Want my good want my good want my good

You’re telling me that
Ain’t no understanding
Telling me that
Ain’t no peace of mind
Here to find
You’re telling me that
Ain’t  no understanding
You’re telling me that
Ain’t no love to be found
On the ground
Till you wanted to know
How comes the music just a rock soul
How comes the music just rock soul

You’re telling me that
Ain’t no understanding
Telling me that
Ain’t no peace of mind
You’re telling me that
Ain’t  no understanding

You’re telling me that
Ain’t no love to be found
Still you wanted to know
How comes the music just a rock soul

Early this morning

It started to rain

And shout them...

Abandoned to the corner

As I reached down at the corner

I heard a brother say:



Got to be there; Oh lord

Rise up this morning

With the sorrows and pain

Expecting things to be better

They remain the same

Then I set a prayer

Then I give praises



The sun will shine again

Got to be there ...



It started to rain

Run down to the corner

As i reached down at the corner

I heard a brother say:



Got to be there  oh Lord, got to be there.

Good things come to those who wait !

Stay in your wretched state
Till the right time come along
It won’t be long
Till you’ll be singing Jah love songs

Never forget this point of view
Many are called, a chosen few
Hear me children
Don’t go a stray
By watching television
Do what the heathen say
Trials and tribulations, we must bear
Show them all, Jah is who we fear
Chorus
I know you know
One and one make two
A bird in hand
In the bush it means two
Don’t put your basket
Where you can’t reach it
Evil eyes are watching
And want to steal it
Not remembering that
It’s Jah who gives life to live
Job’s wife told him
To curse Jah and live

Keep on singing!
Keep on dancing!
 Never forget this point of view
Many are called, a chosen few
Hear me children
Don’t go a stray
By watching television
Do what the heathen say

Keep on singing yeah!
I won’t be asking why
Cause I know I know
You’re singing your love song

Good things come to those who wait !

Stay in your wretched state
Till the right time come along
It won’t be long
Till you’ll be singing Jah love songs

Never forget this point of view
Many are called, a chosen few
Hear me children
Don’t go a stray
By watching television
Do what the heathen say
Trials and tribulations, we must bear
Show them all, Jah is who we fear
Chorus
I know you know
One and one make two
A bird in hand
In the bush it means two
Don’t put your basket
Where you can’t reach it
Evil eyes are watching
And want to steal it
Not remembering that
It’s Jah who gives life to live
Job’s wife told him
To curse Jah and live

Keep on singing!
Keep on dancing!
 Never forget this point of view
Many are called, a chosen few
Hear me children
Don’t go a stray
By watching television
Do what the heathen say

Keep on singing yeah!
I won’t be asking why
Cause I know I know
You’re singing your love song

Oh yeah !
I’m a ras child
Coming from the abyss
Of a lost tribe
I won’t cry
I’m working in the alley
All alone, yes I Am

Lord you’ve been so good to me
With all your love and sympathy
I want to walk the righteous way
Hel me Jah don’t let me stay
Chorus
You took us away Caribbean sea
Tell me when down there
What did you see
Pure destruction and poverty
Give thanks and praises for his majesty
Good god!
Chorus
All day, all night, all day
Monday to Friday
Saturday ond Sunday,
Oh! Struggler they call me
Struggler, they call me
Looks like the sun will shine today
Oh Lord
Eh I tell you what
Brake their bonds asunder
With thunder!

Wandering drummer messenger
I’m a wanderer, where the spirit leads I go.
A bold adventurer, everywhere, the seeds of love I sow
My fathergift of peace and love, I take to one and all,
To the rich and poor, high and low, on everyone I call
Chorus
I’m the wandering- drummer – messenger
Rom pom Roppo pom pom
Roppo pom pom

Rom pom Roppo pom pom
I tell the negative, that life is not just doom and gloom

I show the positive how to make their talents bloom
I’m like the farmer, who grows the crops, so that others can eat
The work is hard, failures bitter, but success is sweet.
Chorus
I’m the wandering- drummer – messenger
Rom pom Roppo pom pom

You‘ve been my fault when you were mine

And I’m sorry I’ve been blind

Don't be cruel, you shared my life

Put your weapon down now



It was hard to let you go

It was cold the night you called

I used to play the same old song

My baby just cares for me

I know you never loved me more

I know you slept in other arms

But I believe our love was real inside

And I believe



You‘ve been my fault when you were mine

And I’m sorry I’ve been blind

Don't be cruel, you shared my life

Put your weapon down now



So tell me what do you have in mind

Shot me or let me still alive

I used to play the same old song to you

My baby shot me down

I feel the sun upon my face

I feel my story will be erased

I need to help you so

I need to believe in you



You‘ve been my fault when you were mine

And I’m sorry I’ve been blind

Don't be cruel, you shared my life

Put your weapon down now

Welcome to my quiet room
Although you’re here a minute too soon
You got two ears
You got one mouth
Best to listen more than how you shout

When you come here see and blinds
When you come here hear and deaf
You have to brag
You have to boast
Grief come to those
Who brag the most

Welcome to my quiet room
Although you’re here a minute too soon
You got two ears
You got one mouth
Best to listen more than how you shout

When you come here see and blinds
When you come here hear and deaf
You have to brag
You have to boast
Grief come to those
Who brag the most

Welcome to my quiet room
Although you’re here a minute too soon
You got two ears
You got one mouth
Best to listen more than how you shout

When you come here see and blinds
When you come here hear and deaf
You have to brag
You have to boast
Grief come to those
Who brag the most

Welcome to my quiet room
Although you’re here a minute too soon
You got two ears
You got one mouth
Best to listen more than how you shout

When you come here see and blinds
When you come here hear and deaf
You have to brag
You have to boast
Grief come to those
Who brag the most
