Young One
Sun-Dried Vibes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young one keep your focus, focus
Keep a sense of control, control, control
You must recognize all the lies,
You and I are a part of it all, it all, it all

How can you truly love what you don't fully understand
From the roots, to the rocks, to the ocean, to the sand
How can you speak the word with no concern for the plan
From the stars in the sky to the people in the land
Take heed of your bare necessities, friends and family
This is all you need, all you need. All you need.

No amount of money in the world can shake my soul.
Yes we must hold on to the ones we love the most, the most, the most.
No amount of time and space can hold me down.
We all share our crowns, with the family we have found
Surrounded by the sound, surrounded by the sound.
Surrounded by the sound, surrounded by the sound, the sound...

Young one keep your focus, focus
Keep a sense of control, control, control
You must recognize all the lies,
You and I are a part of it all, it all, it all

How can you truly love what you don't fully understand
From the roots, to the rocks, to the ocean, to the sand
How can you speak the word with no concern for the plan
From the stars in the sky to the people in the land
Take heed of your bare necessities, friends and family
This is all you need, all you need. All you need.

Young one keep your focus, focus, focus
Control, control, control
Recognize, recognize, recognize
It all, it all, it all

No amount of money in the world can shake my soul.
No amount of money in the world can shake my soul.
No amount of time and space can hold me down.
We all share our crowns, with the family we have found




Surrounded by the sound, surrounded by the sound.
Surrounded by the sound, surrounded by the sound, the sound...

I hate that no one around me loves this type of music as much as I do I want to show and share all this amazing powerful healing music to people and no one gets it I need to get off the east coast

@CORKY247

I only have one other person and he's the one that introduced it all to me. I don't understand how people (like my husband) don't like it. I regret that I only started listening to reggae/ska/punk less than two years ago. It has changed my life in so many ways

@khatdragon7694

Those who can't understand this message are either lost to the world or too damaged to heal.

@garrison0532082

i swear this genre has more talent than all others combined.

@TheChrisJones

It's true. I think that talent comes with the amount of truth and love in this genre.

@cBodhi
