Ali Campbell - Don't Shoot The Messenger lyrics

CHORUS Don't shoot the messenger... He don't take sides He doesn't deal on politics That's where the devil hides It's preach and love he's preaching Put all doubt aside (All the people he was reaching ) (He was filling them with pride... x2) A strong voice of his people And a third world superstar Here to educate and enlighten us And to spread his message near and far They criticized his use of 'erb But we didn't all agree And he touched the hearts of people YEAH... All across the seven seas... CHORUS Don't shoot the messenger... He don't take sides He doesn't deal in politics That's where the devil hides It's preach and love he's preaching Put all doubt aside (All the people he was reaching) (He was filling them with pride... x2) From St Annes Bay and born of Jah How could he have known That his truth lay in a destiny The world would come to know Some say he was a prophet A mystic telling tales of strife His message plain and simple YEAH To live one love, one life... CHORUS Don't shoot the messenger... He don't take sides He doesn't deal on politics That's where the devil hides It's preach and love he's preaching Put all doubt aside (All the people he was reaching) (He was filling them with pride... x2) Like most great men in history... The mark he left transcends Died young while on his mission He pa**ed the torch onto his children To bring his positive to the people Preaching universal love Crossed beliefs and many boundaries YEAH And his legacy lives on... CHORUS Don't shoot the messenger... He don't take sides He doesn't deal on politics That's where the devil hides It's preach and love he's preaching Put all doubt aside (All the people he was reaching ) (He was filling them with pride... x2) CHORUS...
