Give Thanks (Roots Reggae) (B) — Arjuna Sound / CongoTunes Playlist: Rasta Kamp — Golden Hour Roots LYRICS: [Intro - warm easy roots reggae, deep rolling dub bass, gentle offbeat skank, melodica, peaceful and grateful] (Give thanks... give thanks and praise...) For every little thing the Most High give — give thanks. [Verse 1 - warm weathered lead, easy one-drop, humble and full of heart] I woke up this morning with the breath still in my chest the sun come over the mountain and the Most High do the rest I may not have a fortune, I may not have a name but I got my life, I got my health, and Jah He stay the same There's food enough to fill me and a roof against the rain there's a riddim in the evening and a friend to ease the pain so I won't sit and grumble for the things I do without — I'll lift my hands and give Him thanks, that's what it all about [Pre-Chorus - the groove lifts, hands rising in gratitude] For the great things and the small things, the bread and the sky give thanks unto the Most High, let the gratitude run high [Chorus - warm roots chorus, easy gang harmonies, melodica floating] Give thanks, give thanks, give thanks and praise for the breath inside the body and the light of better days give thanks, give thanks, for the green and for the rain for the love that Jah keep pouring down again and again count your blessings, not your sorrows, let the gratitude flow — give thanks unto the Most High, for the love He always show [Verse 2 - dub warmth deepens, more joy, more praise] The rich man chase tomorrow and he never catch today he got everything but gratitude and so it slips away but the poor man with the open heart, he see the gold around — in the children and the riddim and the sacred, common ground A little herb, a little food, a little roof, a little song the Most High keep providing even when the road is long so I won't count the things I lack, I'll count the things I'm given — and every breath of gratitude's a little step toward heaven [Chorus] Give thanks, give thanks, give thanks and praise for the breath inside the body and the light of better days give thanks, give thanks, for the green and for the rain for the love that Jah keep pouring down again and again count your blessings, not your sorrows, let the gratitude flow — give thanks unto the Most High, for the love He always show [Bridge - drops to bass and melodica, tender, a quiet prayer] (thank you Jah... thank you Jah... for it all...) For the morning and the evening, for the trouble and the rest for the lesson in the hard road and the comfort in the blessed I give thanks for what You gave me and the strength to carry through — every good and perfect gift, my Father, come from You [Outro - the roots groove sways out warm into the golden evening] Give thanks... give thanks and praise... Jah bless. (count the blessings... let it flow... one love... Selah.)
