Lyrics
In the heat of Kingston town, late 60s fire rhythms Rising like the sun over Blue Mountain High Syncopated heartbeats, off-beats, kank so true Basslines thumping deep, calling souls anew From the streets of Trenchtown where the struggles reel Voices rise in harmony, bending what they feel Oh, reggae, sweet vibration, carry me home Social justice, echo in the dub and chrome We let the worries subside Cross the road, red, gold, green And every line we subsane Cross the road, red, gold, green And every line we forever Let the freedom reign One drop drumming steady, horns blowing proud and bold Organ bubbles bubbling, stories yet untold Rebellious whispers against the chains that bind Uplifting a weary peace we long to find From Rastafari roots in the ganja smoke We break Caribbean breeze, whispering hope today Oh, reggae, sweet vibration, carry me home Social justice, echo in the dub and chrome We let the worries subside Cross the road, red, gold, green And every line we sing Reggae forever, reggae for forever Let the freedom reign Feel the echo, a reverb delay in the light Roots running deep, turning wrong to right Love the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm No more power will unfold in this positive sway Dance our dreams awake and light the righteous way Oh, reggae, sweet vibration, carry me home Social justice, echo in the dub and some praise The worries subside Cross the road, red, gold, green And every line we sing Reggae forever, reggae for forever Let the freedom reign Yeah, reggae, carry me home Forever Let the freedom reign
