Jah Work Lyrics

Tell me do you really know
your brother man
cause a heart speaks louder
than a color can
and why would you even
shake a man's hand
if you're not going
to help him stand

Jah work
Jah work
Jah work is never done

Every man's actions
belong to he
if prepared for thereafter
to each his destiny
some people believe
and some people know
some people deceive
and some people show

Jah work
Jah work
Jah work is never done

You must do the heaviest
so many shall do none
you have got to stand firm
so many shall run
some they rest their head at night
some get no sleep at all
if you listen close to what you see
you will hear the call

What exactly does jah work mean? I think it might mean your work, but i'm not sure. Other than that, I think the songs about standing up for something, maybe something to do with racism "cause a heart speaks louder than a color can "

It means 'god's work'

The Knave, you are missing out.

Jah does mean God. This song is all about peace and unity.

Well I think the Knave might need a little of Jah's work... This song is one of his most beautiful and mooving, if you like it also check out Excuse Me Mr, if you haven't heard it

I think the song is about the infinity of being, god, whatever you want to call it.

"and why would you even, shake a man's hand, if you're not going, to help him stand" I interpret as: If there is a god that had the power to create something as marvellous as the human being, why wouldn't he help this human.

You will hear the call - It's about experiencing god i think.
