Taller than the tallest pine; sweeter than a grape on a vine now. Can go no further because you got me chained and bound, right now.
-Bob Marley, Concrete Jungle
What kind of life is this that I’m living? Oh, Lord, what kind of love is this you trying to give me? I feel like standing up and telling the world I’m chained to your love.
-Bob Marley, Concrete Jungle
Darling, oh, don’t break this little heart of mine. There’s no greater love than this love of yours and mine, oh.
-Bob Marley, Concrete Jungle
Fools don’t see, fools don’t see, fools don’t see. But I know the weak keep strong. So come with me to a land of liberty, oh darlin’, where we can live a life and be free.
-Bob Marley, 400 Years
Come with me, you nothing, you proud. You got to be free. Stop sitting down on your pride. Just can’t hide.
-Bob Marley, 400 Years
Oh, we walk through the pale moonlight with our love that is right. Oh, my. Oh, so happy. We will be sharing the love that is free!
–Bob Marley, Rock It Baby
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve got you on my mind. And now you are here. I say, it’s so clear to see what we can do, honey- just me and you.
-Bob Marley, Stir It Up
Oh, will you quench me while I’m thirsty? Come and cool me down when I’m hot? Your recipe, darling, is so tasty, and you sure can stir your pot. So stir it up, little darling, stir it up. Come on and stir it up. Oh, little darling, stir it up!
-Bob Marley, Stir It Up
Make love and not war, ’cause we don’t need no trouble. What we need is love to guide and protect us on. If you hope good down from above, help the weak if you are strong now.
-Bob Marley, No More Trouble
(You can’t tell the woman from the man) No, I say you can’t ’cause they’re dressed in the same pollution. Their mind is confused with confusion, with their problems since they’ve no solution. They become the midnight ravers.
-Bob Marley, Midnight Ravers
Hey, get up, stand up; stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up; don’t give up the fight.
-Bob Marley, Get Up, Stand Up
Preacher man, don’t tell me heaven is under the earth. I know you don’t know what life is really worth. It’s not all that glitter is gold; half the story has never been told.
-Bob Marley, Get Up, Stand Up
You see, most people think great God will come from the sky, take away everything and make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth, you would look for yours on earth.
-Bob Marley, Get Up, Stand Up
You can fool some people sometimes. But you couldn’t fool all the people all the time.
-Bob Marley, Get Up, Stand Up
Like the sweat from man’s brow, the substance from our spine- we gotta keep on living, living on borrowed time…
-Bob Marley, Hallelujah
Yes, you can hear the children singing hallelujah time, as they go singing by and by. Oh, hallelujah singing in the morning (singing, hallelujah time). Let them sing. Don’t you let them cry.
-Bob Marley, Hallelujah
Why won’t you let us be to live in harmony? We like to be free like birds in a tree.
-Bob Marley, Hallelujah
If you are the big, big tree, we are the small axe ready to cut you down.
-Bob Marley, Small Axe
Live for yourself and you will live in vain. Live for others, you will live again.
-Bob Marley, Pass It On
In the kingdom of Jah, man shall reign. Pass it on.
-Bob Marley, Pass It On
What’s in the darkness must be revealed to light. We’re not here to judge what’s good from bad, but to do the things that are right.
-Bob Marley, Pass It On
Be not selfish in your doings. Pass it on. Help your brothers in their needs. Pass it on.
-Bob Marley, Pass It On
Why can’t we roam this open country? Oh, why can’t we be what we wanna be? We want to be free!
–Bob Marley, Rebel Music ( 3 O’Clock Roadblock )
What’s wrong with loving one another? Puss and dog they get together. What’s wrong with you my brother?
-Bob Marley, So Jah Seh
