lyrics

Why hold your hands out for the shackles
You are the innocent ones
Why sacrifice your soul
For the profit of your captors
You've got to dance on the Earth
And use the life you've been given
Cause none of them give you freedom
None of them leave you living

Don't let them fool you
No don't fool yourself
Don't let them take you
And hold you in their hell
You've rested your souls
But they're slipping away
Lift up and arise
For the coming of today

Jah children rise
Rise rise rise
Fill your souls with Jah light
Rise rise rise
Sing your love sing your rights and rise
Rise rise rise
For the coming of this long night
This long night

You're walking on sacred ground
The fruit of Jah Earth in abundance surround you
Why do you turn your head away
The further that you stumble and fall
The further to climb out of Babylon walls
Keep love as your answer come what may

Don't let them fool you
Oh no don't fool yourself
Don't let them take you
And hold you in their hell
You've rested your souls
But they're slipping away
Lift up and rise
For the coming of today

Jah children rise
Rise rise rise
Build your souls with Jah light
Rise rise rise
Sing your love sing your rights and rise
Rise rise rise
For the coming of this long night
