Early morning cool, dew pon di ground

Breath of Jah rising, sweet humble sound

Likkle bird a call, message come around

Promise of di daylight, blessings soon found

Roots dig deep inna reddish soil

Every man a labor, woman work fo' di spoil

Hope rise gentle, after nuff turmoil

Sistah sing softly, ease we pain an' toil

Trodding pon di mountain, Jah pave mi way

Hold onto di blessing, nah let go

Roots run deep where di cool breeze blow
