[Verse 1]
Cool water spring will flow
Bring unto life what it needs to grow
Golden sun ray, glow
Let your luminous light behold
Breath deep in angel air
Flow within without you and everywhere
Praise thee wide earth so fair
In you I take comfort there
[Chorus]
Honor thy mother and thy father
That thy days be long upon this earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
Honor thy mother and thy father
That thy days be long upon this earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
[Verse 2]
May the peace of Jah be with thee
Abide in your heart for eternity
Jah Jah love gon' set you free
And love will always be
Creation work so true
Bring forth the fruits in a season due
Holy wisdom guide you through
In everything you do
[Coda]
Honor thy mother and thy father
That thy days be long upon this earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
Honor thy mother and thy father
That thy days be long upon this earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
Honor thy mother and thy father
That thy days be long upon this earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
Honor thy mother and thy father
That thy days be long upon this earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
Honor was written by Shimshai.
The origins of … ‘Honor’ and ‘Rejoice’ go back to the time of my first album, [2001’s] I Sense Your Presence, though they were only threads or ideas that were never completed until now.
