[Intro – spoken chant] (“Green fi di earth, yellow fi di light, red fi di sacrifice—colours of life!”) (One love, one heart) [Verse 1] Green—roots grow deep inna Zion ground, Herb heal di nation, wisdom spread round. Rivers feed di soil, keep life strong, Creation remind we where we belong. (Give thanks and praises) [Chorus – call & response] Green, yellow, red—truth inna di flag we wave, Spirit never dead—guidance fi di soul to save. (I and I, Jah live) [Verse 2] Yellow—sunshine crown pon Jah creation, Glow fi di youth, warmth fi di nation. Teachings of di prophets mek di pathway bright, Conscious elevation, fi live upright. (Jah light shine bright) [Chorus – call & response] Green, yellow, red—colours of a higher way, Hear what di ancients said—life is more dan clay. (One love, roots and culture) [Bridge – Raggamuffin chant] Red—blood of martyrs, courage inna fight, Struggle fi di freedom, keep di fire right. Sacrifice remind we—never lose di stand, Lion heart beat strong fi di promised land. (Chant down Babylon) (Zion awaits) [Chorus – extended] Green, yellow, red—harmony of Jah design, From di earth to sky, spirit ever shine. Green, yellow, red—chant it inna every street, Colours of Rastafari, keep di life complete. (Natty dread, ever sure) (Selassie I, ever living) [Outro – spoken + dub fade] (“Colours nah fade—dem eternal, dem vital. Green fi di healing, yellow fi di rising, red fi di courage. Rastafari live on!”) (Love is my religion)
