Lyrics

I was there when they took him down
I rolled away the stone and
watched him walk around
there is an answer
in the back of my mind
try to understand
this courage like a lion
road is long work is hard
don't fall down and lose your heart

Jesus got down from his cross
said "kiss me I'm alive
the rest is a loss"
there is an answer in the back of your mind
try to understand this courage like a lion
road is long work is hard
don't fall down and lose your heart

on a road in the jungle
by a stand selling flowers
two people comb their hair in the mirror
collide at sixty miles an hour

I was there
I ripped his side
I rolled the dice
for his clothes when he died
there is an answer
I'll try and take you there
try to understand this courage like a lion
this is how it all began
the Son came up, everyone ran
road is long
work is hard
don't fall down and
give up give up your heart

	Aztalan would be proud Such a great feel, full of joy, flowering. The combination of South African and island feel is perfect for this one, in keeping with the "lion" metaphor, wonderfully integrated. Such a great groove. Really nice track. Aztalan would be proud. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

Thanks
Tobin, that's interesting you hear South African and Island influence. Of course, all my music is most heavily influenced by African music, but I don't hear it as much on this. It's always hard to hear that sort of thing in one's own music, though. To me this sounds more rock. Heh. Probably if I wrote a heavy metal song it would sound somehow African, too. Hmmm... that gives me an idea!

Check out my latest song called Freedom Zen (World Mix)
