upfulness and love

can you spare a moment of your time to save our lands

'cause the open spaces are disappearing

can't you overstand

that the poisoning of our oceans will be the end of all mankind

and desolation and destruction will be all that's left behind

but if we make a change

rearrange

we can make a land

big enough for we

rock and tree

animal and man

where our children can grow in the glow of the motherland

we can make it there

i can show you where

'cause in the purest light of zion all truth shall reveal

the blackened hearts of those who seek power

lie

cheat and steal

but if we all will join our hearts and hands together we shall be

a body so strong

fighting against all hypocrisy

and forever we shall live in our hearts

not their history

and they'll never never tear us apart with iniquity

we shall break the chains from the slaves

set our people free

and i will comfort you and you will shelter me

and if you fall in line i and i will stop to pick you up

'cause i would never leave you behind

to drink the water from their poison cup

'cause these times are getting tough

the road is long and how the river's wide

but jah will light the way with his love and i will lead you to the other side

i have heard the waterfalls weeping as i prayed

felt the sun burn a little bit hotter every day

but when i look up and i see the rainbow up in the sky

it fills the vibes of upfulness and love in i and i

but father i never claimed to be a perfect man

i just want to live clean and be free

i know its a long and winding road ahead

it's rocky as far as i can see

but i will be with you and you will be with me

and if you fall in line i and i will stop to pick you up

'cause i would never leave you behind

to drink the water from their poison cup

'cause these times are getting tough

the road is long and how the river's wide

but jah will light the way with his love and i will lead you to the other side

'cause i am your protector

your keeper and you are mine

so it shall be until the end of time

you are i and i guardian and shepherd and i am yours

so it shall be now and foriver more
