Lyric discussion by Steppingrazor 

this song was written about the Assasination attempt on his life in 76, "Back them up, oh not the brothers,But the ones, who set them up" "Thinking your in heaven but your living in hell" he's talking about the political involvement and the guiltiness they should be feeling.

"Oh children weep no more Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree"

before the assasins rushed in, Rita was putting her kids in the car when the gunshots burst Rita was hit in the head and the kids where crying, Bob was in the kitchen eating fruit when the gunmen rushed in an opened fire during that moment bob saw the sycamore tree and made a break for it .

R.I.P. Robert Nesta Marley

@Steppingrazor Amazing that it was a Sycamore. The sycamore symbolizes clarity.. and in the scripture I believe it means a clear and safe way to see the Lord. I might be paraphrasing. Still though, extremely cosmic and interesting it was a Sycamore. He saw things clearly.
