DREAMLAND

 

There's a land that I have heard about

So far across the sea (repeat)

To have you all, my dreamland

Would be like heaven to me (repeat)

 

We'll get our breakfast from the tree

We'll get our honey from the bees

We'll take a ride on the waterfalls

And all the glories, we'll have them all

 

And we'll live together on that dreamland

And have so much fun (repeat)

Oh, what a time that will be

Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see

We'll count the stars up in the sky...

 

...And surely we'll never die

JUDGE NOT

 

Don't you look at me so smug

And say I'm going bad

Who are you to judge me, and the life I live

I know that I'm not perfect

And that I don't claim to be

So, before you point your finger

Make sure your hands are clean.

 

Judge not, before you judge yourself

Judge not, if you're not ready for judgement.

 

The road of life is rocky, and you may stumble too

So, while you talk about me someone else is judging you.

 

Don't you look at me so smug

And say I'm going bad

Who are you to judge me, and the life I live

I know that I'm not perfect

And that I don't claim to be

So, before you point your finger

Make sure your hands are clean.

 

Judge not, before you judge yourself

Judge not, if you're not ready for judgement.

STAND ALONE

 

There you are crying again

But your loveliness won't cover your shame

There you are taking true love

While you're taking true love

You're given the blame

How could I be so wrong

To think that we could get along

Days I wasted with you, child

If I count there'll be a million or two

Now I stand alone through the memory that haunts me, that haunts me

And I walk alone through the rhapsody that taunts me, that taunts me

There you are crying again

But your loveliness won't cover your shame

There you are taking true love

While you're taking true love

You're given the blame

How could I be so wrong

To think that we could get along

Days I wasted with you, child

If I count there'll be a million or two

Now I stand alone through the memory that haunts me, that haunts me

And I walk alone through the rhapsody that taunts me, that taunts me

There you are crying again

But your loveliness won't cover your shame

There you are taking true love

While you're taking true love

You're given the blame

There she goes with the pieces from my heart

There she goes and now my teardrops start

And `ere I go once again

Tru deese loonely `eartaches and pain

Now I know love is a guessin` game

She goes with the pieces from my heart

There she goes and now my teardrops start

Who`s gonna put back the pieces to my broken heart

Once again once again now I know this could be the end

And she gone with the pieces of my heart

There she goes and now my teardrops start

And here I go once again

Tru deese loonely `eartaches and pains

That`s all remain

Now I know this could be the end

She goes wid de pieces from my `eart

There she goes and now my teardrops start

THIS TRAIN

 

When I was just a kid, little children,

My old man used to sing a song.

And now I've grown to be a man

It still lingers deep within my soul,

Lingers deep within my soul.

 

He say now, this train is bound to glory, this train.

This train is bound to glory, this train.

This train it is bound to glory,

This train it don't carry no unholy.

This train is bound to glory, this train.

 

Now, this train it don't carry no backsliders, this train.

This train don't carry no backsliders, this train.

This train it don't carry no backsliders,

This train only carry JAH JAH children.

This train it is bound to glory, this train.

 

Play a little song for me.

 

This train don't carry no unholy, this train.

This train don't carry no unholy, this train.

This train it don't carry no unholy,

This train only carry the children of JAH.

This train it is bound to glory, this train.

 

So many things to remember,

So many things to forget.

But these words they do linger,

Linger deep within my soul,

Lingers deep within my soul.

 

This train is bound to glory, this train.

This train it is bound to glory, this train.

This train it is bound to glory,

This train don't carry no unholy.

This train it is bound to glory, this train.

 

This train.

This train.

This train.

This train.

This train.

 

This train is bound to glory.

This train is bound to glory, yau (repeat)

 

(adlibbing)

 

I'll be turning back for no brother, no sister, no friend, no nothing at all.

I'll be grabing the morning train, the evening train will be too late. (repeat)

 

Grab on brothers.

Grab on sisters.

Grab on mother.

Grab on father.

Grab on friend.

THIS TRAIN!

Who the Cap Fit

 

Man to man is so unjust

Children! You don't know who to trust

Your worst enemy could be your best friend

And your best friend could be your worst enemy

Some will eat and drink with you

Them behind them su-su pon you

Only your friend know your secret

So only he could reveal it

Who the cap fit, let them wear it 2X

I say I thorw me corn, me no call no fowl

I say cok cok cok, cluck cluck cluck yeah

Some will hate you

Pretend they love you now

Them behind they try to eliminate you

But who Jah bless, no one curse

Thank God we are past the worse

Hypocrites and parasites will come up and take a bite

And if your night should turn to day

A lot of people would run away

And who the stock fit, let them wear it

Who the cap fit, let them wear it

I say I throw me corn, I say I call no fowl

I saying cok cok cok, yeah! cluck cluck cluck

Some will eat and drink with you

Then behind them su-su pon you

And if your night should turn to day

A lot of people would run away...
