"The Youth" lyrics

Woah! Jah defenders

Some see it like a turning clock
Watching all the sunsets listening to my son talk
While others speak about the waisted time they've spent
Lost in superstition, forgetting the mission
My youth, my youth, my youth, I do remember
We're coming from the brightest flames
Down to a burning ember

All around!
The youth come like a candle light
You can see it all around

Children of the righteous, shinning, growing, beautiful
Some a visionary too, yea yea yea
Oh, I'm a visionary too, yea yea
No escaping, no judgement, no freedom
No shaking, no praising, no teacher, no preacher
No way!

Ehi!
Kouman bé n'fê ka fô iyè
Kouman bé n'fê ka fô iyè
Gbêrê nan, m'bénan tchihin fôh iyé
Now come out and join the show!

The sun shines bright on the youth dem well read
The youth dem well read, the youth dem well read
Oh thing seem fine on the youth who draw the line
The youth them draw the line, the youth them draw the line

Always, up against that phase
Calling out "hooray
Ain't nothing on earth ever gonna oppose them now

Woah! Jah defenders

Dôhou kônon ko dan bé touman nan
M'bé térébi flê la
M'bé n'toro mandin
N'dé tchê koumankan nan
N'dé! n'dé! n'dé! n'dé! n'dé!
Kanan gninan, kanan gninan
Ambôyôrô kôh
So let's all stand together!

All around
The youth them like a candle light
You can see it all around
It growing, it growing

The sun shines bright on the youth who well read
The youth them well read, the youth them well read
Oh, thing seem fine on the youth who draw the line
The youth them draw the line, the youth them draw a line

Always, up against that phase
Calling out "hooray"
Ain't nothing on earth ever gonna oppose him now
