(Tempo: Relaxed, 75 BPM | Feel: Deep bass, heavy skank, and a steady one-drop beat)
(Intro)
(Heavy bassline enters, followed by a bright brass section)
Jah, provide the rhythm...
Yeah, man. Sweet vibrations.
(Guitar skank: Chit-it, chit-it)
(Verse 1)
Inna this world of concrete and the flashing lights
Where the people dem a-rush through the day and the nights
I found a sanctuary, a calm inna the storm
Since the very first moment that our love was born.
Like a seed inna the soil, we’ve started to grow
With a roots-rock energy that the whole world should know.
(Chorus)
I’m forever yours, like the sun belongs to the sky
I’m forever yours, until the well of life runs dry.
No matter the mountain, no matter the sea
You’re the only one who holds the golden key
To my heart... yeah, soul and heart.
(Verse 2)
They try to sell us vanity, they try to sell us greed
But your simple kind of loving is the only thing I need.
When the system gets heavy and the pressure starts to rise
I see a brand new morning just by looking in your eyes.
It’s a natural mystic, it’s a spiritual bond
Reaching way past the horizon and the Great Beyond.
(Bridge)
(Music strips back to just bass and drums—Dub style)
Solid as a rock, we stand...
Built upon the sand? No, man...
Built upon the truth.
(Brass section returns with a swell)
From the valley to the hilltop, let the message ring
Of the joy and the healing that a true love can bring!
(Chorus)
I’m forever yours, like the sun belongs to the sky
I’m forever yours, until the well of life runs dry.
No matter the mountain, no matter the sea
You’re the only one who holds the golden key
To my heart.
(Outro)
Forever and a day...
No time for the games that the people play.
Just a steady vibration, a holy celebration.
(Fade out with echoing percussion)
Forever yours...
Inna this time...
And every time...
Love is the way.
