Rewriting Bob Marley's Is This Love

Life is simple, but love is true

Woman, you see

That’s all I have

A fancy castle, I can’t build you

But a shelter full of love

```

I want to treat you well

And I will

Day and night,

I want to love you

That’s how I feel

```

Is it love?

Could you tell

Is it love?

That I feel?

Woman, tell me

You will

```

I’m willing to show you

Actions can tell

My purist love

You could tell

```

Share the single bed

We will

With the roof over our heads

We shall

```

Woman, you see

Life is humble, but love is true

Live together with love

We shall

Provide us bread

Jah will

I give ya the love 

that I feel

It is love

I know you can tell.

I'm taking an English class, studying Bob Marley this semester. There's a group presentation. We chose to do Kaya, one of my favorite album by Marley. I did the song Is This Love?  

I always think that I'm a romanticist. Bob Marley has often been viewed as Rasta warrior. But, studying his life and music allows me to know the romantic poet that living in his deepest heart. People might say Marley went soft on his album, but that is who he really was. He was the great man, teaching people to fight for themselves but also teaching them how to love. He was tough like a warrior but also bright and soft like the sunshine. 

Love is the common language of human beings, and love brings people together.
