One-Drop Redemption Groove

In the heart of Jamaica Where the sun kisses the sea Late 60s fire Born from the roots of the free Syncopated rhythms Of beat like a rebel's call Basslines dumping deep Echo to the island hall Sweet vibration Lifting spirits high Social justice singing Under us the far-eyed sky Spirituality flowing In the one drop beat so true Relaxation in the groove Like a rebel's call Where the soul finds its cue Jag guide the melody Horns blowing wild and free Reggae you're the rhythm of eternity From the shanties to the hills Where the ganja smoke curls Voices rise for the press Changing the whole world Skanking guitars dancing Org wailing soft and low Plumbing the bass Holding steady Letting the good vibes grow On reggae Sweet vibration Lifting spirits high Social justice singing Under us the far-eyed sky Spirituality flowing In the one drop beat so true Relaxation in the groove Where the soul finds its cue Jag guide the melody Horns blowing wild and free Reggae you're the rhythm of eternity Echoes in the dove E-verb like a prophet's dream Rebellious hearts united In the stream of the supreme Echols in the dove From Kingston's dusty streets To the global stage we roam Uplifting every nation Calling the wanderer home Themes of peace and power Moving in every line Rastafarian wisdom In the post divine No chains can hold the spirit When the offbeat starts to play Reggae's eternal fire Lighting up the darkest day On reggae Sweet vibration Lifting spirits high Social justice singing Under us the far-eyed sky Spirituality flowing In the one drop beat so true Relaxation in the groove Where the soul finds its cue Jag guide the melody Horns blowing wild and free Reggae you're the rhythm of eternity Echoes in the dove E-verb like a prophet's dream Rebellious hearts united In the stream of the supreme Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove Echols in the dove
