Verse 1

Early morning sun peek over the peak

Mountain mist kiss me on me cheek

Water fly from the river side

Watching all the little birds glide

Walking 'pon the soil with me bare feet

Far away from the noise 'pon the street

Living Ital me a live so me strong

Me chanting a psalm all the whole day long

Chorus

Give thanks and praises to Jah Rastafari

For the green hills and the bright blue sky

One love we a spread throughout the land

With peace and unity for every man

Natural vibes inna the cool mountain breeze

Finding a rest under the cedar trees

Verse 2

Herbs inna the garden a flourish and grow

Sow a good seed and a blessing you show

Me eat from the branch and me drink from the spring

True joy is the message me bring

Love inna me heart for me family

Rasta man living inna harmony

We no want the riches of the city life

Me avoid the anger and the strife

Pre-Chorus

Fire bun hypocrisy

Living inna honesty

Roots and our heritage

True life is a privilege

(Deejay Toast)

Yes man

Hear me now

From the morning light until the evening dim

Rasta keep a focus only on Him

The hills are me temple the Earth is the floor

We nah knock upon the Babylon door

No greed

No pride

No place for them to hide

We walk with the wisdom and truth as the guide

Selassie I lead the way

Verse 3

African roots deep inside of the bone

Mind stay free inna this higher zone

Brothers and sisters we gather as one

Beneath the golden light of the sun

Meditation deep inna the quietude

Always keeping a grateful attitude

Strength from the hills keep me standing tall

Rasta man never going to fall

Chorus

Finding a rest under the cedar trees
