Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro) (Langsame Perkussion, Stimmen flüstern "Zion... Zion...") Yeah... Roots Rock Reggae music! From the heart of Babylon to the mountains of Ethiopia. Rastafari! (Strophe 1) Old pirates, yes they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships Years of chains, across the sea But the spirit never lost its grip In the concrete jungle of the West We sang the songs of sorrow, put to the test By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept When we remembered Zion, the promise we kept. (Refrain) Oh, Zion, Africa, land of the rising sun We’re marching on, the battle is won Back to the roots, where we belong Reggae music playing, so strong, so strong! Zion gate is open, hear the chantin’ Jah Jah children, we’re marchin’! (Strophe 2) Marcus Garvey saw the vision bright "Look to Africa", he said, "for the black King’s light" 1930, Selassie I on the throne The Lion of Judah, reclaiming his own From Jamaica’s shores to Addis Ababa’s hills Repatriation, it’s the truth that heals No more chains, no more mental slavery Forward with love, forward with bravery! (Refrain) Oh, Zion, Africa, land of the rising sun We’re marching on, the battle is won Back to the roots, where we belong Reggae music playing, so strong, so strong! Zion gate is open, hear the chantin’ Jah Jah children, we’re marchin’! (Bridge - Dub Version Style) (Bass und Drums dominieren, Echo-Effekte) Hear the dread! (Echo) Moving out of Babylon! (Echo) One Love, One Aim, One Destiny! Nyabinghi drums pounding! (Trommel-Wirbel) Zion, Zion, Zion! (Strophe 3) Roots Rock Reggae is the voice of the King It makes the heart of the people sing It tells the story of where we come from And shows the way to the righteous home No matter what Babylon may try to do The truth of Zion is waiting for you. (Refrain) Oh, Zion, Africa, land of the rising sun We’re marching on, the battle is won Back to the roots, where we belong Reggae music playing, so strong, so strong! Zion gate is open, hear the chantin’ Jah Jah children, we’re marchin’! (Outro) Fly away home to Zion... Fly away home... Fade out (Roots Reggae Music...) (Haile Selassie I...) (Zion...)
