lyrics

The fruits of the wicked
Are right for the picking
So man I Hail Jah (x4)

Hey baby what's your plan?
I'm sure you understand I can't read your mind
And see what you've buried in sand
But I'm always ready
To set up and rock steady
Like you care like you care baby
Hey mister time keeper
Do you think there's a chance for us?
Hey mister time keeper
Do you think there's a time for us?

Darling you know that I'm just a man
It's unfortunate but I'm not superman
Can't fly like a dove it ain't me to blame
I don't have the strength of the Lion

Ohoh I don't have the strength of the Lion (x2)

I keep trying to think learn and elevate
From the Word Sound and Power
With faith love and respect
I will hold on till the final hour
Hey mister time keeper
Do you think there's a chance for us?
Hey mister time keeper
Do you think there's a time for us ?

Darling you know that I'm just a man
It's unfortunate but I'm not superman
Can't fly like a dove it ain't me to blame
I don't have the strength of the Lion

Ohoh I don't have the strength of the Lion (X2)

Confront the lion
We will all have to confront the lion
Confront the lion
We will all have to confront the Lion one day
So what will be your pride
What will be your shame
What will be your joy
What will be your pain
When you step into the light
See we are just the same
