Ziggy Marley: Good Old Days

Connections with Ecclesiastes:

"No one knows the future."

"For everything has a season; It's not a time for war, it's a time for peace."

"Let's cherish these moments that we now know."

Lyrics by David Marley:

Good Old Days

Ire days, come on play

Let the angels fly, let the devils die

Got to do what you can with the time at hand

Ali boom mah, yeah, ali boom mah, yeah.

Don't worry your mind, it's just the test of time

In five years, these be the good ol' days

No one knows what the future holds

For everything has a season

It's not a time for war, it's a time for peace

Tomorrow knows tomorrow woes

I remember when grandpa used to say

"Grandson, these be the good ol' days"

These be the good ol' days

These be the good ol' days

These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days

Now comes the moon with its starry lights

And so begins the night life

The tribal dance puts me in a trance

As she pulls me in with her magic swing

I asked of her what do we celebrate

She said to me, "These be the good ol' days"

These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days

These be the good ol' days

There is no future, there is only now, now

Let's cherish these moments that we now know, know, know

These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
