Lyrics
Intro
Yo
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly
From the peaks of the Blue Mountain
True spiritual heights
Greetings in the name of the Most High
Jah Rastafari
Give thanks and praises
Verse 1
Early morning sun peek over the hill
Dewdrop wash the leaf and everything still
Mist a rise up from the valley so deep
I wake from a long and a peaceful sleep
Tricolon I rise, I pray, I trod the land
Staff of life firm within a my hand
Birds them a chant a melodic tune
Far away from the hustle under the moon
Pre-Chorus
Smell the peppermint in the cool breeze
Herb a grow tall beneath the cedar trees
Sweet river water wash my weary feet
I find a joy that make my life complete
Chorus
Give thanks and praises to the King of Kings
For the life and the breath and the love he brings
Mountain air so fresh and the vibes so clean
Living in a world that is evergreen
Give thanks
Give thanks
Verse 2
Planting up the yam and the coco too
Living ital way like the ancients do
Salt-free pot boiling on the wood fire
Spiritual wisdom is my heart desire
Fire bun the system of greed and shame
But we never call a brother out of his name
Freedom of the mind is the greatest wealth
Pure natural livity for the spirit health
Pre-Chorus
Smell the peppermint in the cool breeze
Herb a grow tall beneath the cedar trees
Sweet river water wash my weary feet
I find a joy that make my life complete
Chorus
Give thanks and praises to the King of Kings
For the life and the breath and the love he brings
Mountain air so fresh and the vibes so clean
Living in a world that is evergreen
Give thanks
Give thanks
Bridge
Africa in my soul, Zion in my sight
Guiding my footsteps through the darkest night
Lion of Judah break every chain
Sunshine falling right after the rain
One love, one heart, let us all be free
Togetherness for the whole community
Verse 3
Rasta man vibe a vibrate the ground
Love is the only authentic sound
Babylon pressure it can't reach this high
Not while the eagle a soar in the sky
Taught by the elders to stand up brave
No more shall we live like a mental slave
Chorus
Give thanks and praises to the King of Kings
For the life and the breath and the love he brings
Mountain air so fresh and the vibes so clean
Living in a world that is evergreen
Give thanks
Give thanks (Give thanks)
Outro
High in the hills
Peace and unity
Selassie I
Natural livity
Jah live
Jah live
Blessed morning
Blessed love
