For the fifth anniversary of the release of his first album, Dread & Terrible, the Jamaican reggae super-star Chronixx has decided to include one new track, originally left out of the project, among the other remastered ones: “Jah Is There”, an emotional prayer, as well as a powerful statement a...
[Chorus]
Even in the darkest night
Selassie I, he is my light
Jah is always there by my side
Though, sometimes, I lose my way
Jah say: "You'll be found one day"
He is always there by my side
[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I feel like a ship lost at sea
Is there anyone looking out for me?
Voice in the wilderness bawling, please
Please, don't let me fall, 'cause sometimes
I feel like a bird with broken wings
Being led away in the coldest wind
Who's gonna teach me to fly again? Oh, no
Look at the lillies in the field, they don't spin
But the King of kings provides for them, oh
And if the King of the kings still sits on the throne
Then, I know that I am never alone
[Chorus]
Even in the darkest night
Selassie I, he is my light
Jah is always there by my side, yeah
Though, sometimes, I lose my way
Jah say: "You'll be found one day"
He is always there by my side, by my side
[Post-Chorus]
Mamma, don't you worry
Jah, Jah never leaves me (By my side)
He is always there (By my side)
Mamma, don't you worry
Jah, Jah never leaves me (By my side)
He is always there (By my side)
[Verse 2]
That's why I
Give thanks everyday when I and I rise
Though everyday's not a day with a bright sky
And, when darkness bring pain to my eye sight
Jah is the light on my way and he shines bright (Jah!)
Power a di Trinity
So, I never question: Jah, Jah divinity
If you ever doubt Selassie I abilities
Look inna yourself and answer this: tell me
Who taught the birds how to fly?
Who is the one that hangs the clouds in the sky?
And if for Moses, Jah did part the Red Sea, yeah
Then, I know that Jah is always with me
Always with me
[Chorus]
Even in the darkest night
Selassie I, he is my light
Jah is always there by my side
And, though, sometimes, I lose my way
Jah say: "You'll be found one day" (Jah say)
He is always there by my side, by my side (I'll find you, my son, find you)
[Post-Chorus]
Mamma, don't you worry
Jah, Jah never leaves me
He is always there
Mamma, don't you worry
Jah, Jah never leaves me
He is always there (Jah is always there)
[Bridge]
Jah is there (By my side, by my side)
Jah is there (By my side)
Jah is there (By my side, by my side)
Jah is there (By my side)
[Outro]
I sse Jah there by my side
He is always with me
He is always with me
Always, forever, Jah is always with me
