Shadows After Dark ft. Alborosie, Chris Martin, Tarrus Riley, Etana and more | Official Lyric Video

To raise awareness and spark conversations about the crime of human trafficking, “Shadows After Dark” the new single written and produced by reggae star Alborosie, encourages persons to be very careful of whom they trust. The Italian born Alborosie, who has worked and lived in Jamaica for more than 15 years, is the person behind this exceptional recording and the charitable interest in this latest human trafficking initiative sponsored by The National Task Force Against Trafficking in Persons (NATFATIP). About the issue of Human Trafficking Alborosie says “we have the power to bring these crimes to an end. Our voices, together, will do that – Reggae music is that powerful.”

The power of reggae is demonstrated on the song which features heartfelt performances from Christopher Martin, Romain Virgo, Dean Fraser, Duane Stephenson, Kabaka Pyramid, Etana, Taurus Riley, Kumar, Morgan Heritage, Raging Fyah and Sandy Smith. The song lyric “you can see a man’s face but not his heart” accentuates how trust can be abused, these words are directed to the young and vulnerable population of Jamaica and the world.

On December 1, an international poster competition will also be launched to raise awareness against human trafficking and will end next May. NATFATIP was established in 2005 as a multi-agency approach by the Government of Jamaica to strengthen Jamaica’s legislative, institutional and operational capacity to combat Trafficking in persons (TIP). Trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons. This can be accomplished by means of threat, use of force, forms of coercion, abduction, deception or abuse of power.

Shadows After Dark | Lyrics

You are a mountain
You are a river
Out there is a jungle
Have to be stronger
You can see a mans face but never his heart
Trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark)
No shadows after dark
You can show you care
Keep that love in your heart
Trust no shadow after dark (no shadows after dark)
Shadow after dark
And whatever the circumstance
Pushing you to take a chance
You better follow your intuition telling you to take a stance
You can see the face
But not the heart
Those who want to do you wrong
So-so many gone without a trace
Gone without a sound
You gotta believe and never let go (never let go)
Because You can see a mans face
But you can’t see his heart
Trust no shadow after dark (shadows after dark)
No shadow after dark
You can show you care
Keep Jah love in your heart
But trust no shadow after dark (no shadows after dark)
No shadow after dark
You can see a mans face
But you can’t see his heart
Trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark
No shadows after dark
Sweetest words, lyrics when them talk
But trust no shadow after dark
No shadow after dark
Be wise
Memba Mama advise
Beautiful eyes … lies (in these times)
Can’t trust the wolf in sheep’s clothing
Don’t take nothing from a man if you don’t know him
Soon as you blink
Another life ah get stolen
Dem heart colder than the lake dem weh frozen
It’s a crazy world we’re living in
Open your eyes
You can see a mans face but you can’t see his heart
Trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark)
No shadows after dark
You can show you care
Keep the love in your heart
Trust no shadows after dark (no shadows after dark)
You can see a mans face but you can’t see his heart
Trust no shadow after dark
No shadow after dark
You can show you care keep that love in your heart
but trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark)
No shadow after dark
There is pain in everything
But if hope is what you bring
There’s a time and a place
To ask for help don’t be ashamed
Even though it might seem hard
Hold on don’t let go
You are careful of the personal information you disclose
You can see a mans face but you can’t see his heart
Trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark)
No shadows after dark
Oh no no no no
Protect the mothers
Protect the elders
And Protect our children
From the hurts and the thieves out there
You can see a mans face but can’t see his heart
You can show that you care
Keep that love in your heart
