Don't live far from
Far from our Father's hand
Don't live far from
Far from our mother's hand

Don't live far from
Far from our Father's hand
Don't live far from
Far from our mother's hand

His love protect and guide I and I
He gives us the strength for the daily struggle

Forty years in the desert
Remember Moses
Remember Joshua

Forty years in the desert

Far from our Father's hand
Don't live far from
Far from our mother's hand

Don't live far from
Far from our Father's hand
Don't live far from
Far from our mother's hand

The one that was one now is two
Mind and flesh know fight until destruction
(See the pillars of justice) see the pillars of justice

A dark shadow spreading everywhere
Desperation control your mind

A dark shadow spreading everywhere
Desperation destroy your life

Don't live far from

Teach everyone to live in the love of the almighty
Haven't sailed off to leave and guide us to Zion, why
And I'ma come back and stand up on the wilderness
'Cause I know we have to live and serve the almighty
He's face shines upon the I and I
I don't wanna to be saved and delivered no
I and I a praise down his majesty
I bun away all liquidy
All Rastafari come to bun all delinquity, bun a
Watch a this





And blaze it in them fire
