Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jah live, children, yeah
Jah Jah live, children, yeah
Jah live, children, yeah
Jah, Jah live, children, yeah
[Verse 2]
The truth is an offense
But not a sin
Is he who laugh last
Children, is he who win?
Is a foolish dog
Bark at a flying bird?
One sheep must learn
Children, to respect the shepherd
[Verse 3]
Jah live, children, yeah
Jah, Jah live, children, yeah
Jah live, children, yeah
Jah, Jah live, children, yeah
Jah
[Verse 4]
Fools say in their hearts
Rasta, your God is dead
But I and I know
Jah, Jah, dread it shall be dread, a dread
[Verse 5]
Jah live, children, yeah
Jah, Jah live, children, yeah
Jah live, children, yeah
Jah, Jah live, children, yeah
[Verse 6]
Let Jah arise
Now that the enemies are scattered
Let Jah arise
The enemies, the enemies are scattered
[Verse 7]
Jah live, children, yeah
Jah, Jah live, children
