"Lift Mine Eyes" lyrics

Is a burning fire!
Rastafari live!
Hey!
Haile Selassie set up the sanitary in every family, and bringeth out those who are bound in chains
Yeh mon! the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah Haile Selassie, is the almighty name

The name of Rastafari is so very great
Always remember say a love conquer hate
The name of Rastafari is so very great
Kalonji seh! poor people keep the faith, hey!

Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill, woahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hill
And I know that Rastafari live yeahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hill
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill, woahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hill
And I know that black people must live

I never get weak and I never goin' stop
Until I see it Rome burn down flat
I never get weary and I never goin' stop
Until dem love the poor and have not

And from Zion to earth, tell dem seh Emperor Selassie I the 1st
Tell dem seh fi righteousness dem fi search
Tell dem seh! stop move blood thirst
Young man! don't mek the young woman flirt
Mt. Zion a call so wear you tall skirt
Rasta give dem the blessing and Babylon curse
You wouldn't kill youth if you know what life worth
Long time! the youth dem hunger and thirst
Cyaan win nuh war if food nuh plant in a dirt
But the Babylon bwoy dem try fi mek things worst
That's why the Armagedeon it a go burst
Rasta rule the earth

I never get weak and I never goin' stop
Until I see it Rome burn down flat
I never get weak and I never goin' stop
Until I see it love the poor and have not

Ahh ah ah yay!

I know that someday the people will defend their own
And if the people should fight for equal rights and justice you should leave them alone, ahhh!
They've been treating the people so greedy inna the country and town
Cuyah now! black woman go use cleanliness and find dem guilty and dem judgment pronounce
Get up and stand up with your words and sound, dem face coulda long up the truth must be known
Repatriation Vatican affi go down, hail Rastafari pon the throne, oh!

Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill, woahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hill
And I know that King Selassie I live, yahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hill
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill, hey yeh yeh yeah!
Lift mine eyes to the hill
And I know that King Emmanuel live

I never get weak and I never goin' stop
Until I see it Rome burn down flat
I never get weary and I never goin' stop
Rastafari love the poor and have not
Ohh!

Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill, woahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hill
And I know that ghetto people affi live, yeahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hills
Where the sun burn red and the wind blow chill, woahhh!
Lift mine eyes to the hill, woahhh!
Poor people dem fi stop kill

Yow dem affi! shut up or tan quiet

Trod with King Selassie cause him never yet tired
Babylon nuh truthful me see seh dem a liar
Brag bout dem brave but me know seh dem a coward

Brag bout dem brave but me know seh dem a coward
Babylon the riches in the earth it is ours
Babylon the wicked man must get devour, yowww!
They never know yet the hour, woahhh!

Lift mine eyes to the hill
And poor people rise Babylon a get be still
Lift mine eyes to the hill, eh aya aya ayyy!

Repatriation unto the black nation

I never get weak and I never goin' stop
Until I see it Rome burn down flat

Sizzla put poor people pon the top

I burn the marijuana and I burn them to ash
