Flicker Low Visions

In the heart of Kingston Where the sun kisses the sea Late 60s rising Like a river set free From the streets of Trench Town Syncopated heartbeats It carries a fire Social justice singing Lifting spirits higher Spirit rising Paltry woven In every chord you play Obscene in the groove Washing worries of glee Harmless blow rebellion Against the chains of the night Guitar skanks the story Of wrong turned to right From the roots of the island Where the ganja smoke curls Voices rise for the born A world full of words Prominent bass rumbling Like thunder from above Themes of peace and power In the name of love You carry the fire Social justice singing Lifting spirits higher You carry the fire Spirituality woven In every chord you play Obscene in the groove Washing worries of glee In hope from despair From 1960s onward Through the ages you've played In the flow Carrying heartbeat Carrying heartbeat In the roots that we know No more oppression In your positive sway For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem For a writing anthem
