Never Trouble the Devil [Song]

NEVER TROUBLE THE DEVIL [Click link to open video in new window.]
By Lord Brynner

For someone to be rich, someone must be poor
And for someone to be less, someone must be more
For someone to be weak, someone must be strong
And for someone to be right, believe me, someone must be wrong.

So never trouble the Devil [He has his work to do]
The Good and the Evil [The Lord made them too]
If there was no Devil, who would praise the name of the Lord?
There must be a Satan to enhance the glory of God.

If a light didn't shine there must be a shadow
There could never be a joy, if there was no sorrow
And if wasn't for the sun, there would be no rain
There would be no happiness, believe me, if there was no pain.

So never trouble the Devil [He has his work to do]
The Good and the Evil [The Lord made them too]
If there was no Devil, who would praise the name of the Lord?
There must be a Satan to enhance the glory of God.

For anything to rise, something has to fall
If we didn't have a Hell, there would be no Heaven at all
And nothing could be true if there were no lies
If there never was a fool, believe me, no one would be wise.

So never trouble the Devil [He has his work to do]
There must be a reason [The Lord made them too]
If there was no Devil, who would praise the name of the Lord?
There must be a Satan to enhance the glory of God.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Lord Brynner.

  "Jan Malpan pale mwen mal, mwen tann non-mwen kwiye, mwen wive." Bad talkers, I heard my name being called. Here I am!

 "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!
