about

Featuring Michelle Butters on lead vocals, this song of Grahame's has been recorded before, but this version brings a remarkably authentic reggae feel to it, making it almost impossible to listen to and remain static!

Like much reggae, though, underneath the happy-go-lucky surface lies a serious message.

"This is a song about choices. Eventually we all need at some stage to decide who we are going to serve."

lyrics

LYRICS

When you're down and feeling low
And all your problems just won't go
You think the answer is in drugs
Or maybe the bottom of a bottle

CHORUS:
You know you can't serve two masters
It's got to be one or the other
You have to make up your own mind
Just who it's gonna be

And when you're down for the final count
And all your mates have gone to ground
You call out but no one hears you
You're all alone and feeling blue

REPEAT CHORUS

The answer ain't in a bottle of booze
Or sex you had with someone last night
Have the courage to turn it all around
Rely on Jesus go for higher ground

REPEAT CHORUS

When you're down and feeling low
And all your problems just won't go
You feel the answer is in drugs
Or maybe the bottom of the bottle

REPEAT CHORUS
