Ethiopia by Johnny Minstrel published on 2013-09-20T21:41:42Z Ethiopia Words & music: Pravinand Maharaj (Johnny Minstrel) Your fear has overcome you And faith is just a matter of doing what you really doubt Your strength has slowly left you And everything you lost are the only things you cared about Your dreams in shattered jars of clay now Scattered all across the world and everybody knows You scream through another day now But all you hear are echoes of yourself the valley throws Chorus So far you couldn’t remember Eden So down the road you don’t know who you are So close to the post of the one left scourged and bleeding On the desert road back to Ethiopia The light is slowly fading Edges of the darkness are creeping on your soul Your queen back home is waiting Waiting for the gift that can’t be bought or sold Chorus A sound and your heart it freezes Till a voice tells you be not afraid Just be strong There’s a man and he’s sent by Jesus As your fears disappear You ask him what took so long Chorus Genre Outlaw Gospel Comment by Daniels & Durgy Another of your amazing songs that I am only now hearing for the first time. Such outstanding songwriting and just a classic folk performance. A great pleasure.
