[Chorus:]
(Stephen Marley)
It was written, up in the book of life
That man shall, endure forever more
And it was written, up in the book of life
That man shall, endure forever more
(Damian Marley)
Well did you know the pen is stronger than the knife
They can kill you once but they can’t kill you twice
Did you know destruction of the flesh is not the ending to life fear not of the Anti-Christ
Did you know that I exist before the earth
And did you know my eyes are windows to the world
Did you know you can’t go a Zion and a wear jerry curls
Can’t tell the boys from the girls
Your bodies just a vehicle
Transporting the soul
It’s what’s inside people
Is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil
Every day dem flesh it grow old
Changes of the time take toll
[Chorus:]
(Capleton)
It is told that once this greasy order
Is form it comes into a young man’s world
And two of dem is like a soldier
That joins the thunder is a wonder
One’s attack is like a blunder
One is luckily a stranger
Dem both was born like Jesus inna manger
So join the thunder that’s savin’ our world
[Bridge:]
(Damian Marley)
A vester on his chest and rastafari is his name
A gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain
Blessing that you all be got
Lessons taught you all forgot
Rasta call I shit you not
Do you remember Elijah
And his chariot of flames
Same blood that runs through my veins
(Capleton)
(Drag-On)
Watch for sticks and stones
Stumbling blocks and piles
Life is one big road miles on top of miles
So blessed be the soul that always remains a child
And most people don’t even smile
There’s a natural mystic
Blowing in through the air
So keep it realistic and always be aware
The truth is crying out
And it’s so loud and clear, but most people won’t even hear
Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere
And with so much confusion can one be happy here
The gift of Rastafari
Is for all man to share
But some would rather to be so unfair
[Chorus:]
