I sometimes dream
Of an island over the sea
Where we could live
Simply the way we wanna live
But Jah gave us birth
In a this part of the world
Marley sang, " We come from Trenchtown "
But I and I are children of Babylon
(so we've got [Fm7]to)
Fight here for [Dm7]liberty
Fight here in this society
Fight here for [Dm7]liberty
Fight here in this society
Here's the power
Which sets madness around this world (cries and [Bm]hunger)
In these hours
Some are building our own future
So if you [A7wanna act this is the place to [C7]act
Yes if you [A7wanna fight this is the place to [C7]fight
Rastas sing " Repatɾiation [C7]"
But we've got [Fm7]nowhere to [C7]go but this land [Bm]of confusion
(so we've got [Fm7]to)
Fight here for [Dm7]liberty
Fight here in this society
Fight here for [Dm7]liberty
Fight here in this society
Je ne suis pas né à Kingston
Non, le jeune homme au micro est enfant de Babylone
Nos ɾacines sont là, mais notɾe plante pousse hors normes
Et bien qu'la terre soit sèche y's'peut qu'la ɾécolte soit bonne
De la plante à l'animal je déplace ma métaρhore
Dread in Babylone tel le ver dans leur pomme
Car si l'homme est un loup pour l'homme
Je m'écarte de la meute je ne suis pas carnivore
The smallest axe can cut the biggest tɾee
The smallest match can burn their big cities
