RIVERSIDE
Where is the love to be found, oh People? Nowhere around
For I woke on Saturday morning
Feeling sticky and dirty after work
Took a walk down a Riverside
I roll a little spliff
Sat down a stone and start to cool off
With my burden down the Riverside
For I check around the youth
And I try to teach the truth

Chorus:
Lay their burden on the Riverside
I walk through every corner
Try to find someone to talk to but I have to
/chorus/
For I walk and I talk
And I linger and I search
/chorus/
And I walk , I met the youthman Pocket
And I try to search around them
/chorus/
And I sat down quietly, Watch the fishes circle around the little stones
/chorus/
I cup my ears and I heard the little birds whistling in the tree likee so
/chorus/
Live good among your neighbor like sister and brother and come with me a Riverside
All you need is pray to Jah, quietly
You see secret shall be revealed
/chorus/
Jah provides for the birds in the air and the fishes in the sea so what about me
/chorus/
Look at the crow they toil not neither do they spin
Yet father provide for them
/chorus/
Let uss walk and talk and pray quietly in search
/chorus/
Look at the color of those clothes, oh Jah
Make each and every one individually
/chorus/
Where is the love? Where is the togetherness too?
/chorus/
I can't take the war and I can't take the shooting
Neither the looting, just
/chorus/
I tried around Rema, even in The Jungle
To find a quiet rest
Round there in a Nannyville, my heart come to a trail
/chorus/
And I Knock, and I search, and I whisper and I preach
/chorus/
Where is the quietness and the love to be found in some corner?
/chorus/
Let us walk, let us search, let us examine and let us see
/chorus

[jacquesnangwale]

Music of Substance in its entirety...Music that defies not the core principles of morality and most significantly inspires alot...Am glad that my late Dad taught me and initiated to appreciate this peculiar genre of music 🎵🎶....To all my rastaman, keep it up and forget not to preach the teachings of Humanity
