If you get down and quarrel everyday, you’re saying prayers to the devil, I say Positive Vibration
You just can’t live in that negative way… make way for the positive day
You just can’t live that negative way, You know what I mean, Make way for the positive day, Cause it’s a new day… Positive Vibration
Hey mister music, sure sounds good to me I can’t refuse it what to be got to be Rainbow Country
Why not help each other on the way? Make it much easier – Positive Vibration

Don’t worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright Three Little Birds
As a man sow, shall he reap, and I know that talk is cheap

Open your eyes and look within, Are you satisfied with the life you’re living? Exodus

Uprising – 1980
When one door is closed, don’t you know, another is open Coming in from the Cold
Have no fear for atomic energy, ’cause none of them can stop the time Redemption Song
They say: only the fittest of the fittest shall survive, stay alive! Could You Be Loved
When one door is closed, many more is open Coming in from the Cold
I know that I’m not perfect and that I don’t claim to be, so before you point your fingers make sure your hands are clean Could You Be Loved
Love would never leave us alone Could You Be Loved
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind Redemption Song
Two thousand years of history Black History could not be wiped away so easily Zion Train
We Jah people can make it work Work
None but ourselves can free our minds Redemption Song
And what has been hidden from the wise and the prudent been revealed in the mouth of the toddlers Forever Loving Jah
None but ourselves can free our minds Redemption Song

Through the eyes of the fool the deaf is wise, and through the eyes of the wise the fool is size – Mix Up, Mix Up
Stiff-necked fools, you think you are cool to deny me for simplicity – Stiff Necked Fools
I mean it, when I analyse the stench To me, it makes a lot of sense How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier And he was taken from Africa, brought to America Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival Buffalo Soldier
