Praising
Groundation Lyrics

The road was long and narrow
The journey was difficult and fraught with obstacles.

All of dem a feed down in the shadows
Many people were struggling and living in poverty.

The war was famed and terrible
The conflict was well-known and devastating.

Taken them into the garden of Helam
They were led to their ultimate destination, which was a place of judgment.

They back them down in the depths of the sea
Their enemies defeated them completely, leaving them feeling trapped and hopeless.

When they use to call,they use to call upon we
They sought our help and support during difficult times.

When them use to sell children laughing and a talk
They would sell innocent children for profit, without remorse.

The river them forge,to the valley them swarn
Their actions caused a flood of consequences that affected many people.

They've gone to the mountain to face God
They will eventually face the consequences of their actions and be held accountable by a higher power.

Beg them forgivness for they have forgive us
We ask for their forgiveness, even though they have wronged us.

I beg the man the answers before dem
We demand accountability and clarity from those in power.

Call onto the sea which once was my friend
We recall the beauty and peace of the natural world, which has been disrupted by human conflict and greed.

Well now,well now,
An expression of urgency and focus.

Well the light bus the night
Hope and clarity prevails even in the darkest moments.

Iya-man declare want to be the leaders of them world
We declare our desire to lead and guide others towards a better future.

Well now the moon bus the night
Even the quieter and subtler moments can bring light and hope.

and the rhythm's just right
The world is in balance and harmony.

Hollowed in the mur sign upon dem leaders of the world
We are guided by a divine presence and purpose.

Praising ,Praising, Jahovah
We express our gratitude and reverence for the spiritual forces that guide us.

And if they haven't heard let them learn
If others are not aware of our struggles and our message, we will continue to educate and inform them.

Our freedom we'll take man were it was never earned
We will fight for our rights and our liberation, even if it means challenging existing power structures.

Run with your culture Ah-ha-aha-ah
We must be true to our roots and our history, as we move towards the future.

Run with your culture, oh Lord...
Our faith and culture are sources of strength and inspiration in difficult times.

They use to rob I man honey tree
They would exploit and take advantage of our resources without regard for our well-being.

Sell all theirs arms to the
They would profit from weapons and warfare, perpetuating violence and destruction.

Entrap us with dignity
They would deceive us and manipulate us while pretending to respect our humanity.

You've capture our livity
Their actions have taken away our sense of vitality and well-being.

Still inna before,the night come
Even in the midst of struggle and darkness, we maintain our hope and faith.

They can recall them hearts of war
They can look back on their past actions and recognize the damage they have caused.

They shall deliver the fortress
They will face the consequences of their past actions and be held accountable.

Onto the sea, Jah never judge them
Even as we seek justice and accountability, we recognize that it is ultimately up to a higher power to judge their actions.

Give glory and before the mountain Jah shall see
We express our gratitude and reverence for the divine powers that guide us, and trust that our actions will be seen and judged accordingly.

All of them use to ride pon the
They used to exert their power and control over others.

Herd upon the hillside, live upon the road
They would live off of the labor and resources of others, without regard for their well-being.

Jah-Jah know the heaven, but the river them foe
The divine powers that guide us are aware of our struggles and challenges, but we must still navigate and overcome them on our own.

They use to rob I man honey tree
They would exploit and take advantage of our resources without regard for our well-being.

Them covet Jah can't you see
They are envious of the spiritual and cultural richness of our people.

But we still come riding, still come riding
We remain resilient and indomitable, even in the face of adversity.
