It's a burning fire
Rastafari live
Haile Selassie I
Set up the sanitary in every family
And bring it out those who are bound to chains
Him a the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah
Haile Selassie I
It's the almighty name
The name of Rastafari is a very great
Always remember say a love conquers hate
The name of Rastafari is a very great
Galante say poor people keep the faith
Hey
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill
Woah woah woah woah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
And I know that Rastafari live, yah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill
Woah woah woah woah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
And I know that black people must live
I never get weak and I never gwan stop
Until I see it Rome burn down flat
I never get weary and I never gwan stop
Until dem love the poor and have not
A from Zion to earth
Tell dem say Emperor Selassie I the first
Tell dem say fi righteousness dem fi search
Tell dem say stop move blood thirst
Young man don't make the young woman flirt
Mount Zion a court so wear your tall skirt
Rasta's pure blessing and Babylon curse
You wouldn't kill the youth if you know a life worth
Long time the youth dem hunger and thirst
Can't win no war if food no plant inna dirt
But the Babylon boor dem try fi make tings worse
That's why the hammer's ready and it ago burst
Rasta rule the earth
I never get weak and I never gwan stop
Until I see it Rome burn down flat
I never get weak and I never gwan stop
Until I see it
Love the poor and have not
I, I, I, I...
I know that someday the people will defend their own
And if the people should fight for equal
Rights and justice you should leave dem alone
Dem in treating the people so filthy inna the country and town
We a know black woman go use cleanliness and
Fight dem guilty and dem judgment pronounce
Get up and stand up with your words and sound
Dem face coulda long out but the truth must be known
Repatriation but the gun haffi go down
Hear Rastafari pon the throne
Oh
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill
Woah woah woah woah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
And I know that King Selassie I live, yah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
And I know that dream and we well live
I never get weak and I never gwan stop
Until I see it Rome burn down flat
I never get weary and I never gwan stop
Rastafari love the poor and have not
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill
Woah woah woah woah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
And I know that ghetto people haffi live
Woah oh
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill
Woah woah woah woah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Woah oh
Poor people dem fi stop chill
Yo dem a fi shut up, hurt, and quiet
Babylon get butt up all inna the riot
Trod wicked Selassie 'cause him live a year tired
Babylon no truthful, mi see say dem a liar
Talk 'bout dem brave but mi know say dem a coward
Babylon the richest in the earth, it is ours
Babylon the wicked man must dem devour
Ya how
Dem never know yet the hour
Oh
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill, yah
Lift mine eyes to the hills
