Walter Radni's Struggle: A Reggae Tale of Fate and Betrayal
Lyrics
You nuh see how de clou' them jus' came sit upon me dream
You don't see how the clouds just came and covered my dream
came sit upon me dream like a dark silk screen
Came and covered my dream like a dark silk screen
a dark silk screen over de vision I had seen
A dark silk screen over the vision I had seen
vision I had seen, the vision I had seen
Vision I had seen, the vision I had seen
So me say that Walter Radni was a victim of hate
So I say that Walter Radni was a victim of hate
someone say that him gone thru heaven's gate
Someone says he has passed through heaven's gate
someone that Walter Radni shouldn't tek up his true weight
Someone suggests that Walter Radni shouldn't carry his true weight
an' go carry 'pon 'im back like 'im de weary man a rock
And carry it on his back like he's the weary man a rock
But look how de clou' dem jus' came sat upon me dream
But see how the clouds just came and sat upon my dream
came sit upon me dream like a shout or a scream
Came and sat upon my dream like a shout or a scream
a shout or a scream or a really ugly scene
A shout or a scream or a really ugly scene
that awake me from the dream an' alert me to the scheme
That woke me from the dream and alerted me to the scheme
So me say that Walter Radni was a prisoner of fate
So I say that Walter Radni was a prisoner of fate
someone say that him gone thru de hero's gate
Someone says he has gone through the hero's gate
someone say that Walter Radni couldn't tek his true weight
Someone says that Walter Radni couldn't bear his true weight
so 'im tek it off 'im back an' go pick it 'pon 'im lap
So he took it off his back and put it on his lap
an' go fall in a trap, an' Sam Burnham get it drop
And fell into a trap, and Sam Burnham got caught
But look how me dream come jus' get blown to smithereen
But see how my dream just got blown to smithereens
came blown to smithereen ina de miggle of the dream
Came blown to smithereens in the middle of the dream
Miggle of the dream before de peeple dem come in
In the middle of the dream before the people came in
peeple dem come in, the peeple dem come in
The people came in, the people came in
So me say that Walter Radni was no shark fi de sea
So I say that Walter Radni was no shark for the sea
An' all that him did wan' was fi set 'im peeple free
And all he wanted was to set his people free
Wi' de workers an' de peasan's him should a corporate
With the workers and the peasants, he should cooperate
But like a fish to de hook, 'im go bite 'pon Burnham bait
But like a fish to the hook, he bit on Burnham's bait
You nuh see how me dream come jus' get blown to smithereen
You don't see how my dream just got blown to smithereens
An' blown to smithereen ina de miggle of the dream
And blown to smithereens in the middle of the dream
Miggle of the dream before de really crucial scene
In the middle of the dream before the really crucial scene
the really crucial scene when the peeple dem come in
The really crucial scene when the people came in
