A Tribute To Bob Marley

Cold ground was my bed last night So long time I have no nice time No woman nuh cry, shed no tear for me Help me sing my song, redemption song Every little thing gonna be alright O this is love that I am feeling. Get up, stand up for your rights We are buffalo soldiers, fighting for survival I shot the sheriff but never shoot the deputy They got to turn I loose now For Jah will never give power to bald head To run come crucify the dread My little darling, stir it up I wanna love you and treat you right Turn your lights down low There is a mystic message in the air Its Exodus, the movement of Jah people And if I had a wing like a dove, I would fly away For what we need Is one love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright.
