lyrics
(Chorus):
Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
You owe me, you owe me,
For all your life is worth,
You owe me, you owe me,
For all your life is worth,
Look what gonna happen,
With a love like that,
Look what gonna happen,
With a love like that,
It light up, it bright up,
It shine the whole sky,
It light up, it bright up,
It shine the whole sky.
(Verse):
When your gonna give your love,
I-man give it freely,
No matter how another woman,
Or man receive it,
Let's give our love,
Without any hesitation,
Just like the Sun give its love,
With no stipulation.
(Chorus):
Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
You owe me, you owe me,
For all your life is worth,
You owe me, you owe me,
For all your life is worth,
Look what gonna happen,
With a love like that,
Look what gonna happen,
With a love like that,
It light up, it bright up,
It shine the whole sky,
It light up, it bright up,
It shine the whole sky.
(Verse):
When your gonna give your love,
I-man give it freely,
No matter how another woman,
Or man receive it,
Let's give our love,
Without any hesitation,
Just like the Sun give its love,
With no stipulation.
(Chorus):
Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
You owe me, you owe me,
For all your life is worth,
You owe me, you owe me,
For all your life is worth,
Look what gonna happen,
With a love like that,
Look what gonna happen,
With a love like that,
It light up, it bright up,
It shine the whole sky,
It light up, it bright up,
It shine the whole sky.
(Ending)
Ooh come and get some loving (repeats)
Come and get come and get some loving (repeats)

The Akasha sound gives birth to an unmistakable variety of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of The Skatalites, The Maytals,
Heptones, Desmond Dekker and The Wailers.
"Akasha excels at conjuring up memories of reggae’s heyday, hewing close to its stylistic conventions while stretching out enough to incorporate many of its various strains and mutations."
