Lyrics
To The Foundation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've got to get myself together
Cant afford to let my faith go, you know
When ever Jah sun comesa shining
and my sisters are all smiling
no one is dying,my people arent crying
we are living in the love of the father,
living in the house of the almighty,(repeat2x)
ooh yeah ooh yeah
The days of destruction will never be, oh no
Not hard for the wise man who can see
But the fool thinks he knows it all,
sooner or later he stumbles and falls
He goes down for a reason,
Jah keeps giving him a beating
to the foundation they'll have to go down
to the foundation chant them down
to the foundation they'll have to go down
to the foundation, oh ho well
oh ho well
(repeat2x)
