awakened from darkness
From the Voodoo of the wicked man

And the Third World began
When I mothers and I fathers forsake I
Then the Lord will take I up |

Teach I the
way, and lead I in the path
Because, I righteousness! |

27:11 - Teach me thy way, O
LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of
mine enemies. |
Righteousness

Righteousness the move in every man this day
Whether you may black, or whether you may be
white
Open up your eyes and you will see Jah light
Jah light shine brighter
Brighter than the morning star |

In the morning
them fresh and blooming
But in the evening them wither up and gone |
Psalm
90:5-6 - Thou carriest them
away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like grass which groweth up. In
the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in
the evening it is cut down, and withereth. |
And Africa
dreamed a dream
And behold the darkness spread the whole earth
And the new days of righteousness
Righteousness were given through the inspiration
of I Prince Far I
Righteousness, righteousness. . . |
