Groundation Lyrics
Oh like a hero who's fallen down
Still a man a touch the ground yes, yes
cnd like the angel whose lost it's world
They might a disappear from dem atmosphere, yeah
Oh higher than the eagle come flying
Mountain come sighing
Eagle come flying, mountain come sighing
Travelling over foot beyond ya
Breaking them with thunder
For tears of which them after, oh!
Livith upon a rock and stone
Livith upon a rock and stone
Them use to cry, from them tear dem sight
Oh-oh-oh Lord, we might not chose dem
Oh-oh-oh Jah, our mind is sleeping
Oh-oh-oh Lord, they could a stumble
Oh-oh-oh Jah, here they come a, come a, come a
Still a man a touch the ground yes, yes
cnd like the angel whose lost it's world
They might a disappear from dem atmosphere, yeah
Oh higher than the eagle come flying
Mountain come sighing
Eagle come flying, mountain come sighing
Travelling over foot beyond ya
Breaking them with thunder
Livith upon a rock and stone
Livith upon a rock and stone
Them use to cry, from them tear dem sight
Oh-oh-oh Lord, we might not chose dem
Oh-oh-oh Jah, our mind is sleeping
Oh-oh-oh Lord, they could a stumble
Oh-oh-oh Jah, here they come a, come a, come a
