Lyrics
Jah Live
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jah live, children, ye-ah!
Jah - Jah live, children, yeah!
Jah live, children, ye-ah!
Jah - Jah live, children, yeah!
The truth is an offence,
But not a sin.
Is he who laugh last,
Children, is he who win.
Is a foolish dog
Bark at a flying bird.
One sheep a-must learn, children,
To respect the shepherd.
Jah live, children, ye-ah!
Jah - Jah live, children, yeah!
Jah live, children, ye-ah-ah-ah!
Jah - Jah live, children, yeah! Jah!
Fools say in their heart,
"Rasta, your god is dead!"
But I'n'I know:
Jah - Jah Dread;
It shall be Dreader Dread.
Jah live, children, ye-ah!
Jah - Jah live, children, yeah!
Jah live, children, ye-ah!
Jah - Jah live, children, yeah!
Let Jah arise
Now that the enemies are scattered!
Let Jah arise:
The enemies - the enemies are scattered.
Jah live, children, ye-ah!
Jah - Jah live, ooh! - children, yeah!
Jah live, children, ye-ah!
Jah - Jah live, children, yeah!
