Sitting on a corner, cold stone beneath my spine Empty belly echo, but I smile and say I'm fine The sky look heavy, like it's holdin' back a flood And my shoes got holes, but I walk on with love I see a child run by with a tear on his face Mama gone missin', papa lost in the race Oh Jah, hear me now, I don't beg for gold Just a bit of light in this world so cold You said the meek shall rise, so I lift my eyes Though I'm broken, still I try Oh Jah, God of David, can you see my soul bleed? Down in the gutter, where the lilies try to seed You came upon me, your fire cut clean Now I feel your love like the wind through my dream Babylon laugh while we scrape for rice They build big towers, but they ain't payin' the price I share one coat with a brother on the curb We speak no words, just pain undisturbed I pray to Zion but my voice feel small Like a raindrop lost in a waterfall But your spirit move like thunder on my chest Even in this mess, I know I'm blessed You said the last shall lead, so I plant my seed And walk on through the weeds Oh Jah, God of David, can you feel my cracked skin? Still I praise your name with my soul wearin' thin You lit a fire that won't turn to smoke And now I breathe your peace in every note I spoke I am not forgotten... I am not alone... Your word is my shelter, my flesh and my bone Though I sit with the shadows and dance with regret I know you ain't done with me yet Oh Jah, King of Zion, you carried me far From a street corner prayer to a life full of stars You held my sorrow like a song in the rain Now I walk with hope where there once was pain Mmm... (Zion, Zion...) You ain’t done with me yet...
