*** LYRICS ***

Jah is my light
Jah is my strength

If I could be invisible like the wind,
Just to sit at the border of South Africa.
Just to see the misty move and the folly tricks
In human still remain the same.
From Jamaica to South Africa is our Motherland
of creation, sweet creation.

And if this place is not free, no where will be free.
You have seen this day by day.

All over the world a whole lot of sufferation and botheration with tribulation.
Revelation has now revealed and the wicked one has to feel it
As they go day by day

I know…
Jah is my light
Jah is my strength
Jah has the power
Jah is the trinity
