[Verse 1]
CmFrom the first Bbmoment I opened my Fmeyes, I knew I had a dD#estiny to reBbalize
CmCause we are all one pBbeople, one creature, one Fmsky, and it is not our fD#ate that we should Gmbe divided
CmAnd dead soon we aBbll will be if Fmwe can't figure out a way to lD#ive in pBbeace and harmony
CmThe path is ours Bbto choose, we got Fmso much to gain, we goD#t even more tGmo lose
CmThe world is cBbhanging, everyone Fmknows Forest are dying wD#hile humanity growsBb  
CmAnd why do we fBbeel like we don't havFme a say? In the fate and thD#e future of our world todGmay
CmCorporate poliBbticians, hung up on puppeFmt strings, making bad decD#isions for all Bbof us
CmWith so much under cBbover, its only in each Fmother that we can put our D#trustGm  
[Chorus]
CmFarmers Bbplant your corn and Fmtrailblazers D#trod it onGm, we Cmall must Bbface the dawFmn togetheD#rBb  
CmSingers Bbsing your songs, Fmcause I know it D#won't be longGm, 
Cmthis world will die but Bbthe spirit is fFmoreverD#  Gm

DmMarching forwarD#d, through the neverGm, past returniD#ng,beyond forever, Dm  
now reborn, aD#gain we borrGmow these hearts and hands through our D#joy and ouEr sorrow
AnCmd we burn the Bbfyah, CmRastaman bBburn the fGmyah

CmCause if into the fBbuture we all could Fmsee, we'd probD#ably do thBbings a little differently

[Verse 1]

Cm Bb Fm D# Bb

From the first moment I opened my eyes, I knew I had a destiny to realize

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

Cause we are all one people, one creature, one sky, and it is not our fate that we should be divided

Cm Bb Fm D# Bb

And dead soon we all will be if we can't figure out a way to live in peace and harmony

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

The path is ours to choose, we got so much to gain, we got even more to lose

Cm Bb Fm D# Bb

The world is changing, everyone knows Forest are dying while humanity grows

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

And why do we feel like we don't have a say? In the fate and the future of our world today

Cm Bb Fm D# Bb

Corporate politicians, hung up on puppet strings, making bad decisions for all of us

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

With so much under cover, its only in each other that we can put our trust

[Chorus]

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm Cm Bb Fm D# Bb

Farmers plant your corn and trailblazers trod it on, we all must face the dawn together

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

Singers sing your songs, cause I know it won't be long,

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

this world will die but the spirit is forever

[Bridge]

Dm D# Gm D# Dm

Marching forward, through the never, past returning,beyond forever,

And we burn the fyah, Rastaman burn the fyah

[Chorus]

Farmers plant your corn and trailblazers trod it on, we all must face the dawn together

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

Singers sing your songs, cause I know it won't be long,

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

this world will die but the spirit is forever

[Verse 2]

Cm Bb Fm D# Bb

Cause if into the future we all could see, we'd probably do things a little differently

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

At least I hope we would have the sense to see the futility of all this violence

Cm Bb Fm D# Bb

Now we're seeing the damage we've done, we're becoming prisoners of our own sun,

Cm Bb Fm D# Gm

and if we are going to survive in these times, we got to leave the past behind

[Bridge]

Dm D# Gm D#

Dust to dust and ashes to ashes, our past is future,

Dm D# Gm D# E
