Soldiers of Jah Army (SOJA) is a reggae band based in Arlington, Virginia in the Northern Virginia / Washington, D.C. area. Starting as an active band in 1997, their music is produced under the record label Innerloop. Jacob Hemphill (vocals, guitar) and Bob Jefferson (bass) met in first grade shortly after Hemphill had returned with his family from living in Africa. He and Jefferson then met Patrick O’Shea (keyboards), Ryan Berty (drums), and Ken Brownell (percussion) in middle and high school.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
FC I never really got why we're here Dm Just look at all we build in our lives And we all disappear GmF A few of us are born with so much C While most of us just chasing down a dream that we just can't touch FC So why we try so hard in this place? Dm When pain and suffering is a guarantee And happiness is a phase GmF I wonder if one day we're at peace C Or will this whole world just become like the middle east?
[Chorus]
CDm But when i (we) was (were) younger, when i (we) was (were) younger BbF I had the answers, i've got to say FCDm But all of my answers, now that i'm older BbF Turned into questions, in front of me
[Verse]
FC I wonder where we go when we die Dm If there is anything past our lost sun and our sky? GmF Cuz airports only take us so high C Is it hidden in the stars? What's the answer to your soul lying? I wonder do we get to come back I wonder if i will remember these questions i've asked Or will i just star over again? I hope it's not too hard to find all of my old friends.
[Chorus]
CDm But when i (we) was (were) younger, when i (we) was (were) younger BbF I had the answers, i've got to say FCDm But all of my answers, now that i'm older BbF Turned into questions, in front of me
[Verse]
I wonder if we get one true love Or maybe there's a few out there Or maybe not even one I wonder if it's made up by man I wonder if love is what we make with our own two hands I wonder why i write all these songs I wonder if you know what you're saying when you sing along And will you know my name when i'm gone? Or are you just too sick of these love songs?
[Chorus]
CDm But when i (we) was (were) younger, when i (we) was (were) younger BbF I had the answers, i've got to say FCDm But all of my answers, now that i'm older BbF Turned into questions, in front of me
[Chorus]
CDm But when i (we) was (were) younger, when i (we) was (were) younger BbF I had the answers, i've got to say FCDm But all of my answers, now that i'm older BbF Turned into questions, right in front of me FCDm Right in front of me, in front of me BbFCDmBbF Everythings changes in front of me
