governments In the name of power and authority. You master the art in disguise and mockery disanatized, euthanize, robotize, quantisize You switch the game when the fire gets hot leaving the poor with no food in the pot, Disorienting whales as the Iceberg melt Upsetting volcano caused by technology belt swing on, so wrong, mastodons, Golden nations are lost in your mess Your total interest is your greed and success Power of the dead what a weird progress Leaving us behind with all your distress Water rise high tide floods caused by your mechanical power engine

Lonesome road (Pass the flame) 03:45
lyrics

Heard a sound when I was born It was about Jah Jah calling Did not know where it came from Something inside kept the light on Rugged slopes feel the strokes, careless zone, lonesome road Let the Amazon sling a bow, Let the Amazon train rain show On an island where my mind wonders Lived the people of the seaport Dazzling sailors hanging next door Forgotten soldiers of the last war Rugged slopes feel the strokes, careless zone country road Let the Amazon string a bow, Let the Amazon train rain show Vanity Fair, let them take care, Pass on the flame to a true soldier if they dare In a town where I was born came a man who went to sea Told of us his life unfold, mistreat and honeybee Careless zone lonesome road, rugged slopes feel the strokes, Let the Amazon sling a bow, Let the Amazon train rain show Don’t shed no tears, don’t have no fears Pass on the flame, the conqueror is playing a wicked game, Stand up stand tall you carry on Someone will come along give you all that love that you deserve Lavender there perfumes the air Don’t go and dare about native sand, when you don’t care They come along, they will run on Pass on the flame to a true soldier if they dare Don’t shed no tears, don’t have no fears Pass on the flame, the conqueror is playing a wicked game Stand up stand tall you may carry on Someone will come along give you all that love that you deserve

Jah World 03:12
lyrics

Jah World is full of surprise when you take a dive you learn to survive Jah World is colorfully blind all the tones turn to zenith design My gratitude is kind, full smiling sunshine Give thanks for the times of our prime Monkeys staring on top of buildings Dolphins singing out the season’s burning Snakes are wheedling on ladders of fortunes Zebras straying birds are prowling My gratitude is kind, full smiling sunshine Give thanks for the times of our prime Jah World is a magic ride; spiritually reflected life will never die Jah world is an inside window recounting pain conquest and sorrow Jah world is a magic song take a look at the times we had along Jah World is a garden of chance everyone craving for a true romance Boundless seeking far wide reaching Cone of laughter honor the Master Deep old feeling walls of meaning All praise wide to the global reactor

Mary oh Mary 03:21
lyrics

Mary Oh Mary, oh Mary run down galore Save me save me, save me whisper to us all The plains of the Conquistador Were so clear they would fall flat on their fear The boat that I took is long time gone But the vision floats on the horizon Ingenious and smart we couldn’t get a start As we get caught crossing the border trap They cease my name and called me in vain They spin the crown not knowing where it’s from Glory Glory oh Glory Jah Rastafari Release me release me, release me to the Most High Capital Blue when the violets are new Town gets dread by the evening sunset Marvels for you there are only a few So we would restore the Egyptian Metaphors Isis came around, Osiris came around to see What had become of we? As I was bowing down I could only say most of our people are not free

If I didn’t know then 03:10

If I didn’t know then, I know now The whole place is upside down, plenty fools in town The word is stick around the road journey has a ground All jet Set climb over for the same pet screen cover Toying and pulling away in the whirlpool life’s hooray They are descendant of the Sons of Gibraltar When the sun sets they will go very far Under ordered magical rituals Sandi charms them with her whistle, the sun the moon the stars If I didn’t know then, I know now The whole place is upside down, plenty fools in town I see the world is spinning around (Exposing) false leaders that can be crowned If you want to take a bride you must bring her to the fountain Fill the promise of lasting joy gentle kindness every morning To hold her close is a greater feeling Hear the bells ring in high grass season to the north the south the east

Let them go by 03:21

Let them go by, only you know the count after they say goodbye, Let them go by, only you know the count after they made us cry Same old guidelines, same old fine line Over the hill pick as you will Wherever you from, wherever you stay You will always fumble like a runaway Cover yourself, protect yourselves Bang at my door, they think you are more Vengeance calling as the clock is ticking Gasping on golden stones praising psalms Open the safe, so we can say our grace Take heed in the barn, saddle up before dawn Thunder lightning is raging west bound All night no rest till the morning fresh Don’t’ let them get you down, You know they are unholy ones Trending loose way, grinding their fate Figure of eight; just don’t be late Lay low Joe you don’t hold the dough Flash on my pack it’s another attack Clear the main fact, I need you to seat back Fresh as snow we will ride through the blow Shooting stars higher than our scars can show

Geronimo’s Preservation 04:00
lyrics

Honesty is the old adage of faith Vanity, cruelty will be put to waste They moved his people in the valley of death He was captured and made a circus clef Had they seen through his magic depth He had vision of their train roll-wreck Like a swirl the rules change a fur is torn and the evacuation goes on remove the tribes from their rightful home to places unknown on a reservation Geronimo cast a shadow on them Sitting Bull warn them of a day this would change Red Cloud brought his people means and claims Crazy Horse won through trials and fame All of their demands were betrayed as the pot of gold was on their plains, all of the treaty renegade once the Super discover the golden stage, like a swirl the rules change A fur is torn and the removal goes on remove the tribes to places unknown (to a reservation) the Spirit cries on and the dry winds comes T hey performed a ritual dance To call the ancestors out to grant At sunrise they drew their last chance To proclaim victory over all evil clan (Ohiyesa) Red Cloud was the last to sign He refused to do so until all was glide New way to find a goal to climb Value of a mule by weighing his ride Martin Luther King spoke of the promise land, Cheik Anta Diop told us who built the big Sphinx, Malcom X taught us how to raise for our selves, Marcus Garvey brought us vision of our glory

You lift my heart; you fill my soul chatting on the glass window Darling please don’t let me go. You’ll try for me and I for you Passion love is rushing through Darling I will let you look into Dressed as Star oh sweet lady in your soft, sandy lacey Spring is near hopping Daisy May sways the spirit gets groovy You are from the sea and I from the snow May we wash our clothes to glow? Merciful we enter the row A dragonfly flows by your eyes Will I ever recognize? Fairy tales are like blue skies Open air is a life savior game In my heart you will remain I’ll arrive on the Sunday late night train

I called to say happy birthday Harmony and greeting to sway Wish I was near to kiss and stay Can you solve this new charade? He will carry on the flame He will raise us from the grave He will be remembered as brave Black soul conqueror of the wave Girl you hiving upstairs where the Gods have no ceiling Girl you gliding so rare far way sailing Girl what you are saying do you understand when I’m praying Holy day let’s celebrate, Holy day celebrate I will be on my way, next year’s holiday To bring you joy and taste I will be there to cheer and stay He will carry on the flame He will raise us from the grave He will be remembered as brave Peaceful soul from the wave Girl you hiving upstairs where the Gods have no ceiling Girl you gliding so rare far way sailing Girl what you are saying do you understand when I’m praying Holy day let’s celebrate In bright garments of timeless days Sometimes the answer comes very late Girl you hiving upstairs where the Gods have no ceiling Girl you gliding so rare far way sailing

about

Got to hold on (to your sanity) represents my take on the situation perilling the world. Enforcing values and customs to be challenged but the ones that are authentic always remain. So I took out some time to craft these 11 songs to show solidarity to people here and abroad and to reenter that we are not alone and together we can be stronger.

Au temps éclatant, the first track spells of the streets filling up with laughter and innocence of children's playing safely outside which seems like a thought of the past. No man a call only Jah Bless these days and every day, Got to hold because in the big Apple Sea it is not what we think in comparison to the Big Animal Kingdom that knows what time of day it is, I argue I've been here a long time and many Lonesome road for the one that has crossed mountains and valleys to reach the peak where it is often very lonely, so Jah World is where it is at for the kingdom of Jah is ignored in urban centres as romance is often desired but not encouraged in this aseptic time. Honesty is the order to overcome and achieve our place calling upon Mary oh Mary to save us as Jah praises, we take the side of safety, If I didn't know then I surely know now how this world runs, so we have to Let them go by when you know it is better for your mental stability as we will all go even Geronimo's preservation is reserved today to our memories that need to remember the stories of brave ones in the wild prairies so You lift my heart, as I hope for an new union but so Far way sailing reminds me of when you kidding, the spirit is always near in one peaceful space, to bring us guidance and strength.
