RISE UP

Dedicated to Robert Nesta Marley

Rise now, stand proud and tall

forward and onward into battle

 

the priest says we are above heaven

but doesn't understand the value of life

 

He says the sparkling metal you saw,

may be silver, but he has not told you quite all

 

So now the light is within your sight

now is the time to stand and fight

 

prophecy tells of a master

that will come to us from above

 

curing all our ailments

and placing us all in a state of euphoria

 

Value your life and live everyday

then the light gets brighter

 

once again rise now stand proud and tall

forward and onward into battle

 

no longer will we be decieved and cheated

the master from above is human

 

Arise I say and follow me into battle once more

we will force them to understand us

 

a tribute to Robert nesta marley
