Ah, ah, ah, ah
Jah-Jah-ah-u-a-u-ah (4x)
We have come to cry, upon the hillside and why?
Loaning them hearts to you and I
Robbing against them, oh I
Smile?Yes I, Gather upon the hillside for I,
Wo-oh-oh Lord
Smile?Yes I, chant upon dem hillside
Whispering thoughts that rise against I
Reaping over hills and boundaries
Impose their thought on you and I
Oh let them be a martyr,
But dont let them suffer for these chains I fear Lord
They will have to linger for life
Them say
Smile?Yes I, Gathered upon the hillside
Warring, warring, warring for them
Sure theyll be mourning, mourning
Mourning for them
Warrior talks on the hillside
Of how the ocean use to be our home
Over the man depths, the man go
Leave another stone for you and I
And so the Rasta a leave home
Red, red, gold and green them save!
Red, red, gold and green them save!
Standing low, challenge the King for the thrown
We were, standing tall, waiting for Babylon to fall?
We cry tears of the Most High
Wondering why they couldnt love them
Who loved them. Yes I
Smile?Yes I, gather pon the hillside
Mourning for them who use to laugh, for they
They no longer see
They no longer have a faith
They no longer control us by a Judas lie, o-o-oh Jah
Jah-Jah-ah-u-a-u-ah (2x)
See the man a cry, upon them hillside and why?
They shall constantly seek
One of the sources of Life
Smile?Yes I, gather pon the hillside?
See dem, see dem, see dem,
See dem, see dem, see dem, see
These thoughts, gathered in m heart,
Gather in my heart, gathered in heart
No longer will they take a life they cannot do that
No longer will it beat only in the heart of you sir,
See it there, on the mountainside,
Where I come from, you cant do that
You cant do that
You cant do that
