Torchbearer
Respect to the man called Bob Marley,
International hero, reggae prophet.
Born: 1945, never died.
Gonna tell you about Bob Marley
Brother Bob Marley was the torchbearer
so I've got to carry a flame
I'm gonna hold my candle high
praising JAH JAH name
Yes he was a torchbearer
and he lit the spark to a flame
Lighting the way for all to see
so we could do the same
I and I can do the same
Yes he was a Rastaman
Coming with a vibration
Spreading out across the land
Coming to us from St.Ann yea
Way down in
I said he was the only son
of a white man and a black woman
On the streets he used to run yea
with Neville Livingston
And Peter McIntosh
Me said him used to sing
ina de ghetto would their voices ring yea
With the Wailers band
and Rita Anderson
The legend soon began yea
when they say "Simmer Down"
Man,they really had the sound
that really ruled the town
Chanting all oppressors down
niyabinghi shake the ground
When they say "Trenchtown Rock"
the roadblock was at
Yea yea yea
He was the one JAH chosen
to carry a message in this time
In every corner of the world
to everyone
Though they say cancer took him
it could not erase what he left behind
The truth goes marching on and on
Brother Bob Marley was the torchbearer
so I've got to carry a flame
I'm gonna hold my candle high
and praise up JAH JAH name
Yes he was a torchbearer
and he lit the spark to a flame
Lighting the way for all to see
so we could do the same
I and I can do the same.
JAH know that I and I carry a flame
JAH know that I and I carry a flame
cause I feel dem spirit
feel dem spirit
feel dem spirit
Lord I thank you
Lord I thank you
Cause I'm gonna put it on
I'm gonna put it on
I'm gonna put it on
Good Lord hear me
Good Lord hear me
Cold ground was my bed last night
and rocks was my pillow too
Cold ground was my bed last night
and rocks was my pillow too
So be not selfish in your doings,
pass it on
Help your brother,help your sister
just pass it on
Shine your Light.
