"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain" - Bob Marley, Trenchtown Rock

Bob Marley
(6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981)


Is This Love
I wana love ya, and treat you right
I wanna love you, every day and every night
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed
We'll share the same room yeah. For jah provides the bread
Is this love? Is this love? Is this love that I'm feeling?

Three Little Birds
Don't worry, about a thing
Cause every little thing, is gonna be all right
I Can See Clearly Now
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day


Who the Cap Fits
Man to man is so unjust, children:
Ya don't know who to trust.
Your worst enemy could be your best friend,
And your best friend your worst enemy.

Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su 'pon you.
Only your friend know your secrets,
So only he could reveal it.
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Cat Stevens
or Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou, 21 July 1948)

Wild World
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
Moonshadow
... If I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to cry no more.
...
And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have to talk...
...
Oh I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.
Father and Son
... Take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
...
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.

"When you have everything, you have everything to lose" - Diamond on the Inside
With My Own Two Hands
I can change the world - With my own two hands
Make a better place - With my own two hands
Make a kinder place - Oh- with my, Oh- with my own two hands
...
I can make peace on earth - With my own two hands
And I can clean up the earth - Oh- with my own two hands
And I can reach out to you - Oh- with my own two hands
...
I'm gonna make it a brighter place (with my own)
I'm gonna make it a safer place (with my own)
I'm gonna help the human race (with my own) - (with my own two hands)

Now I can hold you - With my own two hands
And I can comfort you - With my own two hands
But you got to use - Use your own two hands
Amen Omen
I still hear you saying
"All of life is chance, 
And is sweetest,is sweetest when at a glance" 
But I live, I live a hundred lifetimes in a day.
But I die a little In every breath that I take.

Revolution
So tell me family now what do you think?
Watch it all go down the great big sink.
Watch how the scum it rises to the top.
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep,
serving the dodgy companies we keep.
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place -
dictionary definition of a rat race.
Pay off those losers we elect to lead,
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed.
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back,
I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm saying

Running through the fire, running through the flame,
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
running through the hopelessness and shame,
revolution already underway.

Big Heavy Pirates man digging those holes,
messing with something that they can't control.
Tresspassing lands where they don't belong,
all I hear is screaming where there once were songs.
I got my brothers there fighting those wars,
fighting over scraps and scraping their souls.
Under a blanket of a fire and pride
that can't keep us warm for the cold inside,
inside, I'm saying
 ...
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?
Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes?
Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,
open my fist my destiny I take!
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,
we call them kings but I see no crown.
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up,
say enough is enough is enough,enough I'm saying
...
Take back your feet, take back your hands.
Take back your words, take back your lands.
Take back your heart, take back your pride.
Don't got to run, don't got to hide.
Revolution.

Dreams Be Dreams
... A short times just a long time when your mind just won't let it go.
...
A dreams a dream
And all this livings so much harder than it seems
But girl don't let your dreams be dreams
You know this livings not so hard as it seems
Don't let your dreams dreams.

Aloha ...
