Lyrics
[Verse 1] Iron Cold and heavy on the wrist
They try to twist the truth
With a silver tooth
They build
They bend
They break the poor man
Working under the sun
The day is done
[Chorus] Stand up and be counted
Stand up and be counted
Zion calling every son
Zion calling every son
Babylon is falling down
Falling down
Falling down
[Post-Chorus] Oh yeah
Roots rocking
Higher ground
[Verse 2] Wolves
Dressed in sheepish woolly clothes
Eating from the garden
Never asking pardon
Cold hearts
Hard hands
Empty promises
Walking on the wire
Close to the fire
I see
I know
I feel the spirit
Moving through the trees
Curing the disease
[Chorus] Stand up and be counted
Stand up and be counted
Zion calling every son
Zion calling every son
Babylon is falling down
Falling down
Falling down
[Post-Chorus] Fire burning
Riddim moving
Solid as a rock
[Bridge] No more chains
No more pain
No more rain
On the dry land
Truth is a shield
In the open field
We shall not be moved
No we shall not be moved
[Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Rise
Look them in the eye
Truth is the weapon
For the final lesson
One aim
One heart
One destiny
Brighter than the day
Paving the way
Walk tall
Speak loud
Sing the melody
From the mountain top
It will never stop
[Chorus] Stand up and be counted
Stand up and be counted
Zion calling every son
Zion calling every son
Babylon is falling down
Falling down
Falling down
[Outro] Keep the faith
Hold the line
Truth will prevail
In due time
Free the mind
Leave the dark behind
Zion bound
On solid ground
