Every morning I would wake up right
That South African breeze bringing my bones to life
And I would travel slow down that old road
Till I looked in my Elder's eyesYou know, his smile was always freshly squeezed
And his dreadlocks held the roots of the ancient trees
And his eyes they glowed like the heavens flowed
As he began to sing:CHORUS:
So-o-ulshine no one can take away
So-o-ulshine no one can take
So-o-ulshine no one can take away the sunrise in our souls, no!I sought his wisdom, I sought his words
His love would take my pain and melt away concerns
Yea remove them all, till my mind would fall
Back to my heart againYea he would smile as he used to say,
"You've got to let your heart pave the way,
And don't let nobody steal your light,
Only let them offer you shade"CHORUSTafari:
Yes this sunrise is forever, ever shining
To guide I and I on through Babylon to Zion, yea
And on the path got to keep a one track heart
And a one track mind on One Love, the Most HighBRDIGE:
And, when in darkness, when in darkness
When in darkness, I return to my roots
We are the Universe in two shoes
Our essence is limitless, infinite consciousness
We are the music of stars, Love & elementsCHORUS X2
