About the Song Lyrics
Every CD we put out has the lyrics printed on CD booklet insert. But for your pleasure we are including two favorites here:
Running Late from the album “Running Late”
Selassie I’s Soldiers from the album “Bold as a Lion”
Chorus
I am afraid we are running late.
Now we have to run,
run, come,
don’t make them catch you.
They are setting trap to catch the poor
They think they catching rat
We have to be wise.
Watch what we are eating
watch what we are drinking
watch what you are doing.
We have to keep on praying.
Repeat Chorus
You remember Joseph , and Mary, and Christ
be have to run into Egypt
We have to remember and pray to the Most High God.
God always come through and fulfill,
always come through and fulfill.
Repeat Chorus
They put in all their labor
and wealth into weapons.
Now their dollars are falling.
It have no value.
They have to turn down volume.
They are losing all their friend,
now they want to close the gate.
Now we have to run.
Repeat Chorus
Have to rise up early,
love one another and work together.
Have to rise up early and get ready,
love one another and work together.
Repeat Chorus
They see signs and wonders, and they stand up wonder.
They see prophecy fulfill, and they stand up like they can’t see.
We have to open our eyes.
Look around, so many warnings.
Repeat Chorus (repeat to the end)
