about

The intent of the man carries equal or more force than the tool he swings as he aims to bring about meaningful long term change. "Carriers of the light to loom common children lives" ever on the mission while rooted in jah.

lyrics

Keepers of the light come and
We don’t have to roll thunder and flash lightening

The hammers small but tough enough to break the wall
Brick by brick and chip by chip we’ll tear it down
We need a point of reference cause we bring the sound
Rasta pickney come to warn the town

Carriers of the light
To loom common children’s life

Bit by bit and step by step we’re coming forth
With words of love and signs of peace within our hearts
We take the time to do things right just because
Our calling is our mission we’ll keep pressing on

Carriers of the light
To loom common child’s life
Telling them

Have faith in Jah
Give thanks and praise
Live long and learn His name
He’s worthy to be praised

He’s the key to salvation
Destined to come again whoo ohoh
How long till we greet the Redeemer
Prophecies to be fulfilled
Truth to be revealed
Take heed to the warnings told

Now we’re here to start a flame to cleanse the soul
Of those in captive all confused and left to drown
We take the time to spread Jah message all around
Rasta love is free for everyone

Carriers of the light
To loom common children’s life
Telling them

Have faith in Jah
Give thanks and praise
Live long and learn his name
He’s worthy to be praised

Ain’t no way you should ever go astray when you listen to the music whe di Rasta man a play
love Jah love Jah eh eh eh eh eh
We warning all the youth inna day and night lean to di love and nuh badder wid nuh fight
love Jah Love Jah eh eh eh
