[feat. Stephen Marley, Capleton & Drag-On]



CHORUS (Stephen Marley)



It was written up in the book of life

That man shall endure forever more

It was written up in the book of life

That man shall endure forever more



VERSE



Well did you know the pen

Is stronger than the knife

They can kill you once

But they canÃÆ'•t kill you twice

Did you know destruction of the flesh

Is not di ending to life

Fear not of the anti-christ

Did you know that I

Exist before the earth

And did you know my eyes

Are window to the world

Did you know you can't go ah Zion

and ah wear jerry curls

Can't tell di boys from di girls

Your bodies just a vehicle

Transporting the soul

It's what's inside people

Is beauty to behold

Fear not of evil

Every day dem flesh it grow old

Changes of the times take a toll



CHORUS



VERSE (Capleton)



BRIDGE



A vester on his chest

And Rastafari is his name

A gift of everlasting life

For us to all sustain

Blessing that you all be got

Lessons taught you all forgot

Rasta call I shit you not

Do you remember Elijah

And his chariot of flames

Same blood dat run thru my veins



VERSE (Capleton)



CHORUS



VERSE (Drag-On)



Watch for sticks and stones

Stumbling blocks in piles

Life is one big road

Miles on top of miles

So blessed be the soul

That always remains a child

And most people don't even smile

There's a natural mystic

Blowing in true the air

So keep it realistic

And always be aware

The truth is crying out

And itÃÆ'•s so loud and so clear

But most people won't even hear

Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere

And with so much confusion

Can one be happy here

The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share

But some would rather to be so unfair



CHORUS
