Signs of the Time
Written by Ronaldo Zidane Azizzi Smith
Wow now now now now now now
Be forever grateful
Signs of the times
Shows a great danger is coming
We’ve got to unite
We have to live loving
Rastafari
In the darkest of hours be my light [be my light]
Jah soldier rise
Stand up no time for running
They’ll try to divide us
Stick together you are family
Rastafari
When the wrath is upon us save my life [save my life]
Forever grateful as I can be
Jah break the chains and set us free
There’s no surrender no retreat
One love one people in harmony
We don’t need no war
That’s all I hear I hear them saying
Oh yeah hey hey
We’ve got to be smart
Our leaders are going insane
Yeah
Signs of the times
Shows a great danger is coming
We’ve got to unite
We have to live loving
Rastafari
In the darkest of hours be my light
Jah soldier rise
Stand up no time for running
They’ll try to divide us
Stick together you are family
Rastafari
When the wrath is upon us save my life
Ever since I was a child
Heed the word of Rastafari not their lies, no
I see the devil in the disguise
Too many bombs falling from the skies
Asking the question why
We nuh wah give peace and love a try
Jah lightning ago strike
Rivers and the ocean running dry
Clean up yuh heart mankind, hey
Signs of the times
Shows a great danger is coming
We’ve got to unite
We have to live loving
Rastafari
In the darkest of hours be my light
I’m looking out for the system fail
We’re going down a very dark trail
There’s still some hope, only time will tell
The youths have grown and they’re holding their meds
Babylon system gone down
This yah generation nah joke
Whole heap a things fi wi sort out
Let the revolution start now
See seh dem a move like war boat
Spread propaganda all bout
Rasta people a talk out
Listen to the words from my mouth
Signs of the times [uh yeah eh eh eh hey]
Got to unite
Rastafari [hey, uh yeah eh eh eh eh hey eh]
Jah Soldier rise
Try to divide
Rastafari
Yeah now now
Be my light
Na na na na na na na
Rise up
Stand up
Rise up
Na na na na na na na
