Bob Marley lyrics
Close your eyes and you see Bob Marley
Riding through Holy Ethiopia on his Harley
Heading up to Haile up above
Preaching Rastafarian love
Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love
Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love
Bob Marley, Bob Marley
Born in Jamaica in 1945
All his life he struggled to survive
Born on his grandfather’s Jamaican farm where
He taught Bob about his Jewish roots there
Oh Aquarian brother of the soul
So many loved you more than you could know
You preached peace you preached love
In harmony with the One above
They tried to stop you from telling what’s true
They broke in your house and they shot you
2 days later you went back on stage
All their hate couldn’t keep you in their cage
You then went in exile to London town
To get away from the howling blood hounds
You were very ill you were told
But their treatment went against your religious code
Bob Marley, Bob Marley
You went to a clinic in a Bavarian town
You looked for a cure but none could be found
But it was too late to save you ‘Tuff Gong’
Bob Marley passed away in 81
His final words to his son and wife
Were ‘Money can’t buy you life’
No ‘Money can’t buy you life’
Oh Aquarian brother of the soul
So many loved you more than you could know
You preached peace and you preached love
In harmony with the One above
Bob Marley, Bob Marley
Can you see Bob Marley
Riding through Holy Ethiopia on his Harley
Heading up to Haile up above
Preaching Rastafarian love
Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love
