Just like the land that bear the name Africa
Love is on my mind
It's for everyone no matter where you're from
Love, it cross all lines
Like the feeling of all the seasons changing
Love is a memory
In these last days, when iniquity blazing
Truth love speaks

True love
How do you know, what you mean to me
True love
Where does it show as I live and I breath
True love
In the valley of the shadow
I know that you'll be
(True love) I defense, I conquer death and I conquer the enemy

What is love really if it only affects, one aspect of life?
That's like a musician who only accepts, his own musical type
That's like a preacher who only respects Sunday morning, and not Saturday night
That's how the soldier can come to reflect
That love is more than a man and a wife, I mean

I need true love
Where do you know it, well what you doin' to me (true love)
And does it show as I live and I breath (true love)
In the valley of the shadow, I know you'll be
I defense, I conquer death and I conquer envy

In a time of plenty, Jah gonna keep I strong
Things get how and I keep cool, yeah
Jah gonna keep me strong
When InI cup is empty
Jah gonna keep I strong
When InI cup is full, yeah
Jah keep I from their temptation, come one

True love
Babe do you know what, what you mean to me
True love
Where does it show as I live and I breath
True love
In the valley of the shadow-dow
You'll be
(True love) I defense, I conquer death and I conquer the enemy

Overall Meaning

The song True Love by SOJA is a reflection of the artist's personal experience and contemplation about the true meaning of love. The opening lines compare love to Africa - just as Africa is a vast and diverse place with many different people and cultures, love is also something that transcends all boundaries and reaches people everywhere, regardless of their backgrounds. The chorus emphasizes that true love is not just a feeling, but also an act of defense against death and enemy.

The second verse highlights the importance of love in all aspects of life, and denounces the idea of limiting love to just one area. It urges people to love each other beyond race, religion, gender or sexual orientation, and not just on certain days or occasions. The third verse is a declaration of faith, that despite all the challenges and hardships in life, Jah (God) will always be present to strengthen, protect and guide the believers through the valley of the shadow.

on Here I Am

This guy is in love with a girl and tries pushing her away. They both care a lot about each other, for her own well being he tries to ignore her. But due to his life style of traveling she knows when he's around (tour dates posted online,etc) "she sees on her screen I am so here I am, here I am" he can't keep from seeing her because deep down they both want to be there so here he is. Neither of them care if they date other people normally because they both know they can't be together (maybe distance? Or he cares more about his passion for music?) "She don't call me one and only no she just calls me when she gets lonely" she gets lonely when she's not getting attention from other people where she is so she calls him to feel better because she's lonely and be gives in a lot to talk to her because he enjoys it. "I'm just a passing plan" sometimes he's able to stay away because he doesn't want her to be dependent on him when she's lonely. She knows he's always come back.
