Now the roots are the inspiration of the people oh yes
and without them all would be gone astray.
I can hear the voices of the radicals in the cities.
Grab on brother, to the rock I say!
Rastafari he leads the way.

And reggae is the music which sends a message
tells of history, the truth and the right.
Leading the cause of the innocent ones
to comfort the afflicted and to keep them from wrong.
Let the aged be protected and the infant be strong! Yes!
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!

Remember reggae is the music which sends a message
