Lyrics

Intro

Horns call out from Babylon yard

Trumpet sound sweet, blessing not hard

Sax melody rise like morning star

Jah children gather from near and far

Verse 1

Inna di morning when di rooster crow

Feel di spirit start to grow

Trombone humble, saxophone bold

Ancient wisdom, stories told

From di ghetto to di promised land

Jah works through every willing hand

Dub foundation shake di ground

Roots and culture, righteous sound

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Steady like a river flow

Oh oh oh oh

Rastafari know

Verse 2

Iron horn a blow, spirit a grow

Trombone and trumpet, make di vibes flow

Sax sing a call in di early morn

Jah sun rise and a new day born

Roots hold firm through di heavy storm

Stand tall, no fear, we transform

Pre-Chorus

Every likkle step carry forward, yes I

From the rockstone street to the mountain high

Unity strong like a drum, keep it wise

Praise Jah Jah, look to the sky

Chorus

Rise up and walk inna di blessing

From Kingston town to de hills we progressing

Jah light guide we every session

Inna roots style we find di lesson

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Steady like a river flow

Bridge

Fire still a blaze inna ancient ways

Drum and bass turn trouble to praise

Sax and horn reign sweet on the breeze

Jah children moving, we live in peace

Chorus

Rise up and walk inna di blessing

From Kingston town to de hills we progressing

Jah light guide we every session

Inna roots style we find di lesson

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Steady like a river flow

Oh oh oh oh

Rastafari know

Roots run deep, carry we far

From ancient drum to this reggae star

Horn blow blessing, chant from the heart

Jah guide the way, we play we part

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Steady like a river flow

Oh oh oh oh

Jah love we know
