Fergueson/shaw and simpson - writers. arr/composer Carlton Ogilvie
People get ready cause time has come
repartriation is a must
Fret not yourself although time is so ruff
Jah is the master in whom i trust
Thats why we give Jah thanks and praise
and now we look for better days
Thats why we give Jah thanks and praise
and now we look for better days
Down in the ghetto time is so ruff
babylon system so unjust
False leaders be careful what you doing
cause time will tell on you
Thats why we give Jah thanks and praise
and now we look for better days
Thats why we give Jah thanks and praise
and now we look for better days
Hold Your head up High children
Hold Your head up High children
Open your heart and let jah Love come in
Mankind is Living in sin
Thats the way to go my son
until your days are done
Thats why we give Jah thanks and praise
and now we look for better days
Thats why we give Jah thanks and praise
and now we look for better days

we dont come here to to talk and preach like paul all we want is to save you all
Hey blackman you must understand
or we shall go down in babylon
So Many careless ethiopians shall fall in Babylon
How many more injustice shall prevail in babylon
Its been 2000 years ago
so the story has been told
How many will have to suffer
How many will have to die
dont ask me why
I hang down my head and cry, OH jAH
So Many careless ethiopians shall fall in Babylon
How many more injustice shall prevail in babylon
Its time we look towards the fathers land oh yeah
Where Iand I know we all belong
its time we stand up firm and strong
and move towards emancipation

But children take heed and hear my plea
Hold the fate for there will be a greater day
