Honor
Words & Music by Shimshai
Cool water spring will flow
Bring unto life what it needs to grow
Golden sun ray glow
Let your luminous light behold
Breath deep in angel air
Flow within without you and everywhere
Praise thee wide earth so fair
In you I take comfort there
Honor thy Mother and thy Father
That thy days be long upon this Earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
May the peace of Jah be with thee
Abide in your heart for eternity
Jah Jah love gon' set you free
And love will always be
Creation work so true
Bring forth a fruit in a season due
Holy wisdom guide you thru
In everything you do
Honor thy Mother and thy Father
That thy days be long upon this Earth
Love thy sister and thy brother as thyself
Honor is an old song that could have easily ended up on I Sense Your Presence but that album just felt complete at the time, and it was never really right on the next few projects. The song does actually stem from the teachings of the Essenes as much of my older works do. Invoking the spirits or angels of the elements and attributes of the Earthly Mother (Water, Air, Sun/Fire, Earth) and the Heavenly Father (Peace, Love, Work, Wisdom).
