Words of The Week: Flying High by Jahdan Blakkamoore


Flying High

So high
Oh flying high upon the wings of wings
A new day dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
Sipping the water from the Holy Springs
Flying high upon the wings of wings
A new is dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
Sipping the water from the Holy Springs

We nah bow inna babylon none at all
No time no way
As long as we can pray
They won’t lead I astray
Good lessons learned under peer tribulation
We still stand firm in this generation
Born to bare witness to the Gideon days
Oh yeah
Babylon a fight fi control over natural things
Dem forgot all the blessings that nature brings
And they have taken perilous ways

But oh I’m flying high upon the wings of wings
And a new is dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
Sipping the water from the Holy Springs
I’m flying high upon the wings of wings
A new is dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
I’m sipping the water from the Holy Springs

Back from mentally overcoming the psychological stress of post traumatic slavery syndrome
Like a fish outta water we’ve been transplanted and still come fi burn down babylon kingdom
We are the manifestations of prophets in percolations
In this generation, we must face the day

And now we’re flying high upon the wings of wings
A new is dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
Sipping the water from the Holy Springs
I’m flying high upon the wings of wings
A new is dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
Sipping the water from the Holy Springs

Rastafari no partial, like unto the ways of man
You can’t just sweep your dutty deeds under the rug and feel like you can get away
Where can you run to and hide from the controller of time?
Who sees all and all and is overall with the all seeing eye
I see dutty babylon dem ah come with dem likkle futile plan
But dem a cut down the woodland
Greedy to their own deminds
Babylon a fight fi control over natural things
Dem forgot all the blessings that nature brings
And they have taken perilous ways

I’m flying high upon the wings of wings
A new is dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
Sipping the water from the Holy Springs
I’m flying high upon the wings of wings
A new is dawning and a new song fi sing
Give thanks to the Queen and to the King of Kings
Sipping the water from the Holy Springs

Flying high on the wings of wings of wings. . .
