TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE
By Sheldon Blackman
Album: One Big Fat Love Bomb

Where is the fire, the fire in my people?
Where is the fire, the fire in my people?
Where is the fire, oh God!

Two is better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken
Two is better than one - the strength of few could mean that of a nation
Two is better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken
Two is better than one...Oooh yeah, yeah, oooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh yeah, yeah [Oooh yeah, yeah]
Oooh yeah, yeah [Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]
Oooh yeah, yeah, [Oooh yeah, yeah, oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]

When you walking with your load, don't be ashamed, seek help, my brother
When you walking with your load, don't be ashamed, we need one another
When you walking with your load, don't be ashamed seek help, my brother
When you walking with your load, one is a flame but two is a fire.

Two is better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken
Two is better than one - the strength of few could mean that of a nation
Two is better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken
Two is better than one...Oooh yeah, yeah, oooh yeah, yeah.

Where is the fire, [Oooh yeah, yeah] the fire in my people? [Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]
Where is the fire, [Oooh yeah, yeah] the fire in my people? [Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]
Where is the fire, oh God? Where is the fire, oh God?

Just as Christ took hold of the cross - soon came a man to give him a hand
Just as Christ took hold of the cross - soon came a man to show us a plan
To understand... Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Two is better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken
Two is better than one - the strength of few could mean that of a nation
Two is better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken
Two is better than one...Oooh yeah, yeah, oooh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Two is better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken
Two is better than one - the strength of few could mean that of a nation
Two is better than one... Oooh yeah, yeah, oooh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oooh yeah, yeah, [Oooh yeah yeah]
Oooh yeah, yeah, [Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]

Where is the fire, Oooh yeah, yeah [Oooh yeah, yeah]
The fire in my people? Oooh yeah, yeah [Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]
Where is the fire, Oooh yeah, yeah [Oooh yeah, yeah]
The fire in my people...Oooh yeah, yeah [Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]
Where is the fire, oh God? [Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah]
Where is the fire, oh God?

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Sheldon Blackman! You and your family are blessed and you have magnified both those blessings and their Source.

The message of the song is based on the following verses from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

"9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." SOURCE

If you are interested, you may listen to Ecclesiastes, Chapter 4, read by Max McLean.

This song is dedicated to all my country men and especially to the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. There is wonder working power in respect, in collaboration, in real unity.

"Two is better than one - the strength of few could mean that of a nation."

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
