Testo August Town - Duane Stephenson

Testo della canzone August Town (Duane Stephenson), tratta dall'album From August Town

One, two, three

A word from the wise, don't try to make life on your own

Remember that Jah Jah is by your side

For I was a soul who was lost and my life was in dismay

For among evil forces in which I played, yeah oh

Guns and ammunition were my chosen way of life

With God-fearing people I chose to strive

For all of the lives that I'd taken, they can never be replaced

But still Jah Jah chose to remember my face

Though I never lived like He wanted, I was mindful of what He taught me

So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knees

'Cause Father you rescued me, I've got the scars to show

I barely made it along life's road

'Cause when my life got dark, He was the only spark

He was the light at the end of the road

When I was a young boy growing up in August Town

We ate from the same pot, we were idrens all around

From corner to colour and corner

From rockers to jungle turf tire

Rising to dread heights and river all around

And then the football ground became a battlefield

And my life seemed so surreal

People were falling all around

But Jah helped me to stand my ground

Only Jah, only Jah would have helped me to stand my ground

Though I never lived like He wanted, I was mindful of what He taught me

So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knees

'Cause Father you rescued me and I've got the scars to show

I barely made it along life's road

'Cause when my life got dark, He was the only spark

The light at the end of the road, oh, oh

Never lived to please Him

I never lived like I should

Oh, Father you rescued me

Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah

I've lived and I've learnt, I've made mistakes along the way

Now I beg for forgiveness each day as I try to pray

So take it from me son, you can change the world today

And I'm living proof, living proof that crime doesn't pay

Though I never lived like He wanted, I was mindful of what He taught me

So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knees

'Cause Father you rescued me and I've got the scars to show

I barely made it along life's road

'Cause when my life got dark, He was the only spark

The light at the end of the road

I never lived like He wanted, I was mindful of what He taught me

So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knees

'Cause Father you rescued me and I've got the scars to show

I barely made it along life's road

'Cause when my life got dark, He was the only spark

The light at the end of the road

Though I never lived like He wanted, I was mindful of what He taught me

I'm on my bending knees, I ask Father please

Father you rescued me and I've got the scars to show

I barely made it along life's road

As my life got dark, He was the only spark

The light at the end of the road

I never lived (lived like He wanted), never lived

I never lived the way He wanted me to

I never lived (Father I plead on my bending knees)

Lord, I tell you, now I'm practising my religion

Scars to show
