Gratefully Grounded

É uma banda jamaicana de reggae muito popular durante a Década de 1970. A formação inicial da banda foi formada pelos seguintes integrantes: Albert Griffiths (vocal e guitarra), Clinton Fearon (guitarra e vocal) e Dallimore Sutherland (vocal, baixo e guitarra). O líder vocal e formador da banda Albert Griffiths se revezava nos vocais com Clinton Fearon e Dallimore Sutherland demonstrando a grande versátilidade do grupo. Em 1987, Clinton Fearon deixa a banda para seguir carreira solo e decide morar nos Estados Unidos. A maioria das letras e interpretações são de responsabilidade de Albert. O primeiro grande sucesso da banda foi a canção melódica 'Hello Carol', em 1968. Os dois álbuns mais famosos são Trenchtown Mix Up (1976) e Proverbial Reggae (1978). Por problemas de saúde (Mal de Parkison) o líder e vocalista do grupo Albert Griffiths parou de cantar e deu a responsabilidade do grupo ao seu filho Al Griffhits , com vocal que lembra muito o timbre do pai, e com estilo próprio e muita energia no palco, Al Griffiths é mais uma revelação de músicos jamaicanos. Esta nova formação do grupo the gladiators continua a fazer shows em todo mundo em países como Áustralia, todo continente europeu e vai passar pelo Brasilna Tour Verão (dezembro 2013 a janeiro 2014). Com certeza o grupo the gladiators está sendo muito bem representado por Al Griffiths, já gravou discos como Fathers and sons, Kayans Meets Gladiators Band, Continuation, Zema With The Gladiators band.

(Cassie Capay)
just because our town is small
doesn't mean we have to be
cause we can rise or we can fall
I guess it all depends on me
I will stand against all odds
tell me what you want to see?

(Chelsea Bunting)
it's a long road
but we'll get there
to the lost souls
find your strength in
the love we have to give

CHORUS 
somewhere somewhere
HEY
there is so much hope
somewhere somewhere
HEY
we will find the road
just lead the way
let's make this home
uplift the brave hearts 
and you can echo my soul

HEY
we want the world to know
echo my soul
HEY
we want the world to know
let's make this home
uplift the brave hearts 
and you can echo my soul


(Jenelle Manitowabi)
there's a story in my heart
hear what I have to say
a flood that came in the dark
but our people never changed
we've stayed together from the start
it only made us braver
we never gave into the fire
showed the world that faith works

(Chelsea Bunting)
it's a long road
but we'll get there
to the lost souls
find your strength in
the love we have to give


CHORUS 
somewhere somewhere
HEY
there is so much hope
somewhere somewhere
HEY
we will find the road
just lead the way
let's make this home
uplift the brave hearts 
and you can echo my soul

HEY
we want the world to know
echo my soul
HEY
we want the world to know
let's make this home
uplift the brave hearts 
and you can echo my soul

(Tayler Drew Bottle)
don't believe in everything you hear
listen, come with me, I will make it clear
I know there's something big happening
we wanna rise up from the hole we're standing in
it's time to get out and find strength in my native pride
I will represent my land and make it right
live in a small place with big dreams
I will take any chance that you give me
so let me think deep, don't wanna be forgotten
wanna be a light, while the devil plotting
I wanna see the truth, I'm just being honest
I want to be the best but I gotta keep it modest
I want to see my culture succeed
I wanna feed that love inside me
work endlessly to find the energy
and give everything to be free

(Chelsea Bunting)
it's a long road

Janessa Kejick
keep the old ways that we've always had
it still lives inside
this is a place, where we love the land
let's work to show our pride

Jimi Fobister & Darwin Fobister
keep us safe, keep us free
like it used to be
don't want to be tied down

we find love where we're from
and beat against the drums
it's a beautiful sound

Preston Paul 
from the ground up, we'll find a path home
feel pulled by the sun, wish I can go
we learned from the past now we can grow
we're promised a chance let the plans show
go big, go far, there are no limits
I want to see change so my soul lives it
they cut down our trees while we blow kisses
defend our home while they dismiss us

CHORUS (Sharice Bruce & Dylan Fobister) 

Gete Ishkonigan 
it feels like home to me

Taapshko Endaayaan 
it feels like home to me


Sharice Bruce
don't be afraid
when you're falling in fast
there's something in the unknown

I held onto my culture  
it's been calling me back
there is a story of hope

Jimi Fobister & Darwin Fobister
winds of change, long ago
hear the chants, far and low
our voices cried out for rain

then it rained, brought us life
gave us faith, gave us sight
to see that we shall remain

Paul Cedric Oteskan
let your spirit soar as far as you can
try not to be reminded by the scars from the past
rise from the ruins, keep protecting the land
don't take it for granted, can't neglect what we have  
stand together as a nation, express what we feel
true conversation and address what is real
connected to the land, we are one with each other
this is our home to discover 


CHORUS (Sharice Bruce & Dylan Fobister) 

Gete Ishkonigan 
it feels like home to me

Taapshko Endaayaan 
it feels like home to me

sometimes it's hard to find the words
to say your home to me


Paul Cedric Oteskan
gotta stay on point like the fastest arrow
bring hope to the people of Grassy Narrows
want peace in the land, can't go back to battles
8th fire in action, casting shadows
from the old to new, let us show you the truth
light up the path, there's a glow in the youth
boozhoo to the world, this is where we live
so let the journey begin


CHORUS (Sharice Bruce & Dylan Fobister) 

Gete Ishkonigan  
it feels like home to me

Taapshko Endaayaan 
it feels like home to me

sometimes it's hard to find the words
to say your home to me
