Grab on, brother! To the rock I said

Rastafari, he leads the way

and reggae is the music which sends a message

tells of history, the truth, and the right

leading the cause of the innocent ones

to come forth be afflicted and keep them from wrong

Let the aged be protected and the infant be strong yes oh yeah, yeah, yeah



Remeber reggae is the music which sends a message
