[Verse 1] Walking down the dusty road of tribulation Searching for a spark inna this dark foundation The concrete jungle tries to steal your soul away But the sun still rises at the breaking of the day. I hear the elders whispering beneath the mango tree Telling stories of a land where every man is free. [Chorus] It’s an ancient rhythm beating inna my chest Inna this world of chaos, find a place to rest From the mountains of Zion to the valley below Let the seeds of righteousness begin to grow. Roots... deep down inna the earth Roots... know what your life is worth. [Verse 2] Babylon build walls, but the music builds a bridge Truth is shining brighter from the highest mountain ridge No silver, no gold can buy the peace of mind Leave the bitterness and vanity far behind. The lion doesn’t roar just to show his might He roars to wake the sleepers in the middle of the night. [Bridge] (Dub section: heavy echo on the drums and vocals) Fire... (Fire...) Burning out the greed. Water... (Water...) Giving what we need. Don't let your spirit drift away like smoke Break the chains and break the heavy yoke. [Chorus] It’s an ancient rhythm beating inna my chest Inna this world of chaos, find a place to rest From the mountains of Zion to the valley below Let the seeds of righteousness begin to grow. [Outro] Keep it roots. Don't forget your culture. Keep the fire burning... (Fade out with melodic bass and percussion)
