Lyrics

Aradhana Verse
Sun is in working order /
Are we perceiving its rays through the ever-present haze? /
Sure, some like the dark even better /
For Jah luminous light never enters their sight /

So let I and I pray /
Let the clouds part ways /
And let the light of life /
Illuminate darkened days /

Shadows in the sky listening /
Voice of cold thunder /
The hurricane sets out to pull this captain under /

But he must navigate this vessel /
Cross the wide abyss /
To the peaceful golden shores /
Of the sun’s immortal bliss /

Infinite garden /
Eternal light /
In the core of thy being let thy fire ignite /
Let thy fire ignite /

Chorus
Be aware and beware /
Be aware and take care /
The angels are with you /

Be aware and beware
Be aware and take care /
The love will forgive you /

And dear, know that the fire /
Can light thy way into the next day/
Or the fire can burn me down /

And the fire shall burn on for all eternity /
For nothing can put this fire out /
No-no-no, nothing can put this fire out /
No-no-no-no, no water can put this fire out /
No-no-no…
Ah-ah-ah… /

Aradhana Verse
Don’t stray from the footpath before thee /
In the dark of the dark night /
Let Jah light be thy guide /

Remember all are one in love and unity /
You and I must walk this road together if we want to survive /
Though in this time we walk /
Through the valley of the shadow of death /

We shall not be afraid, no-no-no-no /
For the most high is with you and I /
Wherever we may tread /

Proceed through the fire /
With faith and surrender /
Love thy neighbor /
Forgive thy offender /

Love thy infinite one most high /
With all the strength of mind and soul /
And we shall trod on through the fire /
And unto the throne, unto Jah throne /

Chorus

Truth-I Verse
Sometimes it’s like a tiger in my left ear /
An ocean in my right /
The waves strike against the stripes /
Along the seams of sleepless nights /

I surrender to the moonlit mist /
Explore the jungle where the spirits sit /
Among the highest branches /
Appearing swift as lightning /

Lingering long although it’s frightening /
I find the glow enticing as my eyes begin to widen /

Deep within I feel the frequency shift /
Transmitted from ancient Egypt /
Transcripts with footnotes in Hebrew and in Sanskrit /

My hands sweat, wet as stigmata /
Still I breathe deep, proceed like Tarik Trotter /
Positioning my body in the stances of a focused kata/
Heating the senses, burning my tongue /
It’s like I’m quoting lava /

Tending the garden ‘cause the earth’s my baby’s mama /
If you feel me spark your light /
And throw your nikes in boston harbor /

Be firestarter in the tides of lifeless waters /
Slick with oil /
Brought to a boil /

Coiled currents purify the soil /
Anointing with life the gargoyles /
Concealed behind the steeples of cathedrals /

Fast they come forth /
Burst apart the feeble ceilings /

Vacant temples carved of stone or flesh are equal buildings /
Collapsed amidst the maelstrom /
I freeze these flaming verses, spit a hailstorm /
Remove the spikes that modern life’s impaled on /

Healed with herbs and intuition /
The system chasing me with lithium /
I strain listening /
Gotta maintain this equilibrium /

Chorus
