Africa Awaits

Ay ay ay ay

Ay ay ay ay

Ay ay ay ay

Oh let us lift our eyes to the hills

From whence cometh our help yes I

And give us health and strength rastafari

In these challenging times I say

Never let I foot be moved

Show I to improve

Let the words of my mouth

And meditation be true

Cause Africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

Cause Africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad

So let peace be within thy walls

And prosperity in the palace

To every rebel with a past

Jah is watching over his prophet

So when your going out and coming in

Let jah protect you forever more

Oh yea oh yea

And just like the days of mighty king david

We trample with the Philippines

Defending our fates seems hard

Never let I foot be moved

On the battlefield can't lose

Let the evil know

The most high is carrying you through

Them think that I and I no sleep

And him no slumber

So the sunshine that smite I

No one fight I either

For jah is thy keeper

Strength and redeemer

Forever

Africa awaits it's creator

Those at home and abroad [x4]

So let peace be behind those bars

And prosperity in the palace

To every rebel with a past

Jah is watching over his prophet

Ay ay ay ay

Jah is watching over his prophet

Oh oh oh

Jah is watcing over his prophet
