Preacherman, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
WHAT LIFE IS REALLY WORTH.
It's not all that glitters is gold:
HALF THE STORY HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!
Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
YOU WILL LOOK FOR YOURS ON EARTH:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah
WE SICK AND TIRED OF A YOUR ISM-SKISM GAME
DYIN N GOIN TO HEAVEN IN A JESUS NAME, LORD.
WE KNOW WHEN WE UNDERSTAND:
ALMIGHTY GOD IS A LIVING MAN.
YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLES SOMETIMES,
BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.
SO NOW WE SEE THE LIGHT (WHAT YOU GONNA DO?)
WE GONNA STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS!!!!!

Thank you for this post.
I first heart Reggae music in Jamaica in 1965 when I was a 20 year old Navy Radioman on my last tour. I fell in love with the beat immediately. A few years later I discovered Bob Marley's music and a host of additional Jamaican songwriters and I was smitten all over again. In the last 30 years I tuned into the lyrics and began to see a bigger picture. I didn't know as a young man how repressed the Jamaicans were by their English masters. But before long, I recognized it in his lyrics.
I have always been drawn to the Blues, American Blues in particular. Bob Marley gave us Jamaican Blues and a beautiful Wake Up call. I still draw sustenance from him today.
I have his Greatest Hits album and I've always loved this song. Bob Marley's music has had a Huge impact on my own. Whenever a new song emerges for me with that Reggae Beat in the background, I think Bob Marley - A Prophet, A Spiritual Warrior and a Lightworker long before anyone knew that word.
Love the Marley,
