djahmun - Ngāti rise again

Lyrics

[INTRO] The Fear... is givin’ up … I and I knows… Jaaaah knows … Straight jah… Jah... Rastafari ... [VERSE 1] They try to pull we down, But we been fightin’ far too long now, No more chains, No more holdin’ we down now. Forget what they say, That was yesterday, Cleanse your soul, Let Jah guide your way. So many lost hearts, Still searchin’ to be found, But still we rise strong, While Babylon falls down... [PRE-CHORUS] Voices rising, Like thunder in the sky, No more silence, Now the truth can’t hide. [CHORUS] Rise up now, Children of Jah, Through the fire and the pain, Still we know who we are. One love strong, No matter how hard, Babylon can’t stop The light within our hearts.... [VERSE 2] Roots grow stronger,Like the pōhutukawa tree,Branches through generations,Deep inside of me. From Hikurangi maunga,To the eastern sea,No one can eraseThe blood Jah gave to me. Oh Jah, Jah, Jah,Guide the path I walk now,Through the storm,Keep the sacred fire hot now. I and I dreadlocks,Never fear the wicked talk,Stay far from Babylon,Don’t let corruption steal your heart. [BRIDGE] Cause we are Ngāti…Native bushman from creation,Children of the whenua,Raised through generations. Straight from Jah light,Far beyond oppression,You tried to break we down,Still can’t break the connection. Te awa.. flows…Deep through the soul,Ancient roots forever strong,Never weaken, never fold… [FINAL CHORUS] Rise up now,Children of Jah,Through the fire and the pain,Still we know who we are. Roots run deep,Like the rivers and the stars,Babylon can’t stopThe light inside our hearts. One love strong,From the whenua we stand tall,Hear the ancestors call,And we will never fall. Rise up now…Rise up now…Jah guide us all… [OUTRO] Fear slowly givin’ up now…Fear slowly givin’ up now…Babylon stains fade away now…Jah guide we every day now… Praise Jah…Praise Jah…Ngāti rise again now…Praise Jah… Te awa still flowin’…Ancient fire still glowin’…Children of Jah keep growin’…
