Big Mountain

Resistance, Resistance, Resistance, Resistance
There's no time to worry, there's no time to rest
We've come such a long way, so let's try to hold the best you know
Jah Jah is planning on evils demise
So don't you be confused with the price, always remember that
We know that Jah kingdom come
No we ain't gonna just abandon our conscience, No
You see the master of judgment, Jah Jah know about that
The poor man is the innocent one
The poor man is the innocent one
The strugglin' community
Leave behind those times we spent on compromise
Let your rebel spirit free

Resistance, because we know what's right from wrong
Resistance, we've been strugglin' too long
Resistance, you know the people must come first
Resistance, cause we're just doing Jah Jah work

Roots man knows it, the bingi man is wise
All your modern ways don't inspire me, Jah Jah guide
I build a fire boil my tea, I till the soil plant my seed
Jah creations all I need to fulfill my dreams
They'll try to seduce your soul with temptations of fame and riches
Wine and dine you about the town, try to intoxicate your visions
Ahh, foolish pride, I would just as soon avoid all that jive
No, we cannot achieve our goals backbiting
No, we cannot achieve our goals in deceit
No, we cannot achieve our goals compromising
Let your rebel spirit free

Resistance, because we know what's right from wrong
Resistance, and we've been strugglin' for too long
Resistance, the people must come first
Resistance, 'cause we're just doing Jah Jah work
Resistance, these are the days of purpose
Resistance, it's time to capture your will for justice
Resistnace, oh my people embrace your destiny
Resistnace, we've got to culture love and peace
Resistance, oh my people shine, shine, shine

In a primitive times
The people had culture in their lives
Well respecting their ancestry
Having faith in their destiny, but
Soon the culture would be lost
And, the capitalist man would be the cause
Who give the people their material needs
Oh, Jah Jah children take heed

Live wise and don't you wear no disguise
Live clean, you are a roots machine
Live right and keep Jah inside
'Canuse the future my children is a lookin' bright
Know your culture, know yourself
Believe me my youth
You can't be no-one else
Always lettin' your light shine bright
Oh, Jah Jah children unite

Know your culture Lord
Can't be deceived by the vulture, no
I man come from the roots man school
You can't educate if you talk like a fool, no
Scripture read, nyanbingi bread
I man rather be jailed than to cut off me dreads
Don't put your trust in no wicked mans plan
If you must know the truth you must overstand
My country was built on the red man's land
Born on the back of the black man
The capital man mash the situation
Come now Jah people seek your education
Go forward dread bingi warriors go forward
Help this here country in mourning
Can't you see a new day is dawning

Live wise and don't you wear no desguise
Live clean, you are a roots machine
Live right and keep Jah inside
'Cause the future my children is a lookin' bright
Know your culture, know yourself
Believe me my yourth
You can't be no-one else
Always lettin' your light shine bright
Oh, Jah Jah children unite

Find the need to investigate
You've got to culture your minds
To shine in these times
Break the seal to the real deal
The truth will not remain untold
You must read, children must read every day
Don't keep your history no mystery
Write the words to your own version
Come now Jah Jah children stand strong

Live wise and don't you wear no disguise
Live clean, you are a roots machine
Live right, and keep Jah inside
'Cause the future my children is a lookin' bright

Know your culture, know yourself
Believe me my youth
You can't be no-one else
Always lettin' your light shine bright
Oh, Jah Jah children unite

Know your culture, know yourself
Believe me my youth
You can't be no-one else
Always lettin' your light shine bright
Oh, Jah Jah children unite

Live wise and don't you wear no disguise
Live clean, you are a roots machine
Live right, and keep Jah inside
'Cause the future my children is a lookin' bright

Ooh, yeah
Li-da-di-da-di-da-di-da

Sometimes it's so hard to see
The things that we dread so much come about so easily
And in my distress I often pray
Whoa, Jah Jah, please, when will things start to come my way

You know that better days will come
Seems like it's been so long
We seem to forget so easily
Love needs its share of energy

Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my light
Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my li-i-ight

I feel so safe in saying
That in the end our love will shine
These quarrels that we're havin', my baby
Could only strengthen us in time

Come on closer to me, girl yeah, don't you see
That anything is possible as long as we believe Jah

Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my light
Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my li-i-ight

Now Jah Jah will guide us
Though that goes unsaid
Rather than routin' the system
We'll seek happiness

Build our shelter in the mountains
Next to a blue crystal river
Not until then we will see
Just how bright our future will be

You know that better days will come
Seems like it's been so long
We seem to forget so easily
Love needs its share of energy

Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my light
Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my li-i-ight

Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my light
Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my light

Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my light
Come on closer to me, girl
Touch my li-i-ight

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
and they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city

But don't, oh, no, hesitate
'Cause your love just won't wait
Ooh, baby I love your way everyday
I wanna tell you I love your way everyday
I wanna be with you night and day

The moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power to
Shine, shine, shine
Well, I can see them under the pine

Everyday
I will love , I will love you
I love your way
Oh, baby please

I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one, out of season
