lyrics

visions of yourself you make a good prophet
visions of yourself you make a good profit
visions of myself i dont wanna think nothin
visions of nothin man they gotta mean something

every time i walk i have to look
its hard not to see what weve done
five empty rooms big gold gate
still theirs families on the streets no place to stay

just be good give when you can
but that day will come some other time
when you wish but not today
hopefully love will carry on

you choose not to live in the right now
youre living in another mental time zone
weve all been there before
you have to come back to present day

tomorrow never comes if you wait now
tomorrow is today it never follows
the only moment right now is real
the past and future are distortions of time and place

to see you i fi run a very long distance
the front line babylon when they come they come
i never scream nor get scared never run
the weight of rasta healing power weighs a ton
