"The Light" lyrics

Some rob and steal the light
As Rome was burning to the ground
You say today they've gone and lost their way
In search of a new Jerusalem
In his heart it was a fire, burning, burning down!
In his heart it was a burning fire
It a go burn
It a go burn, it a go burn!

Jah light cast from stars far away
And the moonlight reflecting always
An eternal power illuminates us all
None shall escape into the shallow water below

All manners of existence among the four corners
Of the world have reflected the one principle teaching
That there is a light, a source, an energy!
And this energy that is swirling, and circling
And surrounding us, it last forever! Indeed, it has no end
But for the physical, the individual, life is something
Quiet different, our energy burns bright until we reach
Our true potential or perhaps we fail
But with time we come into great reflection
What purpose do we serve and what is the right direction?

Jah light cast from stars far away
And the moon light reflecting always
An eternal power illuminates us all
None shall escape into the shallow water below

So the question is not, does the light exist
But the question really is
What are we going to do with it?
You see, some will come to absorb
And some reflect the light, but we the elders wonder
Will there be enough wisdom to keep it burning bright?

Broken in defeat
Feeling empty in your heart
You jump inna di quicksand yo!
What's right inna your face
Ya cannot see in the dark
Brighten up this world
Ya must find a spark!
Ya cannot see the light at all
Even when it's right beside them
It's right next to them, Jah-Jah show them!
