Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, where I stand
(Monday morning)
Here I am
Want you to know just if you can
Where I stand
(Wednesday morning)
Tell myself a new day is rising
(Thursday evening)
Get on the rise, a new day is dawning
(Friday morning)
Here I am
(Saturday evening)
Want you to know just
Want you to know just where I stand
When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too
So, to the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can
Where I stand
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
We'll lift our heads and give Jah praises
We'll lift our heads and give Jah praises, yeah
Sun is shining, weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can

15, still at school, late 1977, I got the Kaya album months before it was released in March 78. One of our the supply teachers had a good friend that worked at EMI; she knew I loved reggae music and put it on cassette for me. Every single track takes me back, especially Sun is Shining and Crisis! A Master Class band, never to be repeated. Peace & love!
