Echoes of Irie Justice

In the sun-baked hills of Jamaica's heart Late 60s fire where the struggle starts Voices rise like the morning tide Rhythms born from the people's pride From Kingston streets to the rural green A sound awakens fierce and serene Echoes of chains that the ancestors broke In every beat the old wound spoke Oh reggae soul with your bassline deep Syncopated dreams that never sleep Social fire, spiritual rain Relax in the groove, wash away the pain Rasta for a light in the offbeat sway Justice calls on this rebel day One drop of truth in the island breeze Lift us higher, set our spirits free Skanking guitars cut through the humid air One drop drums like a whispered prayer Horns that cry for the lost and the meek Organ waves rolling over the weak Prominent bass, the heartbeat strong Carousel of the wind, the wind of the wind Stories the way where the righteous belong The beckons fade into the night Healing the scars in the pale moonlight Oh reggae soul with your bassline deep Syncopated dreams that never sleep Social fire, spiritual rain Relax in the groove, wash away the pain Rasta for a light in the offbeat sway Justice calls on this rebel day One drop of truth in the island breeze Lift us higher, set our spirits free From the roots that run through the red earth soil To the global call of the conscious toil Rebellious hearts in a relaxing brace Uplifting vibes in this sacred space No more silence, let the music grow For the oppressed we open the door In every chord the revolution sings Eternal rhythm on freedom's wings Oh reggae soul with your bassline deep Syncopated dreams that never sleep Social fire, spiritual rain Relax in the groove, wash away the pain Rasta for a light in the offbeat sway Justice calls on this rebel day One drop of truth in the island breeze Lift us higher, set our spirits free Relax in the groove, wash away the pain Rebellious hearts in a relaxing brace Rasta for a light in the offbeat sway Rasta for a light in the offbeat sway Syncopated dreams that never sleep Justice calls on this rebel day Relax in the groove, wash away the pain Rasta for a light in the offbeat sway Rasta for a light in the offbeat sway
