Jah gonna start this revolution
The light struck the night,
Too indiscipline a battle dem fight
Walk and talk they still, mash dem down we will
With the strength of a lion stand still
Ire, Ire, war today, oh still I hear war today
The youth man call upon these elders of which we seek after
The Congo Man a chanting, oh dem Congo Man a chant
All the youth dem know, but they cannot see
It’s not the use to laugh, when they beat upon we
All the youth dem know, of all those tears we cry
Yes of this Rastaman life, of this Rastaman life
And you can see the changes
From the minds and thoughts of our children
In a desolate place
Oh we give thanks and praises to our elders
For the guidance we seek after
We give thanks and praises to our elders
For unto them we know that
No one shall stand alone tonight
Shall run, run tonight, shall stand alone tonight
Shall run, run tonight
Long before this war we use to cry we use to lie in bed
With visions of fire running red,
So I call upon my elders instead
Don Carlos at the control
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Now (4x)
See them come up along the road, oh I can see them
Some walk by day some stalk by night
Oh Rastafari shall greet them in the end
And so de man dem run up so long, so long, Oh, Lord!
De Beaten dem down, de shootin' dem down
It's a poor man's battle for the youth man stalk
And the rich dem a run away
Seems like de not know dem right from wrong
But I see the youth will fight tonight, wow
Look how they jump, and shriek and moan
For natty coming over: Oh freedom taking over
