about

This too shall pass; Know that Later will be Greater!
This song goes through 4 key modulations in one drop reggae style, and another 3 key modulations in straight ahead jazz, fully representing our style of JazzReggae.
It also symbolizes keeping yourself in harmony with the Divine as you go through the many changes in life. In life one thing is constant; everything must change.

lyrics

Later will be Greater
Leave behind those doubts and fears
You earned the right to shed those bitter tears
You learned how to take your time
So get ready for your cosmic mind
Later will be so much greater
No more worries about what's in store
You seen it and done it all before
Not fooled by illusions you see
Content to let the blessings be
Later is so much greater
Life will make you take the test
Jah made you different from all the rest
Though you know it's there deep inside
There is no place for you to hide{
Later will be greater
No matter what the hell they say
Go ahead and do it your own way
Be sure and leave no regret
This day will be the best night yet
Later will be greater
Your time is now so don't be afraid
A quitter will seldom ever make the grade
Though blown around like in a gale
A winner can never fail
Later will be greater
Be glad your not the way you were
When you think of pain you will think of her
The pain you felt is now release
Turning music into weapons of peace
Later
See your forest for your trees
All those sins are just disease
Greater
So much more than what you think
Showing love till the sphinx can wink
