Riverside

Where is the love to be found, oh People? 
Nowhere around... 

For I woke on Saturday morning 
Feeling sticky and dirty after work 
Took a walk down a riverside 

I roll a little spliff 
Sat down on a stone and start to cool off 
With my burden down a riverside 

For I check around the youths 
And I try to teach the truth 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

I walk through every corner 
Try to find someone to talk to but I have to 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

For I walk and I talk 
And I linger and I search 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

And I walk, I met the youthman pocket 
And I try to search around them 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

And I sat down quietly 
Watch the fishes circle around the little stones 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

I cup my ears and I heard the little birds 
Whistling in the tree like so 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

Live good among your neighbor 
Like sister and brother and 
Come with me a riverside 

All you need is pray to Jah, quality 
You see secret shall be revealed 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

(solo) 

Jah provides for the birds in the air 
And the fishes in the sea so what about me 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

Look at the crow they toil not neither do they spin 
Yet father provide far them 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

Let us walk and talk 
And pray quietly in search 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

Look at the color of those clothes, oh Jah 
Make each and every one individually 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

Where is the love? 
Where is the togetherness too? 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

I can't take the war and I can't take the shooting 
Neither the looting, just 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

I tried around Rema 
Even in The Jungle 
To find a quiet rest 

Round there in a Nannyville 
My heart come to a trail 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

And I knock, and I search 
And I whisper and I preach 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

Where is the quietness 
And the love to be found in some corner? 
Lay their burden on the riverside 

Let us walk, let us search 
Let us examine and let us see 
Lay their burden on the riverside
