Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yes, me lion
Always look on the brighter side of life, you know?
No remorse
[Verse 2]
Now don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
We will have our ways one day, yeah
Don't you ever dirty 'cause a better you clean
Me love King Selassie plus Omega the Queen
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
[Verse 3]
'Cause I, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, no, we're gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, no, we're gonna make it, yeah
[Verse 4]
Searchin' for the light because you're living in the dark
You must realize that Jah was with you from the start
Glorify His words and please be helpful with your thoughts
Even though the ones who wish you well are few and far apart
People never thought that we would make it through so far
Speak of love, Jah children, and be proud of who you are
Keep on concentrating on the brighter side of life
Don't let them get you down
[Verse 5]
'Cause I, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, no, we're gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, no, Rasta children gonna make it, hey
[Verse 6]
If your brother weak, then you must help him if you're strong
Love him for the right and do not judge him for the wrong
If your sister lost, then you must help her find her way
She might just be the one to have to help you out someday
United we will stand up or divided we will fall
Love your one another, for the Father loves us all
Keep on concentrating on the brighter side of life
Don't let them get you down
[Verse 7]
'Cause I, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, sister love, we're gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, brother man, Rasta children gonna make it, huh
[Verse 8]
No, we will always share, no care how meager the meal
Always speak the truth, no care how ego will feel
I and I a root, no care what people believe
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
Seed that we will sow will multiply in the field
Some a speak the word and some are doin' good deed
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
[Verse 9]
'Cause I, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, sister love, Rasta children gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it (I know, ooh)
It's not too late, brother man, Rasta people are gonna make it
[Verse 10]
I know we'll make it (We're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it (We gonna make it)
I know we'll make it (We're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it (We gonna make it)
Rasta children gonna make it, Jah, Jah children gonna make it
(We're gonna make it)
Mankind is gonna make it, womankind is gonna make it
(We're gonna make it)
Human beings are gonna make it (We're gonna make it)
You and me, we're gonna make it (We gonna make it)
I know we'll make it (We're gonna make it)
I know we'll make it (We gonna make it)
