A Few Favorite Spirituals
"RASTAMAN CHANT"
I hear the words of the rasta man say
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down
Said, I hear the words of the higher man say
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down
And I hear the angel with the seven seals
Babylon your throne's gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down
I say fly away home to zion, fly away home
I say fly away to zion, fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over
I will fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over
I will fly away home
One brlght morning when my work is over
I will fly away home
I say fly away home to zion, fly away home
I say fly away to zion, fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over
I will fly away home
"KAYA"
Wake up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose
For the rain is falling
Got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
Got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling
I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
I feel so good in my neighborhood
So here I come again
I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling
I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
I feel so good in my neighborhood
So here I come again
I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling
Get up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose for the rain is falling
Well kayaman, kaya, kaya
"NATURAL MYSTIC"
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie
One and all got to face reality now
Though I try to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible
To go living through the past
Don't tell no lie
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear
Such a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
I won't tell no lie
If you listen carefully now, you will hear
"SOUL REBEL"
I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer.
I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer.
See the morning sun, the morning sun,
On the hillside.
If you're not living good, travel wide,
You gotta travel wide.
Said I'm a living man,
And I've got work to do.
If you're not happy, children,
Then you must be blue,
Must be blue, people say.
I'm a rebel, let them talk,
Soul rebel, talk won't bother me.
I'm a capturer, that'w what they say,
Soul adventurer, night and day.
I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
Do you hear them lippy.
I'm a capturer, gossip around the corner,
Soul adventurer. How they adventure on me.
But, see the morning sun, the morning sun,
On the hillside.
If you're not living good, travel wide,
You gotta travel wide.
Said I'm a living man,
I've got work to do.
If you're not happy, then you must be blue,
Must be blue, people say.
I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer.
Do you hear me?
I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning.
Soul rebel, rebel at midday time.

"SUN IS SHINING"
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
Make you wanna move your dancing feet now
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, yall, can you understand?
When the mornin gather the rainbow, yeah, yeah
Want you to know, Im a rainbow too now
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, yall, can you, can you, can you understand?
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet now
Make you wanna move your dancing feet, yeah
But to the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can, here I stand, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Can you understand me now, baby?
Do you believe me?

"AMBER"
Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
This phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Dont give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
Still its fine from afar, and you know that
Whoa, brainstorm take me away from the norm
Whoa, I got to tell you something
"ELECTRICITY"
This song started as a rant against haters
But thatd be giving in to the instigators
If there is one thing Id like to pull off
When someone steps with hate all I do is just scoff
You cant burn me
The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice thats spent everytime you work it
Every life form is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is electricity
You cant avoid that
Evolution is fact
Were all from the same lucy
Despite differences you see
Im in disbelief at what people will believe
All along I thought we had our hearts on our shirtsleeve
If one thing I can say as a piece of advice
Dont believe it till you see it and then see it twice
Its so funny
The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice thats spent everytime you work it
Every life form is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is electricity
You cant avoid that
Evolution is fact
Were all from the same lucy
Despite differences you see
A call out for unity
In every province and city
What do you think weve been saying
Since we first started playing
"FLOWING"
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing
Away away
To all that I despise
Along the way to close my eyes
You cant be let down if you dont expect the world
Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping girl
If somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
Cursed consciousness its your private hell
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing
Away away
To all that I despise
Along the way to close my eyes
Tick tick tick the clock bludgeons your mind
Endlessly replaying times that were unkind
Go away sun Im not prepared for you today
It seems you are it seems you are
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing
Away away
To all that I despise
Along the way to close my eyes
"INNER LIGHT SPECTRUM"
When I shadow box inside my skull
Bothered by the senselessness
I wish for the messiah
Indian woman, babylon
There is one thing I will say on life
We are livin yeah
Let it flow
Cuz it wont stop
And when the kind consiousness yes come unto you
You will know and it wont stop
When I wipe the sleep from my eyes
Will my fondest dream please come true
Crush my heart with a hammer
Make a purer one babylon
There is one thing I will say on life
We are livin yeah
Let it flow
Cuz it wont stop
And when the kind consiousness yes come unto you
You will know and it wont stop
But mean people I say choke on it
Gagging all the way
May you remember the texture for days
But youll get used to
The feeling of your pride
Of your pride
Chugalug it
Time after time
Learning your lesson
Will do you fine
Do you fine
"LIFE'S NOT A RACE"
A day like today is for you
To let your mind unwind like you ought to
Feel the earth turn round when your heart rate slows
Contemplating the thing only your heart knows
That lifes not a race
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In the mystery
In a future world
Long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so
The world whirls around your mind in a golden spiral
The natureal way that things organize
You cant stop entropy sowhy even try
Observe the conscious flow and dont mystify
Lifes not a race
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In the mystery
In a future world
Long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so
Slippin into a trance
A chance encounter in the autumn
What do I see an opportunity
And then, I got em
Sought a chill-out mix to
Carve some space
To make you wanna listen
Its a a bubblin spring and
Double in kings of
This soundsystem
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In the mystery
In a future world
Long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so
Do you see world without end
The rising sun my friend
Imagine cloud like
You will form again
In the spaceyboredom
In the autumnof late afternoon
You are calm
Just like a sleepy room

My Favorite
Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the and of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.

Excellent Lyrics Blair2be.
Bob marley's music is considered as timeless. His lyrics have such power and inspiration. My favourite is "One Love" and most of those you have already written here. 311 sounds very interesting too although I have not heard any of their songs, just reading what you've written here has inspired me to have a listen to their music. Those lyrics are dynamic also.
Thanks for sharing these songs with us, - Imageimaginer

Personally Bob Marley And 311 Are My Favorite Artists. 311's Music Has A Lot Of Energy And I Can Relate To The Blend Of Science And Spirituality Contained In The Lyrics.
- Stay Positive And Love Your Life; 311
- Stir It Up; B Marley

A Beautiful Jamaican Hymn
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And where he went
When he remembered Zion
For the wicked, carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha’s song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Over I
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And where he went
When he remembered Zion
For the wicked carried us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha’s song in a strange land?
