	Story Behind the Song Chris got us into Reggae. Everything's fundamental, breaking down each instrumental part into its own solid, simple rhythm. Each simple instrumental part then locks together into a main theme. Like a well built engine, the parts syncopate together. We wanted to try a reggae stle, and were really psyched when Ripehillside Grove came together. Chris wanted the song to be a description of heaven on earth, a physical, spiritual experience. Lyrics Are we the same As we used to be As we used to be We were never afraid Oh the days Of lying and running away In the Hillside Mango Grove You could find us in the shade When the fruit was ripe We had envisioned and seen the throne With our hands we used to play Now we work them to their bones Hear what I say Enough of that old way There must be a better way For us to build our homes The mighty winds of the storm Have swept us all astray We toil for tomorrow To fulfill the prophecy Said right the love Will rain down from above And there we will stay And sing until the day Hear me up on this High rock top Singing to the heavens Before they take me home Now and again Hot as fire striking down In the desert sun My eyes play tricks on me My lord is the ocean My longtime friend is waiting there And will say who has the key Sharing a can of variety I will search the days for you To find you on the ground There will be a Ramification someday Say please lead me To the right road So I might find the ripe grove As I come of age Hear me up on this High rock top Singing to the heavens Before they take me home Speak and play rhythms with me Forever down by the sea Released and unfettered Free for eternity Hold on forever no doubt Time will tell for now I shout Pray to be listended to and hope peacefully All of my good life I've been waiting here for you Yes I now know Exactly what to do
