Four Seasons in Marriage (Remix)

One love, one heart, one destiny

Professor Edgar Ng'oma, speaking to the nations

Listen to the rhythm, learn from the seasons

Yeah, we talkin' 'bout the foundation today

I look into the mirror, I look into the past

Ask myself the question, why things no longer last?

In the sixty, in the eighty, love was built to stay

Now the flame is flicker-in', fade-in' away

Sixty percent walkin' out of the door

Tell me, brother, what are we lookin' for?

Why the divorce? Why the quick exit?

Love is a garden, you gotta go and respect it

Seasons they change, winter to the spring

But you throw away the crown and you lose the ring

Why the divorce? Tell me why?

We chase the feeling, call it love, runnin' blind

Leavin' the character and wisdom far behind

In the old days, the family held the key

Not just the ego, but the legacy for you and me

Now when the storm blows, everybody run

Waitin' for the shadow, forgettin' the sun

Why the divorce? Why the quick exit?

Love is a garden, you gotta go and respect it

Seasons they change, winter to the spring

But you throw away the crown and you lose the ring

Why the divorce? Tell me why?

It's not about lookin' back to yesterday's chain

But lookin' for the medicine to stop the pain

Wisdom is the compass, character the ground

Build a solid shelter, keep your feet on sound

So let the drums beat, let the bass line roll

Marriage is a journey for the weary soul

Choose with the spirit, choose with the mind

Leave the selfishness and the pride behind

Why the divorce? Why the quick exit?

Love is a garden, you gotta go and respect it

Seasons they change, winter to the spring

But you throw away the crown and you lose the ring

Why the divorce? Tell me why?

Yeah, seasons change, but the love remains

If you build it right, breakin' all the chains

Respect the union, respect the soul

Jah bless the house, make it whole

One love, Professor Ng'oma, we out.
