"one guitar" lyrics by blacktall & Willie Nile-Raspect
In the middle of the night, right in the middle of the street
uptown… downtown, you just feel that beat
There is a marching drum, hear is a song unsung
could be your dream or could be ma dream, it’s not the only
one guitar oh my one guitar…. chorus
Iam a soldier man, fighting/marching in an army/jah army (chorus/refrain)
and I Got no gun, just a one guitar
one guitar… skank guitar…my one guitar…
I see the rising smoke, hear a heartbreak joke
I say my brothers and sisters it is time we spoke
Me just six great strings, like a bell they ring
like a jet plane insane. Crashing in my brain, jet plane,
Insane.Crashing in my brain…chorus
So if you get knocked down, you gotta take a stand
For all the outcasts, dead last, who need a helping hand
So get your tambourines, And turn your amps up loud
And raise your voices, voices, up above the crowd
Up above the sky,one guitar my skank guitar…. chorus
