ENGINE OF DESIRE REGGAE 1

Lyrics

​[Verse 1] The rest is just living, yeah, and life is the passion The engine of desire, inna every little action It’s when we feel it slipping, slipping through our hand That we catch it with all our might, making a final stand ​[Chorus] Life is to live, without dreading the worst tomorrow But when the hard times come, and we drown inna sorrow With all our body sweating, crying out in the night Hoping a brother will come to guide us to the light ​[Verse 2] Life is forgetting that the system makes us die Keeping our conscience wide awake, open to the sky Don’t shut your eyes on the world tearing apart, no way Right in front of our faces, just across the bay ​[Chorus] Life is to live, without dreading the worst tomorrow But when the hard times come, and we drown inna sorrow With all our body sweating, crying out in the night Hoping a brother will come to guide us to the light ​[Verse 3] But life is a lesson we learn a bit too late When the nightmare is real, knocking at the gate When the clock is ticking, and there’s no place to hide Time to join the Eternal, on the other side ​[Bridge] Life is the family, life is the friends you choose It’s that inner voice screaming, with nothing left to lose Crying deep down inside, driving a man insane But it holds us together through the fire and the rain ​[Verse 4] There is no turning back, no rearview mirror to see No extra time given, no double guarantee Life is to care for the brother who falls on the ground Even when we stumble, we make a joyful sound Yeah, we are part of the whole, to keep our brothers bound So together we stand tall, and never shall we fall
