Jah Jah is my inspiration
So I got a message for Jah children

Back in 1963, Haile Selassie arrived in New York City
He had a message for creation
So he spoke before the United Nations
The words were put into a song
Everywhere is war and more war it still rages on
We still wait for the solution
Equal rights and justice not owned by every man, so ah

You have to see things like Rastafari, hey, ooh yes
Only judge a man by how he lives and what he gives
I say, you have to see the world like Rastafari does, yes
Cannot separate no black from white, no way

If you see a man walkin' down the street tonight
So cold and hungry
You should stop yourself give him what you got to give
No matter how small
And if you see a child lookin' destitute and lonely
No sense of direction
You should see yourself as the one to lift him up
One of Jah children, because

You have to see things like Rastafari, hey
Only judge a man by how he lives and what he gives
Jah say, you have to see the world like Rastafari does, yes
Cannot separate no black from white, no way, never

(..)

Oh yeah, you gotta stop runnin', runnin', runnin' from yourself
Gotta stop runnin', runnin', runnin' from your problems
Say you stop runnin', runnin', runnin' from yourself
Stop passin' that man in need
Remember it's Jah hand that feed, because

You have to see things like Rastafari, hey
Only judge a man by how he lives and what he gives
Jah Jah, you have to see the world like Rastafari does, yeah
Cannot separate no black from white, hey, one more time

You have to see things like Rastafari, hey, yes I
Only judge a man by how he lives and what he gives
You have to see the world like Rastafari does, yeah
Cannot separate no black from white, come with me, yeah

Oh yeah.. Jah Jah, Jah Jah is my inspiration
Jah Jah, Jah Jah is my inspiration
Jah Jah, Jah Jah forever loving Jah
Jah Jah, Jah Jah, yeah, yes
