It was written up in the book of life That man shall endure forever more It was written up in the book of life That man shall endure forever more
VERSE
Well did you know the pen Is stronger than the knife They can kill you once But they can't kill you twice Did you know destruction of the flesh Is not di ending to life Fear not of the anti-christ Did you know that I Exist before the earth And did you know my eyes Are window to the world Did you know you can't go ah Zion and ah wear jerry curls Can't tell di boys from di girls Your bodies just a vehicle Transporting the soul It's what's inside people Is beauty to behold Fear not of evil Every day dem flesh it grow old Changes of the times take a toll

CHORUS
VERSE
Watch for sticks and stones Stumbling blocks in piles Life is one big road Miles on top of miles So blessed be the soul That always remains a child And most people don't even smile There's a natural mystic Blowing in true the air So keep it realistic And always be aware The truth is crying out And it's so loud and so clear But most people won't even hear Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere And with so much confusion Can one be happy here The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share But some would rather to be so unfair
