Africa must be free, South Africa
Blood fire Rastafari, Jah

Forward Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah children
Forward Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah children

The time has come when we all should sing unto Jah
Day after day the children of Zion tryin' to reach up to you
But they're stopping us with their guns and brutality
Oh Lord

Forward Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah children
Forward Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah children
Let's sing praises unto the most high Jah Rastafari

I and I, I Jah Rastafari, I and I, I Jah Rastafari
Woh, woh, woh, yes, yes, yes, yes, come on now, men

Can't ever be free in our own land
Can't ever be free in our own land
The wicked them turn it into battle ground

Can't ever be free in our own land
Can't ever be free in our own land
The wicked them turn it into battle ground

Can't even smoke our little ilie
Can't even smoke our little ilie
Let's sing praises unto Jah

I and I, I Jah Rastafari, I and I, I Jah Rastafari
Woh, woh, woh, yes, yes, yes, yes, come on now, men

Forward Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah children
Forward Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah children
Let's sing praises unto the most high Jah Rastafari

I and I, I Jah Rastafari, I and I, I Jah Rastafari
Woh, woh, woh, yes, yes, yes, yes

Ooh, now, now, now
I never know, never know
Ooh, I send forward Jah, Jah children
