One Drop Dawn

In the sun baked hills of Jamaica's heart Late 60's fire where the struggle starts Syncopated beats on the offbeat rhyme Bass lines thumping like the ocean tide From Kingston streets to the world beyond A rhythm born in the people's soul Echoes of pain in every chord we strung Rasta roots digging deep where freedom comes Oh reggae, sweet reggae, lift your voice high Social justice calling under the sky Spirituality flowing like the river wide Relax in the groove, let your soul abide One drop, one heart and the islands call From an abyss it conquers all Rebellious fire yet peaceful and true Reggae forever, me Horns wailing truth to the dub reverb Skanking guitar makes the spirit swerve Dreams of the oppressed rising from the dust In every lyric, a Rasta man's trust No chains can hold this uplifting sound From roots to the dance, solid sacred ground Relaxation, whispers in the warm night air Healing the wounds that the world can't bear Jagai the one drop in the temple of sound Caribbean soul where the lost are found Social commentary in every delay Echoes of Zion, lighten the way No more Babylon's heavy oath Reggae's the key to the heart city hope Oh reggae sweet reggae lift your voice high Social justice calling under the sky Spirituality flowing like the river wide Relax in the groove, let your soul abide One drop, one heart and the islands call From an abyss it conquers all Rebellious fire yet peaceful and true Reggae forever, me www.youtube.com or www.youtube.com or www.youtube.com or www.youtube.com
