There is a land, far far away
Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That there's a land, far far away
That there's a land, far far away

The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sit upon His throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all

The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sit upon His throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all

There is a land, far far away
Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That there's a land, far far away
That there's a land, far far away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tapper Zukie's song "Satta" are full of spiritual and religious references. The song describes a "land far far away" where there is no night, only day, and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords sits on His throne and rules over all. The repetition of the line "Look into the book of life, and you will see" emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge and wisdom in order to understand the divine. The song also includes the chant "Satta Massagana," which is a Rastafarian phrase meaning "Give thanks and praise."


The idea of a utopian "land far far away" where there is no darkness or pain is a common theme in many religions and spiritual traditions. In Christianity, it is often referred to as the "kingdom of heaven," while in Hinduism it is known as the "realm of Brahman." The image of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords sitting on a throne is also a reference to biblical and apocalyptic imagery, where God or Jesus is often depicted as a powerful ruler.


The repeated use of the phrase "Look into the book of life" is an important message in the song, as it encourages listeners to seek spiritual knowledge and enlightenment. The Rastafarian movement, from which the song emerged, places a strong emphasis on studying the Bible and other spiritual texts in order to understand the nature of God and the world.


Overall, "Satta" is a powerful and uplifting song that speaks to the human desire for a better world and a deeper understanding of the divine.
