Lyrics
Only a fool learns from his own experience
Experience teaches wisdom
So don't confuse experience with knowledge or belief
Live in the moment
Strive to be happy
Joy cometh in the morning
Love sustains the soul
You understand?
He who starts behind in the race of life
Must forever remain behind
Or run faster than the man in front
But remember, the race is not who is swift
But who endure to the end
I will open my mouth in a parable
And sing the dark sayings of old
Doth not wisdom and knowledge stretch forth her hands
Unto you, oh children, I cry
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah
Or may you surely fail
Laughter the heart is sorrowful
Your folly is your reward
Better a dinner of hope where love is
Than feasting where there is wrath
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah
Or may you surely fail
Live in joy and peace, even among the troubled
Look within, be still, free from fear and attachment
Know the sweet joy of your soul
So take heed, Jah people, and live upright
For this is the time that will tell
When the righteous ones shall stand up strong
Oh, why did the heathen rage?
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah
Or may you surely fail
And I will open my mouth in a parable
And sing the dark sayings of old
Doth not wisdom and knowledge stretch forth her hands
Unto you, oh children, I cry
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah
Or may you surely fail
Love yourself and be awake
Today, tomorrow, and always
First establish yourself in truth
Then teach others, and so defeat sorrow
To strength the crooked, you must first do a harder thing
Straighten yourself
You are your only master
Who else?
Subdue yourself and discover your master
There's no fire like greed
No crime like hatred
No sorrow like separation
No sickness like hunger of heart
And no joy like the joy of freedom
Heath, contentment, and trust
Are your greatest possessions
And freedom your greatest joy
Look within
Be still, free from fear and attachment
Know the sweet joy of living
Live in the moment
Be happy
Live in the moment
Experience teaches wisdom
So don't confuse experience with knowledge or belief
Live in the moment
Strive to be happy
Joy cometh in the morning
Love sustains the soul
You understand?
He who starts behind in the race of life
Must forever remain behind
Or run faster than the man in front
But remember, the race is not who is swift
But who endure to the end
I will open my mouth in a parable
And sing the dark sayings of old
Doth not wisdom and knowledge stretch forth her hands
Unto you, oh children, I cry
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah
Or may you surely fail
Laughter the heart is sorrowful
Your folly is your reward
Better a dinner of hope where love is
Than feasting where there is wrath
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah
Or may you surely fail
Live in joy and peace, even among the troubled
Look within, be still, free from fear and attachment
Know the sweet joy of your soul
So take heed, Jah people, and live upright
For this is the time that will tell
