Don't Shoot The Messenger

Don't shoot the messenger

He don't take sides

He doesn't deal on politics

That's where the devil hides

It's preach and love he's preaching

Put all doubt aside

(All the people he was reaching )

(He was filling them with pride... x2)

A strong voice of his people

And a third world superstar

Here to educate and enlighten us

And to spread his message near and far

They criticized his use of 'erb

But we didn't all agree

And he touched the hearts of people yeah

All across the seven seas

From St Annes Bay and born of Jah

How could he have known

That his truth lay in a destiny

The world would come to know

Some say he was a prophet

A mystic telling tales of strife

His message plain and simple YEAH

To live one love, one life...

Like most great men in history

The mark he left transcends

Died young while on his mission

He passed the torch onto his children

To bring his positive to the people

Preaching universal love

Crossed beliefs and many boundaries YEAH

And his legacy lives on
