| Well, it is a steep mountain to climb
|
| And it is a deep river to cross
|
| The road is rocky and rough
|
| So I can’t afford for my soul to lost
|
| And I cannot take this no longer
|
| And I cannot bear this no more
|
| Tired to see my sisters and brothers
|
| Convicted and ignored
|
| So I got to fetch the righteous key
|
| And I got to open sesame
|
| And I got to set the captive free
|
| And I got to hail His majesty
|
| And I got to emancipate myself from mental slavery
|
| Oh, oh, he bingi man will never get weary
|
| The rastaman will never grow old
|
| That’s why the half has never been told
|
| But the bingi man come fi clean up dem soul
|
| The bingi man will never get weary
|
| The rastaman will have his reward
|
| But Jah, Jah bless I with the strength
|
| And the comfort of His love
|
| So long the liar bring this out
|
| And you no read between the lines
|
| Then oonu woulda see what the rastaman find
|
| The truth and the love that is so divine
|
| Unity, strength and we have fi combine
|
| This is a collective mission everyone have to join
|
| Any means necessary a method we have to find
|
| To stop all the war, poverty and crime
|
| Politics and religion we have fi lef that behind
|
| Can’t go a Zion with no carnal mind
|
