Tarrus Riley - Africa Awaits lyrics

[Ad libs] Ay ay ay ay Ay ay ay ay Ay ay ay ay [Intro] Oh let us lift our eyes to the hills From whence cometh our help yes I And give us health and strength rastafari In these challenging times I say Never let I foot be moved Show I to improve Let the words of my mouth And meditation be true [Chorus] Cause Africa awaits its creator Those at home and abroad Cause Africa awaits its creator Those at home and abroad So let peace be within thy walls And prosperity in the palace To every rebel with a past Jah is watching over his prophet So when your going out and coming in Let jah protect you forever more Oh yea oh yea And just like the days of mighty king david We trample with the Philippines Defending our fates seems hard Never let I foot be moved On the battlefield can't lose Let the evil know The most high is carrying you through [Chorus] [Bridge] Them think that I and I no sleep And him no slumber So the sunshine that smite I No one fight I either For jah is thy keeper Strength and redeemer Forever Africa awaits its creator Those at home and abroad [x4] So let peace be behind those bars And prosperity in the palace To every rebel with a past Jah is watching over his prophet Ay ay ay ay Jah is watching over his prophet Oh oh oh Jah is watcing over his prophet
