Dreamland
(1976) - Bunny Wailer
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

Fig Tree
(1976) - Bunny Wailer
Heaven ever knew that time would come
When every man has to find where he does come from
Heaven ever knew that time would come
When everything must find ist fiction
Jump, little figs, into your trees
And say you are free, say you are free
I've been redeemed, and I've been stormed
Rejected of man, now I'm gone
To live and room, so woun't you too
My lve wants to do wind with me
Let's live in love, and peace and harmony
And say we are free (repeat)
In my fig tree they're gonna be so safe and free
In my fig tree they are to be free from all misery
Now, every man is a man
And every mickle makes a mottle
Don't feel some and put some in the shackle
Now is the time and the time is now
When we should live like in those days of old
When every sheep had their fole
To say they are free, to say they are free
In my fig tree they're gonna be so safe and free
In my fig tree They are to be free from all misery

SCHEME OF THINGS
What are you doing
Towards the scheme of things
What are your words
Towards your brother being
What are you doing
Towards the scheme of things
What are your words
Towards your brother being
Let the truth
Shine bright
Through all your actions
As you strive toward the accomplishment of your mission
As you seek to feed the sheep
Of the shepherd
You've been found worthy
To enter in Jah wineyard
But there is to much pollution
In the land
Said I need some atsmopheric vibration
To much confusion
Where I go
The whole world is suffering from illusion
But redemption stands
Within the scheme of things
The redeemer's called
The king of kings
Purifys the soul
From unclean things
Know your place
Within the scheme of things
Wise ones will hear
And will increase their learnings
From the words of the wise
And their right sayings
How long ye little ones will ye love simplicity
You better rise in the wave
From your slumbering mentality
For the wind of desparation
I know it will
Will increase crimewaves and demonstrations
But the rock
Of this pression
It will come a flood of conflict and convictions
What are you doing
Towards the scheme of things
What are your words
Towards your brother beings
What are you doing
Towards the scheme of things
What are your words
Toward your brother beings

WANTED CHILDREN
I see wanted children
Crying from the backbone of their fathers
Wanted children
Longing for the bosom of their mothers
Wanted children
Crying from the backbone of their fathers
Wanted children
Longing for the bosom of their mothers
Now didn't Jah create the earth
And to the waters did he give birth
He divided the waters from the lands
Rivers were land and seas were sand
Then said he
Let there be light
And he made the darkness bright
Greater lights to rule by day
Lesser lights to rule by night
Nothing or no one can change them
Adjust, or even rearrange them
This creation was here from beginning
So accept them for what they were
For all good things in life are free
Like a liberty for you and for me
As the freedom of a raging storm
Let the little children be born
I said wanted children
Crying from the backbone of their fathers
Wanted children
Longing for the bosom of their mothers
Wanted children
Crying from the backbone of their fathers
Wanted children
Longing for the bosom of their mothers
And so Jah created man
Male and female according to his plan
All creatures both great and small
And in pairs he created them all
To man and woman he gave all dominion
Over all creatures that lived on creation
To multiply and replenish the earth
By coming together and so give birth
So who are you to try them
Price them
And sell them
Who are you to slave them
And to kill them before they're born
Who are you to hunt them down
Run them down
And gun them down
Who are you judge them
And to put them to shame and scorn
I say wanted children...

Pass It On
What your hands do,
It's your own eyes that see,
So won't you judge you're actions
To make sure the results are clean.
It's your own conscience that is gonna remind you
That it's your heart and nobody else's
That is gonna judge.
