[Intro]
Where is the love to be found, oh people?
Nowhere around
[Verse 1]
For, I woke Saturday morning
Feeling sticky and dirty after work
Took a walk down at riverside
I roll a little spliff, sat down on a stone and start to cool off
With my burden down at riverside
For, I check around the youths
And I try to teach the truth (But)
Lay their burden on at riverside
I walk through every corner
Try to find someone to talk to (But I have to)
Lay their burden on the riverside (Hear me, man)
[Verse 2]
For I walk and I talk
And I linger and I search
Lay their burden down the riverside (Right away)
And I walk, I met the youthman pocket
And I try to search around them (Yeah)
Lay their burden on at riverside
And I sat down quietly
Watch the fishes circle around the little stones
Lay their burden on at riverside (Hear me, man)
I cup my ears and I heard the little birds
Whistling in the tree like so
Lay their burden on at riverside
[Verse 3]
Live good among your neighbor
Like sister and brother and
Come with me at riverside
All you need is pray to Jah quality
You see, the secret, it shall be revealed
Lay their burden on at riverside
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Jah provide for the birds in di air
And di fishes at the sea, so what about me?
Lay their burden down the riverside
Look at the crow, they toil not neither do they spin
Yet father provide far them
Lay their burden on at riverside (Come with me)
[Verse 5]
Let us walk and talk
And pray quietly in search
Lay their burden down at riverside (Here come the sun)
Look at the color of those clothes, oh Jah
Make each and every one individually
Lay their burden down at riverside (I'm asking you)
Where is your love?
Where is di togetherness too?
Lay their burden down at riverside
[Verse 6]
I trod down at Rema, even in a Jungle
To find a quiet rest
'Round there in a Nannyville
My heart come to a trail
Lay their burden down at riverside (Oh yeah)
Where is the quietness and the love to be found in some corner?
Lay their burden down at riverside (Oh yeah)
[Outro]
Let us walk, let us search
Let us examine and let us see
Lay their burden on the riverside
