lyrics

Sound of nature reminds me
I am alive and well
Bird songs always reminds me
I must give thanks

I give thanks and praise oh Jah
I give thanks and praise oh Jah
Sound in nature bless my senses in the morning time,
so, I give praises to the most high

At first light sound in nature reminds me that I’m alive it’s one day living above ground and joy has come at dawn with the sunrise to get up to the struggle oh gosh it hard not one road in life is easy man nah complain man know him should make a start and the most high shall guide me
Oh yes man have to fight, fight just to earn a position and continuously fight fight just to keep said position it’s a daily test of faith

Gimmie little strength oh jah please
Am begging you for strength oh jah
Gimmie little strength oh jah
I need to be fortified yes
Gimmie little strength oh jah please
Am begging you for strength oh jah
Gimmie little strength oh jah
I need to be firm and strong

Oh the locks man stay keen circumnavigate confusion those with the powers and the control are brutal why mek dem heart so cold
Jah oh jah life’s eternal flame fuel ambitions inna me I know excellence doesn’t come by chance but by work and integrity
Help me dung yah please

Gimmie little strength oh jah
Help me dung yah now oh Jah
Gimmie little strength oh jah
I need to be fortified oh yeah es
Gimmie little strength oh jah please
Am begging you for strength oh jah
Gimmie little strength oh jah
I need to be from and strong
In this forever fight

Oh jah jah

Divide and rule is the tactic
Education to control is the plan
Industry pays big bribes to governments to gain access to minds ah wi children
Generations go generations come the more things change the more things remain oh JAH please give I guidance so I may live a free-thinking man

Gimmie little strength oh jah
Gimmie little strength oh jah
Gimmie little strength oh jah please
Begging thy for strength oh jah
Gimmie little strength oh jah
In this forever fight
