Old working man

Songtekst

Intro] Legend has it... There was a soul who walked this land. An old working man... Mmm. A loving man... Mmm. A righteous, hard-working man... Mmm. [Verse 1] The flood took his home, but he beat the rain, He built a new roof right through the pain. He worked till the sunset, through wind and the cold, Never letting the storm break the strength of his soul. Though his wife and his children were gone from his side, He held to the promise with no place to hide. He rose every morning with the warmth of the sun, Fulfilling Jah plan till the labor was done. [Pre-Chorus] He never begged, or asked for a thing, Just grateful for whatever the seasons would bring. He tips his old hat to the open blue sky, And keeps on working as the world passes by. [Chorus] That old working man, dirt and grease on his hands... Living off Jah fruits from the native land! Always giving, always helping when he can... A hard-working man, always strong where he stands! Yeah, Jah knows his heart, Jah knows his mind, That old working man was forever kind! [Verse 2] He mended old fences where wild rivers roam, He planted native trees all around his home. He shared what he had with the hungry in need, Sowing the love like a heavenly seed. He carried the sorrow like a mountain of stone, Yet walking the valleys, he was never alone. The spirits of the elders kept watch from the hill, Guiding his boots through the quiet and still. [Bridge] The river knew his every mile, The mountains watched his quiet trial. Many friends fell along the way, But that old man still thanked Jah every day! [Final Chorus] That old working man, dirt and grease on his hands... Living off Jah fruits from the native land! Always giving, always helping when he can... A hard-working man, always strong where he stands! Yeah, Jah knows his heart, Jah knows his mind, That old working man was forever kind! [Outro] That old working man... Mmm. Still in the memories... Mmm. That old working man... Mmm. His native trees are still giving, His sacred memory is still living, His humble heart is forever free... The old working man... His soul now home in Jah light. Forever shining bright...
