"Silver And Gold" lyrics

"Silver And Gold"

Jah visit I in silence, come up with a cool, cool sound
Something real feel, coming in just like a holy space
Jah greet I with a warm embrace

Still, some will trade for silver, others for gold
To be wiser than a serpent and be harmless as a dove
In life you must be hopelessly in love

When will we break this dark night?
Ignite the fire light!
To all good people of the Earth
Go look inna your Bible
And you will see
That Ezekiel said to Israel

Oh, it was silver and gold
It is not good for you, not clean for you
In the end silver and gold
Will be surrounded by bone and dust
Leaving only silver and gold
Without even the memory of him
Jah-Jah know!

Some were blind and now they see
While others are slow to realize that
All your wealth can't buy you a ticket through heaven's gate

But as fate would have it a dreamer and seeker
Who some way somehow, yields lightning and thunder
Clean and wrapped in robes after the Mikvah

Slept in a hollow log 'n buss
Just like Moses rock blood
And burning embers fill the air
From Solomon's temple
Oh, you are weighted down, down, down from

Silver and gold
It is not good for you, not clean for you
In the end silver and gold
Will be surrounded by bone and dust
Leaving only silver and gold
Without even the memory of him
Jah-Jah know!
