Dm Am Em C Bm C

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

Dm Am Em C Bm C

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

Dm Am Em C Bm C

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

Dm Am Em C Bm C

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

Dm Am Em C Bm C

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

Dm Am Em C Bm C

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…

Dm Am Em C Bm C

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
