A Song
Pablo Moses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At night when others are in bed.
Strong meditations get to my head.
With I guitar under I favorite tree.
And Jah inspiration building in me.
I play and I pray and sing and sing.
Releasing the inspiration within
Iโ€ฒve written them this a song.
A song yeah for every one.

A song for you yeah and a song for everyone.

A song, you song and I song and jah jah song.
Some may consider it Appealing
But to someone very grieving.
Now others might not just go with him.
And some have the true meaning.
But always did we remain a sample
Maybe a little too long




Or maybe a little too short
But a song for my heart.

Pablo Moses really hit his stride with the album this was from and it is my number one reggae go to album of all time. My DJ show was Reggae Inna North at KRUA in the early 90s and I played every one of the crucial cuts from "A Song"
