Down upon our souls we will ride And it serves you right to build your kingdom in the sky I man na lie, what a lullaby you sing to a young man so Man down, way down, down upon our head and his soul It was just a thought in the air, like something planted in the atmosphere, my dear Oh my suffer loss is real Oh why, why, why must we be shackled on ya We were treated like a number and talked to like a fool You better ascend before you're gone for so long And the wind blow I man got to carry the soul of the waterfall We're still so powerful my friends, you have got nothing to fear, nuclear Oh the mighty stone building across them land But the higher they build man try to fly over world Man breaking their heart and so taking their head as them goal, man I pray Still dey man champion so I, I, I, ring a man bone But they throw rock, rock, rock, rock, rock stone Jah messenger down Oh man erase them with wit and anger, like it was a joke, that that man say Oh my suffer loss is real... What a rocky man road... But we shall embrace our souls against them I mean don't let another day, go by... Down upon our souls we will ride
