Angel Lyrics

Lil' young boy turned a rebel in the streets
Innocent life looking incomplete, well

Eleven years old and he's on his own, well
Just can't believe, far away from home
Bad up the police, now he's running for his life
Now he's got nowhere to lay his head tonight, well
Tell the mother don't cry
Running wipes the tears over from her eyes, well

Gunshot, another one
At least he got to live off a gun
Lord, they say he's a devil in the streets
My little brother was an angel to me
(Run to save your life)
Good boy
Lord, I think he has no family
My little brother was an angel to me

Come ah England and never went back
Bodbwoy yuh lick bare shot
Carry G16 over him back
.45 and him have it jampack
Rebel is a, rebel is a, rebel on the block
In it for life, no turning back
Give the street his heart and soul
Gave the street his heart and soul
System made his heart so cold
Daddy taught him to be brave and bold
Mama told him to take control
Never will surrender, no surrender, never fall
She never see her son grow old
Jah Jah love his children more than silver and the gold
This is how his story unfold
Never see my brother no more
Can't replace him with silver and gold
Pray to Jah Jah to receive his soul, well

Gunshot, another one
He didn't want to live by the gun
Lord, they say he's a rebel in the streets
My little brother was an angel to me, yeah
(Run to save your life)
(Run to save your life)
(Run to save your life)
(Run to save your life)
(Run to save your life)
(Run to save your life)
(Run to save your life)
(Run to save your life)

Lord, will you open the gates of Zion?
(Zion, Zion)
His soul is ready to, to come home
(Zion, Zion)
Lord, will you open the gates of Zion?
(Zion, Zion)
His soul is ready to come home
(Zion, Zion)
Ready to leave this earth for Zion

(Ready)
Ready to walk the streets of Zion (walk the streets of Zion)
Ready to cross that bridge to Zion (cross that bridge to Zion)
Cross that bridge
There are no promises in Zion
Cross that bridge to Zion
Cross that bridge to Zion
Cross that bridge to Zion
Cross that bridge to Zion
Calling on you
Calling on you
Calling on you
Calling on you

Ready to walk that street of Zion

In awareness of our true nature, we get the feeling that oneness is a becoming
It is the perpetual rising toward our more subtle, eternal self
While still being balanced of our physical earth nature
In this harmonious experience it is possible for ones who are
Otherwise seen as woman and men of different religious and cultural spheres
To function as the universal body of the living God
The contradicting roles of opposition
That we play out in the drama of daily earth life
Is transformed into a mindful inner life work
The nurturing of our life
True self love
Soul rebel
So gentle
Go gently
And find your way

I was living outside my bed
Having fun in wilderness
I remember what my grandma said
She said, "Son, don't let them in your head"
And I've tried to solve it
And I knew that day would come
And I told his eye, I'm feeling down
People will say what they want to say
Then any road can take me
Just know that you will meet one day
And I try if you're there, ooh
And I know that you will be

Soul rebel
So gentle
Go gently
And find your way
Soul rebel
So gentle
Go gently
And find your way
Soul rebel
So gentle
Go gently
And find your way
Soul rebel
So gentle
