To sing a peace song

Words & Music By Ziggy Marley

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you
When you smile I'll smile along
When you cry my comfort comes
When you walk I'll be beside you
Holding your hands
When the sun come out we play
I'll never be far away
When you tell me that you love me
This is what I'm gonna say

( Chorus )

Like the fish loves the sea
Like the honey and the bee
Like a lizard loves to climb
Up into a tree
Like a bird loves to fly
Way up in the sky
Like a worm loves to go
Way down low

( Chorus )

Like the grass loves to be green
And the earth loves to be clean
Like the sun loves to shine
And the monkey loves to climb
Hey it happens naturally
And that's the way it's got to be
And the worm still loves to go
Way down low

( Chorus )

From the first time that I saw you
I knew that it was true
There'll be a lifelong time to spend
Around the corner around the bends
Up the hills and through the valleys
No matter how things change
This one thing will remain
I'll sing it again and again

I love you too, I love you too
I love you too, I love you too
I love you

When the sun come out we play
I'll never be far away
And when you tell me
That you love me
This is what I'm gonna say

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love youwith Rita Marley & Cedella Marley

Hey... I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free

Mommy loves to work and daddy loves to play
Sometimes daddy got to go far away
I'm too young to go quiet in the night
Try to put me to sleep I'm gonna give it a fight

I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free

Wake you up at 5 am
Before the sunrise I'll be your friend
And you know I don't like for you to take too long
Just come running when you hear this song

( Chorus )

Well now....I'm gonna miss you now Mr. Far Away
Paint a picture of you and send it off today
And when you come home you can bring it back to me
Color in the lines, define this whole world for me

( Chorus )

Practice makes perfect and that I agree
So don't be surprised that I want to be free
I know what I know and that's all that I know
But I been told you reap what you sow

( Chorus )

Mama's telling me what to eat today
But I don't feel like I'm gonna go that way
What I need is something sweet and nice
What I need is a treat alright

I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
Set the children free. Set the children free
Set the children free

Free up their hearts, free up their minds
Set the children free
Free up their dreams and their imagination

Set the children free
Set the children freewith Jack Johnson & Paula Fuga
Music & Words By Ziggy Marley, Additional Lyrics By Jack Johnson

Now the sun is in my eyes
And you know I'm feeling fine
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now
Where the reggae rhythms beat
Can't help but move my feet
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now

Where we can live in the country
Eat fruits from the tree
Everything's irie
The coconut water is sweet

Where the three little birds they sing
Blue Mountains are happy again
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now
Feel the Caribbean breeze
Stress is calling but I can't be reached
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now

Where we can meet with good people
Dance all the day
Singing don't worry
One love, one heart, one aim, aim, aim

Hummingbirds humming by (ooh ooh)
See the pretty yellow butterfly
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now
In the night hear the crickets sing
Fireflies are jamming
So take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now

Where we can live in the country
Eat fruits from the tree
Everything's irie
The coconut water is sweet

Now the sun is in my eyes
And you know I'm feeling fine
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now
Where the reggae rhythms beat
I can't help but move my feet
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica now
Take me, (take me) take me to Jamaica nowwith Toots Hibbert

If you worry too much
You gonna get stressed

Everyone cries before they talk
There comes a time you gotta be strong
So pick up your feet and sing this song

Some things you learn as you go
But here's one thing you already know

And if at first I don't succeed
I'm gonna try it again
Till I get what I need

These are my hands

My hands are used for many things

I brush my teeth with my hands

I hug with my hands

I even paint with my hands

But what I really love to do most of all with my hands is help

I help my dad to make breakfast with my hands

I help my mom to unpack her bags when she comes from the store with my hands

I help to change my baby brother with my hands

I help to put away my toys with my hands

I love to do many things with my hands but most of all I love to help with my hands

Into the groove, where we lose ourselves just to find who we are
into the groove, where we get to fly but we need not see the sky

don't be afraid of tonight, everything is gonna be alright
take the plunge, soak me up like a sponge
don't be afraid of the light, everything is gonna be just fine

into the groove, where the sun disappears but a light still shines
into the groove, surrounded by the waters of desire, yeah

Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion

bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
hey you can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it

I don't want to fight, hey let's go fly a kite

instruments tuned, harmonies right

Come on baby lets make some music, this is the groove and that's how I do it
come on baby lets make some music, cause you know how, how to do it

Still the storms come, from the coast of West Africa ( repeat )
anger and rage, thunder and lightning, spirits unrest hey they looking for justice
still the storms come, from the coast of West Africa ( repeat )
flood of tears rise, for stories untold, a debt to be paid, hey don't you know

There heroes, are my enemies for one man's profit is another man's loss
and I see their faces in stone and steel with eyes so proud, oh I wish they could feel
for I am come, with the chain and ball to shatter your images, and break down these walls
so this day may be bright free from the shadows of giants in the light
I'm out of my mind

( Chorus )

Eternity is not enough for me to forget, and my children's children, you will regret
for I warn you of a time when empires fall, and the lowly will be lifted hey rule them all
but vengeance is no glory, hate is no pay, truth is my call and peace is my way
so I will endure, through these hard times, while I am neglected and paid no mind

you want me to play the game you tried again and again
to sell myself for fame fit in the format man
to suit the image you want portrayed so the people are still enslaved
you can't define what we do I won't be put in a box for you

I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get out

I of the universe won't be prisoners of your little world
the mind is limitless where time does not exist
we travel far beyond the realms of expectations
and I refuse to be what you expect of me

I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get out

what would you lose to gain the price is high to pay
desire not to be like them to follow the dream of sin
blessed are the meek and humble my own spirit
cause music is a holy thing hey we giving thanks for the blessings

I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get out
mama I get out papa I get out
said I'm gonna hit it down, said I'm gonna kick it down
I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get outWords and music by David Marley

my frustration won't subside I've been tried time after time
but it's not my style to quit there is more to life than this
in obscurity or fame we're all playing in this game
searching for something searching for something

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine

Saturday in the morning and the rain kept falling
brother didn't get no sleep now he's really feeling beat
but there is no time to waste as the devil test his faith
he just walks away on a mission to complete

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
looking oh find you will be fine

she has her hand on her jaw as she wonders away
what will tomorrow bring will her dreams just disappear
she find words are hard to say so she prays everyday
she must find a way may the pieces fall into place

frustration won't subside I've been tried time after time
but it's not my style to quit there is more to life than this
in obscurity or fame we're all playing in this game
searching for something searching for something

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
searching for something, looking for somethingWords and music by David Marley

lost am I in my memories of my forefathers' legacy
I am one of you you are one of me
why don't we set the people free
how I grieve to see fulfillment of prophecy
naive of me to think things could change
while man remain the same so war will be for me everyday
no peace no peace for the children of Israel
Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes
will there be no peace for the children of Palestine

shalom salaam shalom salaam

who will take the blame for the blood of my children
to who does vengeance belong to no one no one
we're dying from tanks and suicide bombs
the only answer is to live as one
and justice will come for my sons and just will come for my sons

shalom salaam shalom salaam

and I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what
is in the heart of you
and I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what
is in the heart of you
children are children no matter color or faith
and I wonder if history will teach us again

so war will be for me everyday
no peace no peace for the children of Israel
Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes
will there be no peace for the children of Palestine

and justice will come for my sons

in the name of god you kill in the name of your god
in the name of god you conquered in the name of your god

all religion should be wiped out
so that people may just live
what divides us is an illusion
made up by men in their confusion

in the name of god you kill in the name of your god
in the name of god you conquered in the name of your god
in the name of god you hate in the name of your god
in the name of god you boast in the name of your god

spoke of love no one would listen
seems everyone's trying to prove something
starting over may be the best thing
so stop the bombs and letês begin

cause this war no one can win and it seems I'll never learn
oh this war no one can win well it seems I'll never learn

in the name of god you kill in the name of your god
in the name of god in the name of your god you conquered
in the name of god in the name of your god

all religion should be wiped out
save the people stand and live
what divides us is an illusion
made up by men in their confusion

in the name of god you kill in the name of your god
in the name of god you conquered in the name of your god
in the name of god you boast in the name of your god
in the name of god you hate in the name of your god

in the name of your god, why do you kill?, why do you hate?, in the name of god, in the name of godWords and music by David Marley

there's a rainbow in the sky all the time don't be blind
there's a rainbow in the sky all the time don't be blind don't be blind

said you I'm living in my fantasy
but is you who are blinded from reality
the material world mean so much to you
you just can't get what I'm telling you

there's a rainbow in the sky all the time don't be blind don't be blind

cause in a town called sorrow there was joy
yes and there I met the painless tear
freed he expressed emotions that egos fear
my life is full of colors yeah my mind is clear

there's a rainbow in the sky rainbow in the sky

found I mercy in every sunrise
I am born again from the womb of the night
all I have I have left behind
minds' eye eyes eye a light will shine

there's a rainbow in the sky all the time don't be blind don't be blind
rainbow in the sky rainbow in the skyWords and music by David Marley

a little collie weed to ease I grief
too much agony living in the limits of big city
a little collie weed to meditate
too much insanity in this society

melancholy mood I eat for my food melancholy mood

rise this morning smile with the sun
oh I'm blessed another day has begun
everything in life has its purpose
find its reason it has its season

melancholy mood I eat for my food melancholy mood

tears leave my eyes I just want to fly
deep down I feel pain
but I know I must rise again

from this melancholy mood melancholy mood
melancholy mood I eat for my food melancholy moodWords and music by David Marley

irie days come on play
let the angels fly let the devils die
got to do what you can with the time at hand
Ali boom mah yeah Ali boom mah yeah
don't worry your mind its just the test of time
in five years these be the good old days

no one knows what the future holds for everything has a season
its not a time for war its a time for peace
tomorrow knows tomorrow woes
I remember when grandpa use to say grandson these be the good old days

these be the good old days

now comes the moon with its starry lights
and so begins the night life
the tribal dance puts me in a trance
as she pulls me in with her magic swing
I asked of her what do we celebrate
she said to me these be the good old days

these be the good old days

leh leh leh leh leh leh leh leh

there is no future there is only now
let's cherish these moments that we now know

these be the good old daysWords and music by David Marley

don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill love

in the blink of an eye time passes us by
where does it go
now will you take a stand for love I am
forever more
these wars have wounded my heart so my trust breaks apart
to human I say these words

don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill love

this chance we should not miss to share this sacred bliss
and spread it all around I'm gonna spread it all around
my heart been broke before but still I must endure
keep the spirits high keep the spirits high
cause it's the greatest things in life calls for the most sacrifice
are we brave are we brave enough

don't you kill love don't you kill love don't you kill loveWords and music by David Marley
