Down by the river

[Verse 1] Down by the river where the spirits hum, Moonlight drop gold on the beating drum, Neon lyre calling from the jungle deep, Sing the song that the night must keep. [Chorus] Iyah light, rise and glow, Through the trees where the cool winds blow, Circle round, in a mystic show — Lyre of the jungle, let the roots flow. [Verse 2] Golden rays cut through the dark, Palm leaves dance, they catch the spark, Ancient sound from a time before, Now the lion’s heart will roar once more. [Bridge] Floating dust, cosmic fire, Jah breath move through the lyre, Every tone heal the pain we knew, Shine on me with that crystal dew. [Outro] Halo fade in the dawning breeze, Whisper low through the canopy trees, Drum and heart become the same, Roots and stars call forth my name. [END]
