I Build This Garden For Us

On their journey through the Bahamas the RIver People stopped by the Versailles Gardens and snapped this photo. The statue actually appears 33 seconds into a video that for Lenny Kravits would be an equivilent of a sports ROOKIE card for his carrier.

It was was at the Versailles Gardens in 1989 when Lenny Kravits had chosen to shoot "I Build This Garden For Us" from his debut album entitled "Let Love Rule" This album possessed truly spiritual lyrics and unifying sentiments at a time when gangster rap was just emerging onto the charts. Most impressive about that album? He plays ALL the instruments with the exception of sax and some solo segments.

Today Lenny is still working spiritual insight and influence into his music and has practically become an icon in todays industry. If all stop and take the same initiative to apply creativity to our lives, imagine how many gardens could fill our world.

I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us

In this garden
This lovely garden
I build a temple of love
Walk with the Father
Won't be a bother
To touch the Earth as it was
We'll farm the land each day
And in the sunshine we will play
Glory glory for the day He came
Our tears had gone away
We'll make love in the shade
And in the ocean we will bathe
Little fishies in the sea
Say hooray

I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us

In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We'll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trust
And darling when we're old
We'll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it's pure it forever last
And darling when you're cold
I'll hold you tight and keep you warm
Little darlin' gonna make it through the storm
You'll never be alone

I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us

In this garden
They'll be no war
No racial prejudice
You'll be my brother
Of any color
You'll just be okay with us
We'll live each day in peace
In hope that we will one day reach
The rest of the world
When they are ready to be teached
The kingdom will come
Thy will will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven
I build this garden
I build this garden for us
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us

I build this garden, yeah
No war no more
Gonna build yeah
Yeah ouh.
