(Intro - Jah Rastafari, give thanks and praises! - spoken with a deep voice)
(Verse 1)
Morning come, sun is shining bright,
Look around the world, still so much to put right.
Feet are walking, but the heart feel heavy,
Something is missing, from the soul they keep steady.
See the King dem up there, making rules for the people,
But forgetting the roots, forgetting the brethren, forgetting Rastafari.
Just one thing can soothe the troubled mind,
When the fire is blazing, peace is all we find.
(Chorus)
Oh, Herb of Peace, the Ganja so holy,
You grow upon the earth, to calm the melancholy.
Smoke rising high, carry the message of Jah,
Erase the hatred, leave only Love and One Heart.
One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright!
(Verse 2)
They call it crime, they say it is a sin,
But this plant is a blessing, wash away what's within.
Look at the oppression, look at the injustice,
Minds are imprisoned, by the system of the malice.
Time to wake up now, open your eyes and ears,
Ganja is not an escape, she is the bridge that clears.
To speak the truth, to feel the fraternity,
Fighting Babylon, with wisdom and humility.
(Chorus)
Oh, Herb of Peace, the Ganja so holy,
You grow upon the earth, to calm the melancholy.
Smoke rising high, carry the message of Jah,
Erase the hatred, leave only Love and One Heart.
One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright!
(Bridge)
Rastaman everywhere, hear this righteous call,
Don't be afraid to speak out, don't let your dream fall.
Let this smoke bear witness, to the sky and the ground,
We are all equal, where the sun is found.
Healing of the nation, that is what it's named to be,
A medicine from nature, for you and me to see.
(Guitar Solo - Relaxed and Echoing Reggae Melody)
(Chorus)
Oh, Herb of Peace, the Ganja so holy,
You grow upon the earth, to calm the melancholy.
Smoke rising high, carry the message of Jah,
Erase the hatred, leave only Love and One Heart.
One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright!
(Outro - Tempo slows down, only bass and drums remain)
Yeah! Ganja... The herb... The key...
Rastafari bless the herb...
Smoke it up, don't worry about a thing...
Every little thing gonna be alright!
(Fade out with the sound of smoke and laughter)
