A year later the family moved to Denroy's homeland of Jamaica. In this period, three family members left the group. In Jamaica, Morgan Heritage began working with famed reggae producers Bobby Dixon and Lloyd James, resulting in the release of the critically acclaimed album Protect Us Jah (1997), followed by One Calling (1998), and the spiritually-inclined Don't Haffi Dread (1999). They released two albums by "The Morgan Heritage Family and Friends", and the Live in Europe! album recorded on their 2000 tour. Morgan Heritage toured in Europe again following the release of their 2001 album More Teachings... Their sixth studio album, Three in One, came out in 2003. They have released two DVD`s (Live In London and Live Over Europe 2003) with good success and "Full Circle" (2005)
There is a sibling band called L.M.S which is more hip-hop influenced without a band, that often tours with them and is a part of their family, as well as their father Denroy Morgan.
They are one of the most influential reggae bands today, returned to Jamaica and opened studio and realised 3 complilations of "Morgan Heritage Family and Friends" creating their own rhytms.
They have cooperated with most reggae bands and DJs (MCs) of today including Capleton, Luciano, Gentleman, Beres Hammond etc.
Seen the Sun
Morgan Heritage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We know, Jah giveth on each I care (??)
Wisdom, O Jah
I've seen the sun overhead, shining bright - so bright
To you and you it feels so nice
Yes, I know, Jah made this light, light
I've seen the sun
To you and you it feels so nice
Yes, I know, Jah made this light, light
Well, I've seen it over Rome
I've seen it here at home
Seen it in the motherland
Even over England
And though they were all different places in location
All eyes beheld the beauty of Jah creation
Only if we could take the example of Jah Son
It would help us to live our lives as one, ooh yeah
I've seen the moon, in the night, shining bright - so bright
To you and you it feels so nice
Yes, I know, Jah made this light, light
I've seen the moon
Seen the moon, in the night, shining bright
To you and you it feels so nice
Yes, I know, Jah made this light, light
I've seen it in China
I've seen it in Australia
I've seen it in Germany
Even in the Middle East
And though they were all different places in location
All eyes beheld the beauty of Jah creation
Only if we could take the example of the moon
It would help us to live our lives in truth, truth
Hear what I say!
Seen the sun overhead, shining bright - shines so bright
To you and you it feels so nice
Yes, I know, Jah made this light, light
I've seen the sun
I've seen the sun overhead, shining bright
To you and you it feels so nice
Yes, I know, Jah made this light, this light
Unto Zion day! said, unto Zion day
In Morgan Heritage’s song “Seen the Sun,” the lyrics describe the beauty of the sun and the moon as symbols of Jah’s creation. The song affirms the belief in Rastafarian ideology that Jah (God) bestows wisdom upon all his people, and that the natural world is a reflection of his divine power. The repeated refrain, “I’ve seen the sun/moon overhead, shining bright - so bright/To you and you it feels so nice/Yes, I know, Jah made this light, light” highlights the joy and wonder that the singers feel when they behold the sun and moon, as well as the gratitude they feel towards Jah for creating these marvels.
Throughout the verses, the song lists various locations around the world where the singers have seen the sun and moon, including Rome, the motherland (likely referring to Africa), England, China, Australia, Germany, and the Middle East. This emphasis on the universality of these celestial bodies reinforces the idea that Jah’s gifts are available to people of all nations and cultures, and that the natural world is a shared heritage that should be appreciated and protected.
