Jimmy Cliff
Reggae music is inspirational. It is a music that carries Jah’s prophetical message, the truth, and the light. It’s a music that gives comfort and satisfaction to sufferers, the downtrodden victims, and gives hope to the common people denied justice and abuse in the society.
I love reggae music because it gives me the inspiration to
write without ceasing. Just as I love the music, the same way I love the
artists and the players of the instruments behind the music.
Jimmy Cliff
is one of my favorite reggae artists. I love almost all his songs but not more
than this great song called ‘Sitting Here In Limbo.’
Sitting here in limbo
But I know it won’t be long
Sitting here in limbo
Like a bird without a song
Well, they’re putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll
Yeah, now, sitting here in limbo
Got some time to search my soul
Well, they’re putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
I don’t know where life will leave me
But I know where I have been
I can’t say what life will show me
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is movin’ on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo
Knowing that I have to go
Well, they’re putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
I don’t know where life will take me
But I know where I have been
I don’t know what life will show me
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
That is past and gone
And now it’s time to move along
Gonna lead me on now
Meanwhile, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Meanwhile, they’re putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
