What your hands do,
it's your own eyes that 've seen.
So, won't you judge your actions,
to make sure the results are clean?
It's your own conscience,
that is gonna remind you,
that it's your heart, and nobody else's,
that is gonna judge.

Be not selfish, in your doings,
pass it on (pass it on, children).
Help your brothers, (help them) in their needs,
pass it on.

Live for yourself, you will live in vain.
Live for others, you will live again.
In the kingdom of Jah, man shall reign.
Pass it on!
Pass it on!
Pass it on!
Pass it on!

What's in the darkness,
must be revealed to light.
We're not here to judge what's good from bad,
but to do the things that are right.
On a hot sunny day,
under the shadows for rescue,
but as the day grows old,
I know where the sun is gonna find you.

So, be not selfish, in your doings, pass it on.
Help your brothers, in their needs, pass it on.

Live for yourself, you will live in vain.
(You're gonna live in vain.)
Live for others, you will live again (yeah!).
In the kingdom of Jah, man shall reign.
Pass it on!
Pass it on!
Pass it on!
Better pass it on.
