My distant teacher Distant teacher Every song a lesson Every song a sign My distant teacher BOB MARLEY his name Educator his reign The world his class room With prophesies he came Monumental prophesies of what will remain. Buffalo soldier, Dread lock Rasta Taken from the homeland, to the heart of the carry-beyond My distant teacher taught me, to open my eyes and look within Are you satisfied with the life you are living? Rasta man live up, Rasta man don’t give up. Sun is shining, and the weather is sweet Makes you want to move, your dancing feet To the rescue, here H.I.M. come See them fighting for power But they know not the hour So they’re bribing, with their guns, spare parts, and money Trying to belittle our, integrity now Through political strategy, they keep us hungry And when you got to get some food Your brother got to be your enemy now Ambush in the night, but every thing’s gonna be alright They say the blood runs, and it runs through our lineage And our hearts, hearts of hearts divine But John say them coming, with the truth from an ancient time. Every man’s got the right, to decide his own destiny And in this judgement, there is no partiality So arm in arms, with arms, we will fight this little struggle Cause that’s the only way we can overcome this little trouble How good, and how pleasant it would be, before God and man To see the unification, of all Africans As it’s been said already, let it be done We are the children, under the sun. We are the children of the, higher one. They made their world so hard, everyday we got to keep on fighting They made their world so hard, everyday the people are dying From hunger and starvation Take of the veil from off your eyes, step into the future of realise Check out the real situation, we are coming in from the cold Emancipate yourself from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic energy, cause none a dem can stop JAH time How long shall they kill our prophets, while we stand aside and look Some say it’s just a part of it, we got to fulfil the book Won’t you help to sing, another song of freedom Cause all I ever have, REDEMTION SONGS But to the rescue, here H.I.M. come MY DISTANT TEACHER |
