Story Behind the Song
With two day to go before the gig, Adam and Jeff jumped up and helped us make the show happen. Take some time with the lyrics, there's an important message there.
Lyrics
Between the myth of the sky and the lie of the land
Regard brother Marley, a man is a man oh, man
Regard brother Marley, who lost his feet to stand
With a heart burned Irie-I, he lost his feet to stand
A toe left untended, brought JAH-prophet down
chorus
Regard brother Elvis, a man is a man, oh man
Regard brother Elvis, who lost his feet to stand
With a trust so strong, he lost his feet to stand
Pills and pork and pimpin' brought JAH-brother down
chorus
Regard Rastafari, a man is a man, oh man
Regard Rastafari, who lost his feet to stand
With a faith so strong, he lost his feet to stand
A faith in the bluehats, brought JAH-kingdom down
The lion was a lamb, on the alter of UN
The lion was a lamb, on the alter of union
Regard all I-brothers, a man is a god, oh man
Regard all I-brothers, who fear the sky to stand
We all got wings to fly and wings to try, now
We all got wings to flly and wings to fly, yeah
To bring JAH-kingdom down, from the sky yeah, to the ground
It all starts from the ground, yeah
