There are lots of signs in life,
Some that you may not like.
You could be living this minute,
The next minute you are gone away.
Hold up your heads my brothers,
Be conscious my sisters.
And by your works you shall surely be paid, aahh!

Never try fi dis the man with the handle,
The one who's got the title.
The one who sits high and He looks down low, aay aah!
And if you ever dis the man with the handle,
The one who's got the title.
Then you will be someone that He don't know.

Say a prayer and chant the Psalms,
Prayer a day keep th evil calm.
You don't have to go to church,
Or be a Christian to call on Jah name.
Shout out the name Jehovah in the valleys.
Shout out the name Jehovah on the hills.
Shout out the name Jehovah on the plains.
Or even if it rains.
Call on the name, call on Jah name the same,
Call on the name, yea.

So never try to dis the man with the handle,
The one who's got the title.
The one who sits high and He looks down low, aay aah!
And if you ever dis the man with the handle,
The one who's got the title.
Then you will be someone that He don't know.

Hey, listen up, a now time fi stand up,
Time is short and life is precious.
Hey, listen up, a now time fi stand up,
Time is short and life is precious.
You've got to have the heart of a lion,
The children, to reach Mount Zion.
You can never be afraid, just call on His name.
Life is no game..
Life is no game, ey, ah, ah.

Never try fi dis the man with the handle,
The one who's got the title.
The one who sits high and He looks down low, aay aah!
And if you ever dis the man with the handle,
The one who's got the title.
Then you will be someone that He don't know.
