Lyrics from Above The Bones

HIGHER HEIGHTS


People the power
Is in your hands
To chase out corruption
To heal this beautiful land
Jah beautiful land
Oh yeah yeah

People the hour
The hour is at hand
And we can come together now
Rise up and take a stand

Cause we've got the powers yes
To stop those war mongers
Though they try to divide us all
Jah love has to conquer

We've got the powers yes
Together we'll be so much stronger
And the babylon system
Won't be able to stand any longer

Higher higher heights
Higher higher yo
Higher higher yeah woy yo yagga yo
Higher higher heights
Higher higher yo
Higher higher yeah woy yo yagga yo

Acquisition of material things
Won't satisfy your soul
Only Jah love is everlasting
It never leaves us in the cold
But it's a shame to see mother earth and her children
Being bought and sold
Some of them say things have changed
They still remain the same
As in the days of those pirates of old

Higher higher heights
Higher higher yo
Higher higher yeah woy yo yagga  yo
Higher higher heights
Higher higher yo
Higher higher yeah woy yo yagga yo

(Gtr Solo)

How good and how pleasant it is
When we dwell in unity and love
It's as precious as the rains
As the dew from the mountains above

I would fly to the hills and be at rest
If I had the wings of a dove
But since I have no wings iya
Hear the voice of our supplications

Higher higher heights
Higher higher yo
Higher higher yeah woy yo yagga yo
Higher higher heights
Higher higher yo
Higher higher woy yo yagga yo

For truth and for rights
For peace and for love
Good God we need justice justice justice
But I know some won't want to discuss this
What's this what's this what's this

Oh people the power
Is in your hands
To chase out corruption
To heal this beautiful land
Jah beautiful land

ABOVE THE BONES

Oh let us rise
Above the bones
Let us remember the memories

Filled with compassion
Not scarred by hunger
No not blinded by the ashes of the past

My eyes have not seen it
yet it in my soul I know
No conception is hidden
Let there be love

I wanna go home
Take me home
I've got to go home
Take me home

And we gonna rise yeah
High above the flames
Our hearts open as the endless sky
No more deception
No more shame
Just a reflection of the natural high

Ah do you remember that melody
Ah oh yeah do you remember that song so free
Yeah I wanna go home
Take me home
I've got to go home
Take me home

Oh let us rise
Above the bones
Let us remember the memories
No more afraid
No more alone
Let our spirits fly so free

In my arms a little child wrapped tight in prayer
Safe from harm oh yeah
Ever guided by Jah Jah fire

I wanna go home
Take me home
I've got to go home
Take me home
I wanna go home
Take me home
Got to go home

So take me home...(repeat)

MY LOVE GOES WITH YOU

If there was one song that I could sing to help you through each and every day
I would sing a song to remind you that we're only ever living for today

My love goes with you yeah
In all that you do
My love goes with you yeah
In all decisions that you make

Well sometimes we get so tired of the struggle it seems as if there's no way out
Mm so caught up in desire it's so hot there in the fire and you're lost in doubt

My love goes with you
In all that you do
My love goes with you yeah
In all decisions that you make

In every book you read and in every glass of water that you're drinking
In every breath your breathing and in every little thought that you're thinking
I hope that you can find a little free time for yourself
I hope that you can find a little music after your own heart

Cause my love goes with you
In all that you do

I hope that you can find the balance between the mystic and mundane
I hope that you can navigate your way between the sacred and profane
Yes I hope that you can find your vision between the sunshine and the rain
That you find your truth and when you do it doesn't cause you too much pain

Cause my love goes with you yeah
In all that  you do
My love goes with you
In all decisions that you make
Yeah my love goes with you
My love goes with you

Yeah you know I get so concerned and I wonder how you're gonna make it
If I can't be there for you all the time how you gonna take it
And then I don't worry no
Cause my love is strong
Then I don't worry no no no
My love for you lives on and on and on

Yeah my love goes with you
In all that you do
My love goes with you yeah
In all decisions that you make

My love goes with you
Everywhere you go
My love goes with you
My love goes with you

COASTLINE JOURNEY

Why she does
What she does
Your guess is good as mine
I've been seeking head highs and above
Right now a ripple would be fine

She made me fall so in love
She's got me ridin so high
She tests my patience just because
She knows she's the only one who's on my side yeah

She captures my imagination
And everything in between
She fills my soul with inspiration
And she washes my spirit clean

So I sing of her glory
Cause I live by her grace
And I'll follow this coastline journey
Just to see her shining face

(GTR SOLO)

No man can contend with her forces
Yet she is so fragile
She's got countless brave white horses
In her arms I'm just a child

She made me fall so in love
She's got me ridin so high
She tests my patience just because
Well she knows that she's the only one who's still by my side yeah

Why she does
What she does

3RD EYE VISION

Whoohoohoo yeah

I heard you saying it wont' make a difference
It's only you and it's just this once yeah
It's only this time

Don't you think that it all adds up
There's a reaction for each action many drips fill the cup
Where do you draw the line

Know thyself and to thine own self be true
Any other way is gonna make you feel blue yeah
Ya gotta reason to be here

Hey maybe if we focus and we get it together
We could raise the human consciousness and make things better yeah
I know you think I'm a dreamer

But I know that you're also seeking peace of mind
Wonderin' why you feel so tired why your third eye's blind
I know that you're also trying to find your place
Somewhere out in time and somewhere out in space

Get so exhausted from all the exhaust
From living in fear , from living in a box hey
How come we always have to drive
I keep wishing corporations, and the politicians
Would make tighter restrictions on our fossil fuel emissions and meanwhile
Why don't we walk
If we all did a little then a lot would be done
We could clean up the mess and try to have some fun yeah
I'm off to plant a tree now
Cause if everybody takes and nobody gives
There'll soon be no air to breathe and no where to live
But you can't stop mother nature

But I know that you're also seeking peace of mind
Wonderin why you feel so tired why your third eye's blind
I know that you're also trying to find your place
Somewhere out in time and somewhere out in space

Did you remember to give thanks for the food
The earth air the water and everything good
The fire's still burnin'
Talk to yourself cause no one knows you better
Even take the time to write yourself a letter
To know the wheels are still turnin'
There's no better time than now to stand up straight
Take a deep breath Lord it's never too late to
Exhale your confusion
They say its all been done and there's no sense trying
But they don't really know you and they're probably lying
You got to see for yourself yeah

But I know that you're also seeking peace of mind
Wonderin why you feel so tired why your third eye's blind
I know that you're also trying to find your place
Somewhere out in time and somewhere out in space

MOUNTAINS MEET THE SEA

Where the mountains meet the sea
Where the sunshine meets the rain
That is where I love to be
Where my true vision remains

You will always be who you are
Yeah I will always be who I am yeah yeah
Though this world's been done by war
The lion shall rest with the lamb

Where the mountains meet the sea  ooh yeah
Where the sunshine meets the rain
That is where I love to be  ooh yeah
Where my true vision remains

We will rest in the arms of music
We will rest in the arms of love
Together we'll travel through the mystic yeah
As if we had the wings of a dove
As if we had the wings of a dove

Jah love, Jah love is sweeter
Than the honey on the comb
It cannot be measured by any meter, oh no
Cause only Jah love is my home
Only Jah love is my home  ooh yeah
Only Jah love is our home
Only Jah love is our home  yeah yeah
Only Jah love is my home
Only Jah love is my home
repeat....

LONG ROAD

Well I and I are troddin along
A long long road
Yes I and I are troddin along
A long long road

It's easy to get lost on it
It's winding and it's rocky too
Jah people paid the cost on it child
So to yourself please be honest and true

Cause I and I are troddin along
A long long road
Yes I and I are troddin along
A long long road

Some will claim to be your friend
Then leave you just around the bend
Some just live on false pretenses
So Jah Jah children must defend one love

Well slow down for a minute
You might see that you're in it
Slow down for a minute
You might see that you're in it oh it's true

And you know that
It's surely got it's ups and downs
So we've seen the smiles and the frowns
Remember that we're homeward bound
Cause the time is coming around

I and I are troddin along
A long long road
Yes I and I are troddin along
A long long road

So don't cry for the falling leaves
Don'' cry for the fallin leaves
Don't cry, Don't cry, Stay roots

Cause we keep on troddin
We keep on troddin
We keep on troddin along

Yeah we keep on troddin
We keep on troddin
We keep on troddin along

Yeah we keep on chantin til we chant down old babylon
yeah yeah we keep on troddin ....

SOME PATH

Some paths will not forget you
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you left
Some paths will not forget you
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you wept


White horses dancing on the ocean
Coal fire burnin in the hills
Sweet smell of rain upon the dry land
Point to the ground and ask are you still

CHORUS

Once upon a country road you danced
Smell of orange leaves crushed up in your hands
Sun so hot it shimmered on the pavement
Said it looked like diamonds in the sand

CHORUS

Hear familiar voices out in the distance
Hoping someone out there will throw you a line
We're all out here on the edge of existence yeah
We're all out here on the edge of time time time time

Wheeee...

PEACE & LOVE

You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love

You said you're tight with the fashionable scene yeah
Like a hand in a glove
You said it's all about champagne and limousines
And what fills your cup
But you'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love

So you tell me that it's peaches and cream yeah
And all your pretty stuff
You said this sweet life that we're livin' is a dream
But I'm callin your bluff
Because you'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love

You said it's all about goin' to the gym now
And getting real buff
But like the big bad wolf you can't come in
Though you'll huff and you'll puff
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love

Peace and love
Peace and love
Peace and love
Peace and love

All over this Earth people grieving
Who have had it so rough
So don't you try to deceive no one
And act like you're tough

Because you'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love

You'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
Peace and love
Peace and love....
