Believe In Yourself (Arthur Theme Song) lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Every day when you're walking down the street

Everybody that you meet

Has an original point of view

And I say, "Hey!"

What a wonderful kind of day

Where you can learn to work and play

And get along with each other

You got to listen to your heart

Listen to the beat

Listen to the rhythm

The rhythm of the street

Open up your eyes

Open up your ears

Get together

And make things better

By working together

It's a simple message and it comes from the heart

Believe in yourself (believe in yourself)

Well, that's the place to start (to start)

And I say, "Hey!"

What a wonderful kind of day

Where you learn to work and play

And get along with each other

Hey!

What a wonderful kind of day

Hey!

Could You Be Loved lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Could you be loved and be loved?

Don't let them fool ya

Or even try to school ya! Oh, no

We've got a mind of our own

So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right

Love would never leave us alone

A-yin the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved?

Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too

So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)

Love your brotherman

(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be loved?)

Don't let them change ya, oh

Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no

We've got a life to live

They say: only - only

Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive

Stay alive! Eh

Could you be loved and be loved?

Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry

No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied)

Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be loved?)

Say something! Say something

(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)

Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)

Say something! Say something! (Say something!)

Say something! Say something! (Could you be loved?)

Say something! Say something! Reggae, reggae

Say something! Rockers, rockers

Say something! Reggae, reggae

Say something! Rockers, rockers

Say something! (Could you be loved?)

Say something! Uh

Say something! Come on

Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)

Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)

Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)

Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)

Free To Be...A Family lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

We're all branches of the same family tree

But every family's different, don't you know?

Reaching for the sun comes very naturally

We've only got to let each other grow

I've got a home

I've found my place

I live with people

Who are glad to see my face

We're free to be

You and me

And you and me

We're free to be... a family

We're all working in the same big marching band

But drums and horns have different things to say

All together we'll ring music through the land

We've only got to let each other play

I've got a place

I've found my home

I'm only solo

When I want to be alone

We're free to be

You and me

And you and me

We're free to be... a family

So many groups in the family soup

So many combinations

Might be people who look like you

Or they might be no relation

Birds of a feather, they flock together

Yes, sometimes they do

But if a little bird joins an elephant herd

Hey, that's a family, too

We're all cooking up the same big barbeque

But we like spicy, you like sticky sweet

Maybe we can trade our recipe with you

Then how about we help each other eat

This is my home

These are my folks

These are our secrets

And our habits and our jokes

We're free to be

You and me

And you and me

We're free to be... a family

We're free to be

You and me

And you and me

We're free to be... a family

HOME lyrics - Mathieu Koss & Ziggy Marley

Roller coaster

Got me up down

Last night under neon lights

So late, so long

In a new day with an old song

Sunrise, red eyes, it's time

Oh, it's been calling me, calling me, calling me, oh-oh

It's been pulling me, pulling me

Tired of running away

Tired of holding my breath, I see

New faces every day

But one place I cannot forget

Deep in the crowd now

But still feel alone

Tired of running away

Time to make my way back home

Make my way back

Make my way back home

Make my way back

So Jah, I know

I'll find a place someday

Don't know how I'm gonna make it there

I know I'll go

On a wing and prayer

Sunrise, red eyes, it's time

Tired of running away

Tired of holding my breath, I see

New faces every day

But one place I cannot forget

Deep in the crowd now

But still feel alone

Tired of running away

Time to make my way back home

Make my way back home

Make my way back

Oh, it's been calling me, calling me, calling me, oh-oh

It's been pulling me, pulling me

Oh, it's been calling me, calling me, calling me, oh-oh

It's been pulling me, pulling me

Tired of running away

Tired of holding my breath

Tired of running away

Time to make my way back home

Make my way back

Make my way back home

Make my way back

Make my way back home

(Find my way back home

Find my way back home

Oh Lord)

Got to find my way back home

Love Power lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Love power, a little love power

Lyin' In Bed lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Praise god I say, praise god each day

He helped me to overcome

I remember once I couldn't get out of bed

So I sing and say... yeah

Lying in bed got nothin' to do

No one to rub my head

Playing my guitar my only friend

It's gonna last me till the end

Don't wanna land it

Wanna get out instead

I wanna feel free with activity

Above my bed bob face us all

Looking at me so passionately

Well in his eyes I saw the truth

The truth of a rastaman

The truth of a higher man

To the bridge

Don't wanna land it

Wanna get out instead

I wanna feel free with activity

Well I got lots and lots of company yeah

Alot of good vibes flowing around me

Nurses coming and wondering, o god

Is this really Ziggy Marley

Lying in bed got nothin' to do

No one to rub my head

Strumming my guitar my only friend

It's gonna last me till the end

Above my bed bob face us all, my daddy

Looking at me so passionately, lil brother

Well in his eyes I saw the truth, my name

The truth of a rastaman

The truth of a higherman

Rastafari no, I n I give praises

I n I thank Jah for, his health

If it was not for him

What would I, what would I've done

So I say amen

Don't wanna land it

Wanna get out instead

I wanna feel free with activity

Don't wanna land it

Wanna get out instead

I wanna feel free with activity

Don't wanna land it

Wanna get out instead

I wanna feel free with activity

Spin It Faster lyrics - Ben Harper & Ziggy Marley

DJ play that song for me

With the one drop beat

I'm not here to lean on the wall

Got to move my feet

I'm your everlaster

Spin it faster

Some need religion

Some just need a plan

Better use too much butter

Than to burn the pan

Reverend, priest, preacher and a pastor

Spin it faster

Repetition is to conviction

What a hammer is to a stone

Hard times they will come

But hard times they'll be gone

Go ahead and ask her

Spin it faster

Stir It Up lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

The Lucky One lyrics - Ziggy Marley (feat. Stephen Marley)

I am the lucky one

She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

I never knew true love could be true

Till I got my eyes on you

Wondering how it feels so right

Opening up my mind tonight

A little bit'll take me a long way

I get my blessings every day

Wondering how it feels so nice

Opening up my heart tonight

I am the lucky one

She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

Taking in the feelings I won't define

You are the light that makes me shine

Living in a world that's full of lies

Only the real one will survive

Nobody, nobody really knows

How this love started to grow

They sit and wonder all the time

How we lit in this story of mine

I am the lucky one

I am the lucky one, yeah

She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

She said it

She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

[?]

I am the lucky one

I am the lucky one, yeah

She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

She said it

She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

She said

She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

No, I'm the lucky one

I am the lucky one
