Lyrics Angel - Sault

Lil' young boy turned a rebel in the streets
Them say, "Life lookin' incomplete," well
11 years old and he's own, well
Just can't believe, far away from home

Bad up the police, now he's running for his life
Now he's got nowhere to lay his head tonight, well
Tellin' my mother, "Don't cry"
Only wipin' tears over from her eyes, well

Gunshot, another one
At least he got to live off a gun
Now they say he's a devil in the streets
My little brother was an angel to me

(Run to) save your life
Rude bwoy
Now they think he has no family
My little brother was an angel to me

Come ah England and never went back
Hot bwoy a leave bare shot
Carry G16 over my back
.45 and him have e drum pack

Rebel is a-, rebel is a-, rebel on the block
In it for life, no turning back
In the street, his heart and soul

Gave the street his heart and soul
System made his heart so cold
Daddy taught him to be brave and bold
Mama told him to take control

Never will surrender, no surrender, never fold
She'll never see her son grow old
Jah-Jah love his children more than silver and the gold
This is how his story unfold

Never see my brother no more
Can't replace him with silver and gold
Pray to Jah-Jah to receive his soul
Well

Gunshot, another one
He didn't want to live by the gun
Lord, they say he's a rebel in the streets
My little brother was an angel to me, yeah

(Run to) save your life
(Run to) save your life
(Run to) save your life
(Run to) save your life

(Run to) save your life
(Run to) save your life
(Run to) save your life
(Run to) save your life

Lord, will you open the gates of Zion?
(Zion, Zion)
His soul is ready to, to come home
(Zion, Zion)

Lord, will you open the gates of Zion?
(Zion, Zion)
His soul is ready to come home
(Zion, Zion)

Ready to leave this Earth for Zion

(Ready) ready to walk the streets (walk the streets of Zion) of Zion
Yeah, I-I'm ready, God said He was ready (ready)
"I'm ready to be ready" (ready), "I'm not leavin' 'til I'm ready" (ready)
Ready to cross that bridge (cross that bridge to Zion) to Zion

Cross that bridge to Zion
There are no promises (promises) in Zion

Cross that bridge to Zion
Cross that bridge to Zion
Cross that bridge to Zion
Cross that bridge to Zion

Calling on you
Calling on you, calling on you
Calling on you
You

Ready to walk that street of Zion

In awareness of our true nature
We get the feeling that oneness is a becoming
It is the perpetual rising toward our more subtle, eternal self
While still being balanced by the forces of our physical earth, nature

In this harmonious experience
It is possible for ones who are otherwise seen
As women and men of different religious and cultural spheres
To function as the universal body of the living God

The contradicting rows of opposition
That we play out in the drama of daily earth life
Is transformed into a mindful, inner
Life work

The nurturing of all life, true self-love
Soul rebel
So gentle
Go gently, and find your rhythm

I was living outside my bed
I've been found in the wilderness
And I remember what my grandma said
She said, "Son, don't let them think you're dead"

And I've tried
To solve it
And I knew
That they'd come

And I told his lie, my fear in them
People will say what they want to say
Then any road is gonna take me
Just know that you will reach one day

And I tried
But he's not there
Mmm, mmm-hmm
I know that you

Soul rebel, so gentle
Go gently and find your way
Soul rebel, so gentle
Go gently and find your way

Soul rebel, so gentle
Go gently and find your way
Soul rebel, so gentle
Go gently...
