One Drop Redemption

A Jamaica Where the sun kisses the sea Late 60s rising A rhythm set free From the streets of Kingston A sound born to heal The echoes whispering truths to the skies Oh reggae sweet reggae Carry me home To the fire of justice Where the lost spirits roll Spiritually flowing In every chord we strum Relaxing the rhythm Let the poet succumb Rastamon rising Relaxing the rising One love in the air Reggae forever Forever Beyond all this fear Poverting baits Walking on parts of the fleet So chains breaking In the one drop decree Guitars skanking lightly Horns blowing the fight Against the oppression That steals away light From the hills of the blue mountains To the world far and wide A message of peace In the tide of the tide Oh reggae sweet reggae Carry me home To the fire of justice Where the lost spirits roll Spiritually flowing In every chord we strum Relaxing the rhythm Let the poet succumb Rastamon rising Relaxing the rising One love in the air Reggae forever Beyond all this fear Feeling the echoes Reverbing the soul Delay on the dreams That make broken hearts whole Oblifting dreams Rebellion Relaxed in the groove Caribbean roots Where the faithful improve No more silence Let the voices unite In this eternal song We claim back the night Oh reggae Let the voices you hold In this eternal song We claim back the night We claim back the night Oh reggae Yeah carry me home To the fire of justice Where the lost spirits roll Reggae Beyond all this fear Reggae wrote right in One love In the air Reggae forever Beyond all this fear Reggae forever Let the poet succumb Relaxing the rhythm Relaxing the soul Let the poet Let the poet Let the poet Let the poet Let the poet let the poet
