[C] Little [Cm] children, please do not yearn.
In this trial and tribulation, [C] you must [Bb] get up and fight.

[C] [Bb]
[C] [Gm]
I will praise thee, [C] O Jah, with all my heart.
[Bbm] I will ever praise thee [C] continually.
[Bb]
[C] It [Bb] was the same faith who asked,
Why do the [C] heathen rage to the [Gm] people,
[Bb] Imagine vain [C] things.
[Gm] [Bb]
[C] It was the same false [Eb] kings that set [Bb] themselves
[C] and the false rulers [Bb] who come [C] together
against his [Bb] imperial majesty,
Emperor Haile [C] Selassie.
[Bb]
[C] So, the Yiddish times appointed [Bb] to reign on [C] earth is now.
[G] [Bb] Jah came to break [C] down oppression,
to set our united captive free,
[Gm] to drive away transgressors,
[C] and to rule [Bb] equality.
[Cm] [Gm] Equal [Bb] rights and [C] justice stands for I and I [Bb] all,
So [C] now to know that all those [G] that love his sake and freedom [C] must fall.
[Bb]
[C] The times are not pure and clean,
to rally around the red, [Bb] the gold, and the [C] green.
And the hearts of [Bbm] God should be pure and clean, as [C] I would say.
[Bb] To rally around [Cm] the throne of Mount [Gm] Sinai,
[Bb] which is [Cm] imperial majesty,
Emperor [Bb] Haile Selassie,
[Cm] I who did persecute the [Bb] days, I would say.
[C] Yeah.
[Bb] Almighty God [Cm] and King, as I would tell [C] you.

[C] that's, that's the revelation.
[G]
[C] Now listen, [Eb] folks.
