"Medicine Man" lyrics
Rising Tide, Mike Love & Clinton Fearon Lyrics
Off to bed at 3 AM up with the rising sun (up with the rising sun)
No time for sleeping there's too much work to be done
The wind blows heavy and the road is long (and the road is, and the road is long)
We got to water the seeds that Jah planted in this song in Jah Song
Oh what a blessing, oh what a burden, to keep this eternal fiya burning
The messengers gather to weather this storm as one
This responsibility has been handed down to we the keepers of this covenant Jah
Will never break will never Bend no
Medicine man (medicine man)
Guitar in your hand (axe in your hand)
Trod the rocky road through the heart of Babylon
Medicine man (medicine man)
Microphone in your hand (mic in your hand)
Following the calling of the almighty Jah Jah plan
Ever awoke will never be broken not for a token, Jah
Heeding the call of the millions cries of the children led to war
Pen to the parchment, ear to the pavement, heart like a falling star
Forever never too far
Flowering towering out of the glow of the morning star
Morning has broken
Revealing all we've lost
Where do we stand now
We've paid the bitter cost
All of these questions
Floating round in this void
Who has the answers now? (Who has the answers?)
Call to the elders
(Call to the youthman)
Guidance and wisdom
(For inspiration)
Call for compassion
(Call For humility)
Bring us together now
(Open your eyes and see)
Let's all unite Jah
Sing now in harmony, all your friends, your enemies, we're gonna need everybody
This responsibility
Is yours if you choose to carry
This message with humility child
Carry your song it won't be long now
Medicine man (medicine man)
Bass guitar in your hand (bass in your hand)
Shaking the foundation of the nations in this barren land
Medicine man (medicine man)
Piano keys in your hand (keys in your hand)
Manifest the blessings help the children now to overstand
No time for sleeping there's too much work to be done
The wind blows heavy and the road is long (and the road is, and the road is long)
We got to water the seeds that Jah planted in this song in Jah Song
Oh what a blessing, oh what a burden, to keep this eternal fiya burning
The messengers gather to weather this storm as one
This responsibility has been handed down to we the keepers of this covenant Jah
Will never break will never Bend no
Medicine man (medicine man)
Guitar in your hand (axe in your hand)
Trod the rocky road through the heart of Babylon
Medicine man (medicine man)
Microphone in your hand (mic in your hand)
Following the calling of the almighty Jah Jah plan
Ever awoke will never be broken not for a token, Jah
Heeding the call of the millions cries of the children led to war
Pen to the parchment, ear to the pavement, heart like a falling star
Forever never too far
Flowering towering out of the glow of the morning star
Morning has broken
Revealing all we've lost
Where do we stand now
We've paid the bitter cost
All of these questions
Floating round in this void
Who has the answers now? (Who has the answers?)
