Africa Awaits - Tarrus Riley

Ay ay ay ay

Ay ay ay ay

Ay ay ay ay

Come let us lift our eyes to the hills

From whence cometh our help yes I

And give us health and strength rastafari

In these challenging times I say

Never let I foot be moved show I to improve

Let the words of my mouth

And meditation be true

'Cause africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

'Cause africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

So let peace be within thy walls

And prosperity in the palace

To every rebel with a cause

Jah is watching over his prophet

So when your going out and coming in

Let jah protect you forever more

Oh yeah oh yeah

And just like the days of mighty king david

We trample with the philippines

Defending our fates seems hard

Never let I foot be moved

On the battlefield can't lose

Let the heathen know

The most high is carrying you through

And africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

Africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

So let peace be within thy walls

And prosperity in the palace

To every rebel with a cause

Jah is watching over his prophet

Them think that I and I no sleep

And him no slumber

So the sun shall not smite I

No one fight I either

For jah is thy keeper

Strength and redeemer forever

Good over evil from that time to this time you

Know

One heart one love to everyone

'Cause africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

Africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

Africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

Africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

So let peace be behind those bars

And prosperity in the palace

To every rebel with a cause

Jah is watching over his prophet

Ay ay ay ay

Jah is watching over his prophet

Ooh ooh

Jah is watching over his prophet
