Gather 'round Jah children
And give Jah Jah the glory
For I-tection from thy enemies
Seeking not into vanity
Keep our minds filled with purity, so
Is it too late to love your brother man?
To come to the ghetto's
And to share a piece a bread
Then oh, it get so rough out a road
It dread, Rastaman we dread okay

He who shy away, see their fate come Judgement day
Who nah love well Jah Jah say
Shall surely be melted away
So instead of fighting war, give Jah Jah the glory
And pray for peace for all humanity
Only Jah Jah a go conquer
Let's stand firm in Jah victory
Shanti-Ites we sing

I-ly I-ly I-ly-I, I-ly-I
I and I a follow up the road to Zion
I-ly I-ly I-ly-I, I-ly-I
I and I a seek out Jah Kingdom

Gather' round Jah children
And give Jah Jah the glory
Strengthen thy minds from anything un-holy
Walk not unto the council of the un-godly
Goodness comes from your livity

Blessed is the man who will show in mercy
For all the humble of the land
Blessed is he who will show in mercy
For all of Jah creation

True, Jah is our light and our salvation
So who shall I fear?
Jah Jah is I light and I salvation
So who shall I fear?
Shanti-Ites we sing

I-ly I-ly I-ly-I, I-ly-I
I and I a follow up the road to Zion
I-ly I-ly I-ly-I, I-ly-I
I and I a seek out Jah Kingdom

I-ly I-ly I-ly-I, I-ly-I
I and I a follow up the road to Zion
I-ly I-ly I-ly-I, I-ly-I
I and I a seek out Jah Kingdom

Oh, Lord
