Praise be to Haile Selassie I Raise me from Earth's ashes Sacrament to Jah, my soul sings Your son I praise him, Haile Selassie I
Garvey come and spread word, glorious words Freedom of a people, Zion land, it waits with love Praise be to Talaqu Meri, let his lands grow green His Imperial Majesty, walk with me
Empires dazzle eyes, black Empress at the steps Her robe draped with tender caress, love, Jah Prophet man sing, rasta man sing, we all love Jah In death Haile Selassie I looks over I and I, love Jah Over Babylon the skies rain freedom on Jah people
