RASTA

Roots and Crown”

(Verse 1)
Jah light rise up inna morning sun,
Blessed be the works that the Lion done,
From Zion come the word and the sound,
Earth rejoice when the truth come ’round.

Mi trod through fire, mi trod through rain,
Still I chant fi heal the pain,
No chain can hold the spirit free,
Rastafari live eternally.

(Chorus)
Roots and crown, we stand our ground,
One love, one heart, one sound,
From the mountain high to the river down,
Rasta live, Rasta live — roots and crown.

(Verse 2)
Babylon try fi twist the youth mind,
But wisdom stronger than their sign,
Read the Psalms, open up your soul,
Jah love make the weak man whole.

No vanity can blind I sight,
I walk by faith, not by might,
Under moon or blazing sun,
Rasta man know Jah Kingdom come.

(Chorus)
Roots and crown, we stand our ground,
One love, one heart, one sound,
From the mountain high to the river down,
Rasta live, Rasta live — roots and crown.

(Bridge)
Chant down Babylon with word, sound, power,
Jah blessing fall like a healing shower,
Africa callin’, I hear the drum,
Time fi unite, the time haffi come.

(Outro)
Rise up children of the Most High,
Lift your voice and testify,
Rastafari reign, no man can drown,
Roots and crown — roots and crown.
