Closer To The Light
Gentleman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have the audacity to hope and set us free
From all the pain and from the strain
There's too much misery
One drop inna the sea from tone to melody
And from a melody into a complex symphony
Behold the mystery, there is so much to see
Behold the seed how it a grow into a mammoth tree
So put aside all your hate and jealousy
This is up to you and me

And Jah will never leave your side no way
Guidance through the night
Protect us from the dutty parasites
We getting closer to the light
Can you see it's getting bright
We done with the wrongs and do the right

Jah will never leave your side no way
Guidance through the night
Protect us from the dutty parasites
We getting closer to the light
Can you see it's getting bright
We done with the wrongs

Time fi release the tension
Talk the words we never mention
Go so then and bun up dem invention
Dem evilous intention
Dem gather up at dem convention
I see dem want decrease people's pension

We all need redemption
From dem oversize clip extension
Tell dem fi put it pon suspension
We haffi pay attention
To reach a different dimension
Way beyond dem comprehension

Jah will never leave your side no way
Guidance through the night
Protect us from the dutty parasites
We getting closer to the light
Can you see it's getting bright
We done with the wrongs and do the right

Jah will never leave your side no way
Guidance through the night
Protect us from the dutty parasites
We getting closer to the light
Can you see it's getting bright
We done with the wrongs and do the right

Sometimes you wonder where but love is always there
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, we know we always care
No matter the atmosphere, we got to be aware
And so we take it and we throw it inna the hemisphere
Whether you far or near, we making this one clear
To all the people in the struggle and the rush out there
So don't you have no fear, the good is always here
Now is the time to prepare

Jah will never leave your side no way
Guidance through the night
Protect us from the dutty parasites
We getting closer to the light
Can you see it's getting bright
We done with the wrongs and do the right

Jah will never leave your side no way
Guidance through the night
Protect us from the dutty parasites
We getting closer to the light




Can you see it's getting bright
We done with the wrongs and do the right
