"I remember when we used to sit, in the government yard in Trenchtown"
"My fear is my only courage"
"Good friends we have or good friends we've lost along the way"

I know, i know. You know the lyrics. But you have to look at the zeitgeist (spirit of the time)of his music. Heavy social and political problems in Jamaica were rampant at the time of his music. He was in a hellish, radical environment and was comforting his woman. He was also reminiscing on times when things were much easier, before opposition started. The song reminds him of togetherness, love, and his people. You also get the sense in some of those verses that he shared, though he had little to give. He always wanted his music to say something. There were rebel lyrics laced throughout all of his music. Think about "Buffalo Soldier", "Could you be loved", "I shot the sheriff" and I could keep going. I listened to him as a child and bobbed my head, but never understood how deep he truly was until I began to understand history, and the ways of this world he and I share(d). Please go to the link I provided. He wrote those songs for us, so that we would never forget. He preserved history.

Women make men lose their minds so they cry.

big boys don't cry
big boys don't cry

big boys don't cry
big boys don't cry....
