Jah children wake up
And stop walk in your sleep
Lift your heads up
It's no time to take defeat
If we knock and it no open
We shall surely push it ova
Only Jah will let it be done
We shall surely push it ova

Where is the love
They sing about so much
Everyday it's the same old chorus
They say it with their mouth
But there is a conflict in their heart
Sum'n no add up, a revolution gwine start

Jah children wake up
And stop walk in your sleep
Lift your heads up
It's no time to take defeat
If we knock and it no open
We shall surely push it ova
Only Jah will let it be done
We shall surely push it ova

Let dem say, say what they wanna say
Did they hear the people cry?
Or feel di pain we bear
You betrayed us when yuh say
Say that you care
You waan convince us with your lies
So please go the other way

Jah children wake up
And stop walk in your sleep
Lift your heads up
It's no time to take defeat

Dem no fascinate wi
Dem cyaa doctrinate wi
We got di right to choose
Our own destiny yea
Jah, jah, a defend wi
And dem no haffi friend wi
Cause wi no come fi loose
Rastafari give us di victory

Jah children wake up
And stop walk in your sleep
Lift your heads up
It's no time to take defeat
If we knock and it no open
We shall surely push it ova
Only Jah will let it be done
We shall surely push it ova
