The ways of the Lord are straight and narrow
But the ways of the world are far and wide In dispensation the right thing is so hard to do now While wickedness is all around So what's the use of all the fuss and fight What about the basic human rights There's enough for one and all Living the ways of the Lord every day and night If we lived together this life would be much better If we loved one another we all could be so free The life we live, the way we handle ourselves Remember Lucifer is around So what's the use of all the fuss and fight What about the basic human rights That's enough for one and all Living the ways of the Lord every day and night The poor baby's hungry, no food can they find Mother is going out of her mind Father has upped and gone away He has fallen into crime The poor baby's hungry, no food can they find Mother is going, mother is going out of her mind |

Yellow sun show out your face,
Injustice is in this human race Some living big while others living small And they don't hear when the children call Whoy whoy whoy whoy even if they're crying Whoy whoy whoy whoy The homeless need some shelter He gave the sun to shine for all of mankind He gave the sun to shine for all, Everyone of mankind He gave the sun to shine For all those living in creation He gave the sun to shine for all Mister plenty showing nothing, No love and kindness For his fellow brethren, He's got everything And they've got nothing And he knows they're in need Of something now, They want some food for their table, Their backs need some clothing I said you must be blind, Can't you see mankind When we read and discover ourselves The injustice of this here government The yellow sun don't hide away your face Injustice in this human race Some living big while others living small And they don't hear when the children call If they bawl, If they cry now they need some food For their children now He gave the sun to shine for all mankind He gave the sun to shine for all |

I didn't know at the time what you were saying
I never know at the time what you were doing I didn't know at the time what you were saying I never know at the time what you were doing Tried to show how much I care Kept on waiting you were never there The show's now over I'll call your bluff Said you're coming but that's not enough Oh I've waited in vain look how long You've kept me standing in the rain Spring turns to Autumn and I still can't hear no word I didn't know at the time what you were saying I never know at the time what you were doing I didn't know at the time what you were saying I never know at the time what you were doing Everything is for a while , Even the rain mast cease for the sun to shine The game's now over I've had enough As the third partner in a three-way love affair Knows two is company three is a crowd, now Spring turns to Autumn, and I still can't hear no word I didn't know at the time what you were saying I never know at the time what you were doing I didn't know at the time what you were saying I never know at the time what you were doing I didn't know at the time what you were saying I never know at the time what you were doing I didn't know oh no I never know oh no |

How many times I've heard you say
You want to see Zion How many times I've heard you say I and I belong In this road we trodding, Winding and turning As we bend a new corner, In this bright, bright morning time The sun has fallen from the sky Clouds and rain now filling the sky Your will is strong, Fret not humble lion You soon see Mount Zion You soon see Mount Zion Waste not so that you may never say Oh how I wish I had The bread I once threw away Make haste now in this time While the sun is still shining And then one bright morning You'll up and fly away How many times I've heard you say You want to see Zion How many times I've heard you say I and I belong In this road we trotting, Winding and turning As we bend a new corner, In this bright, bright morning time The sun has fallen from the sky Clouds and rain now filling the sky Your will is strong, Fret not humble lion You soon see Mount Zion You soon see Mount Zion You soon see Mount Zion You soon see Mount Zion In the road we trotting, Winding and turning As we bend a new corner, In this bright, bright morning time The sun has fallen from the sky Clouds and rain now in the sky Your will is strong, Fret not humble lion You soon see Mount Zion You soon see Mount Zion You soon see Mount Zion You soon see Mount Zion |

Candles burning in the night
Just like a child's life We've got to save them Candles burning in the night Just like a child's life We've got to save them Jah in all my days I'm so ashamed To see what's really happening They're running all about They're so out of order And have no behaviour Candles burning in the night Just like a child's life We've got to save them Candles burning at both ends How can they last the night Jah give I the knowledge now To expect that which I cannot change Give I the wisdom To know the difference And give I the courage To change what I can Candles burning in the night Just like a child's life We've got to save them Candles burning at both ends How can they ever expect to learn If they don't listen How can they ever expect to learn If they don't look and see Experiences of life Have taught them nothing They know not that it is they And them alone Can set us free Candles burning in the night Just like a child's life We've got to save them Candles burning at both ends How can they last the night |

Oh but I pray thee give me one thing
Give me love from your heart Where does the fire of love kindle first In the heart, in the hearts of every man Taking your chances, not knowing fire burns To give love to receive no love in return That emptiness it brings tears in your eyes Tell me why you're doing this now at this time When love fire should be burning Love is the force I said let there be light In the heart, in the hearts of every man He who drowns in his tears will Cling on to the memory Hopelessly clutching onto yesterday's properties And murders love, it's just tears in your eyes Tears in your eyes, you cry, why oh why Must you feel this feeling in your soul Now that you know that love kindles first In the heart, in the hearts of every man. Don't take any chances, you know Fire burn, just give love, you'll receive Love in return and happiness It brings joy in your world Tell me why, you got to keep it burning Love is the force, that's why there is life In the heart, in the hearts of every man See them drowning now in their own tears Holding on to the dwindling profits of yesteryear Murders love and cause tears in your eye Tell me why you do this Tears in our eyes we cry why Love in our hearts so why Why must we feel that same feeling In our soul Love oh love fire Love oh love Love fire it burns bright not again Ain't no man who has no friend But I know sparks turn into flames Love fire burning bright again Sending out love warning The fire keep it burning |
