Ooh ooh ooh
Tell it to the people Rasta tell it to the world
Rastafari is my shield and my defence
Shout it out, all religion, all the pestilence suspend, and Rastafari’s tradition commence


Drop a bomb inna the heart of Vatican and murder Babylon
Them only deh yah fe do wrong
Through me strong, pagan them can’t hold me down


Every day we keep rising like the sun
I will survive
As long as Jah is near
I will survive


Burn away all these fears
I will survive
As long as Jah is near
I will survive
