lyrics

i was adrift like the wind in the trees
where the pea doves were singin' their sweet melodies
there I was - Not a care in the world
save for the smile of a beautiful girl
then you cam and you opened me to this
whole way of livin' I never knew exists
untied my hands
cleared up my lazy head
spoke to me and this is what you said

you can watch the world roll on by
(or) grab ahold jump up for the ride
why sit out when you can fly

i'm drawn to you like a baby to the mother; like a bee to the rose
points me like a needle on a compass; like a great river flows

teach a man how to fish and he'll fill up his boat
but you fish for the man and he won't stay afloat
gotta push while you offer support
livin' life to the fullest will always take work
grab all the joy anyway that you can
spread it among every child, woman and man
live by the sun and love by the moon
grab life, 'cause it goes by so soon

why watch the world roll on by
grab ahold jump up for the ride
why sit out when you can fly

people I wah tell you there are times in this life
where there are no easy days, only crazy nights
whole leap a trouble wid di gial dem and blue flashing lights
babylon hancuff yuh han' tight
lose what you love and you love even more
iz love dat you love at the core
think about it
watch the sun go down over the ocean you don't doubt it
mek di sunshine brothers lick you wid some music and you shout it
even in darkness deep down in di heart you have blindin' sight
you did show me dis you give me weapon fi fight wid
all di party yes I muss reck di mic
happiness our divine right

Owen Plant & Brother Vic Saint Simons Island, Georgia

Jamaican-Born, Singer/Songwriter/Performer Owen Plant's style is reminiscent of artists from the '70s, old-time reggae groups and contemporary acoustic artists. His laid back, soothing and delicately honed vocals and songwriting are the center pieces of his sound.

His forthcoming LP, “I Was on the Moon” is his most ambitious in scope. It is slated for release early summer 2016. ... more
