The Twinkle Brothers' song, "Never Get Burn," is a powerful call for faith and trust in the power of Jah to protect against all harm. The lyrics reference several biblical stories of individuals who faced great peril but emerged unscathed, thanks to their righteousness and Jah's intervention. The opening lines declare that "no fire could burn a righteous Nyah," emphasizing the belief that those who are pure and true to Jah are invincible to harm.
The song then tells the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were cast into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar for refusing to bow down to his golden statue. Despite the intense heat, they emerged unscathed, not even singed by the flames. The song also references Daniel, who was cast into a den of lions but was unharmed, as the lions "took him for a friend." These stories serve as powerful examples of Jah's protection and reinforce the idea that those who trust in him will never be harmed.
The final verse tells the story of Jonah, who was swallowed by a whale but emerged alive. This story serves as a metaphor for the difficulties and trials that one may face in life but emphasizes the idea that Jah is always with us, protecting us from harm.
Overall, "Never Get Burn" is a powerful testament to the strength of faith and the belief that Jah's protection and love will always shine through.
