lyrics

Big Yard

Big yard, this a one big yard×4
Remember now children this is one big yard
whether you stay at home or travel abroad
walking on foot or driving your car
Some a stay here, while others go far
remember now children this is one big yard
Chorus
So look there now people how the street is so big
I man never left it yet
The culture of the traveler is hard at its best
around every corner your life they could threat
Street culture so big I man nah leave it yet
Chorus
Remember now children while we're tending the garden
watering, feeding so their hearts don't harden
I don't mean to preach
nor am I begging your pardon
Selassie the king of me yard
Chorus
It's a one big yard
for everyone to be in
Shaking what you’re given
loving what your living
It’s such a big yard for everyone to see
that there's room to grow
and live positively
Now take a look around
and you will find
that is one big yard
is one of a kind
Sound Reasoning is here
to help you unwind
let their Jazzy reggae music
take a hold of your mind
and shake it around
like a boat on a wave
cuz it's one big yard
you know we've got to say
I see people dancing over there
who will agree
that this conscious raising music is so irie
so take responsibility and do your part
to spread some kind vibration
into every single heart
and now you know
Yes it's plain to see
that this big, big yard
is made for everybody
See Jah call his children
from the ends of the Earth
If today you hear his voice
harden not your heart
in this here big yard, big yard
it's a big yard, big yard 3x
Chorus
