Lyrics
Small Axe
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.
Why boasteth thyself, oh evil men,
Playing smart and not being clever?
I say you're working iniquity to achieve vanity, yeah,
But the goodness of JAH JAH endureth forever.
If you are the big tree,
We are the small axe.
Sharpened to cut you down,
Ready to cut you down.
These are the words of my master.
Keep on telling me
No weak heart shall prosper,
Oh, no they can't.
And whosoever diggeth a pit, Lord,
Shall fall in it, shall fall in it.
Whosoever diggeth a pit shall bury in it,
Shall bury in it.
If you are the big tree,
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down,
Ready to cut you down.
And whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall in it, fall in it.
Whosoever diggeth a pit shall bury in it, shall bury in it.
If you have a big tree,
We have a small axe
Ready to cut you down,
Sharpened to cut you down.
If you are the big tree,
we are the small axe
Ready to cut you down,
Sharpened to cut you down.
