about

Gypsy reggae tune dedicated to Oliver Butterfield a.k.a Oli Mc

lyrics

I once knew a man
his legs were weak and frail
but he took a stand
he stood up stood tall
his heart had the strength to
tear down the walls

Lets go back to the banks of the river
back to the river now lets go back

He knew of the earth
he spoke of the vibrations
wisdom in rebirth
heart of a lion
he left this plain behind him
a new life was born

He'll go back to the banks of the river
back to where it had all begun
He'll go back, back to the river
to where he once had sung

Brand new she is born
oh Lailah how she smiles
his old life is gone
now he has passed on
left this plain behind him
Lailah she was born

He'll go back to the banks of the river
back to where it had all begun
He'll go back, back to the river
to where he once had sung
Lets go back to the shores of the ocean
back to where he once had sung
lets go back to where the river meets the ocean
I want to remember him
I want to remember him
