Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Jah give I courage to fight the fight

I know they might try to conquer I, Lord above

Guide I by day and watch I by night, Lord

I pray You'll restore Your people's sight, Lord

Jah give I courage to fight, oh, said, fight the fight

I know they might try to conquer I, Lord above

(Conquer I)

Guide I by day and watch I by night, Lord

I know You'll restore Your people's sight, Lord

[Verse 2]

I man cryin' for peace and justice

I man rather to die than to kneel

I see oppressors sittin' on their thrones

Tryin' to dictate the price of my soul

[Verse 3]

Oh, Jah give I courage to fight the fight

(Oh, say, fight the fight)

I know they might try to conquer I

(Conquer I)

Whoa, guide I by day and watch I by night

(By day or by night)

I pray You'll restore Your people's sight, Lord

(Lord, be goin' blind, we gone blind)

[Verse 4]

Through soul and conscience

Fire burns within (Fire burns, fire burns within)

Light inspires change

I won't fall victim (Won't fall victim, whoa)

[Verse 5]

Jah give I courage to fight the fight, ooh, said fight the fight

(We gonna fight, gon' fight the fight)

I know they might try to conquer I (They try, they try)

(We gonna fight, gon' fight the fight)

Well, guide I by day and watch I by night

(We gonna fight, gon' fight the fight)

I pray You'll restore Your people's sight, Lord

(We gonna fight, gon' fight the fight)

[Verse 6]

Natty got to be firm and strong in this time of hatred and greed

Selfishness at its highest, Jah, but my soul will never be sold

Jah love stronger than any weapon, bad intention and scheme

(Jah love stronger, just watch and see)

Me people, they lost love for ourself

And don't know how to proceed (Don't overstep to win it all)

[Verse 7]

Oh, Jah give I courage to fight the fight

(Oh, say, fight the fight)

I know they might try to conquer I

(Conquer I, said, conquer I)

Well, guide I by day and watch I by night, Lord

(By day or by night)

I pray You'll restore Your people's sight, oh, Lord

(Walk it on by, it on by)

Jah give I courage to fight the fight

(We gonna fight, gon' fight the fight)

I know they might try to conquer I, conquer I, I said, conquer I

(We gonna fight, gon' fight the fight)

Well, guide I by day and watch I by night

(By day or by night)

Oh, I pray You'll restore Your people's sight, Lord

[Verse 8]

Oh, conquer I

Oh, conquer I

Oh, conquer I

Don't let them conquer I

Don't let them conquer I

Don't let them conquer I

Oh, conquer I

They am rolling stone
