What a joy to hear the 
utterance of a Rasta (Repeat) 

Long long ago 
They use to say 
Rastafari going around 
taking little children away 
But now tlme is at hand 
I and I know those 
saying was wrong 
And that Rasta let them 
know their homeland 
And seek their culture 

What a joy to hear the 
utterance from a Rasta (Repeat) 

I and I was granted 
To drink from the fountain of life 
I God will make I hold tight 
I and I knee will not 
wabble I and I 
a V.I.P international 
And now they putting 
Rasta on the air 
Before that they used 
live in fear 

What a joy to hear the 
utterance of a Rasta (Repeat) 

There is a way that 
seemeth right to man 
And yet in Jah Jah sight it wrong 
It's not what you do is 
how you do it 
It's not what you say 
but how you say it 
You going be shot with shit 
Go down In It 

What a joy to hear the 
utterance from a Rasta (Repeat)
