I&I Spirit

Intro (spoken)

Yeah man…

I&I feel the vibration tonight

Give thanks and praise to Jah

Let the music rise…

Couplet 1

Early in the morning when the sun start to shine

I hear the children singin’, freedom on their mind

Babylon system try to keep we down

But the sound of the drum keep spinnin’ around

From the hills to the city, hear the people cry

Looking to the heavens, asking Jah why

But deep in the soul there’s a fire burning bright

Guiding I&I through the darkest night

Refrain

One love, one heart tonight

Let Jah light guide we through the fight

From the valleys low to the mountains high

I&I spirit will never die

Sing now — one love, one destiny

Break the chains and set the people free

From Babylon walls to the gates of Zion

We keep marching on and on

Couplet 2

I see the elders sitting under mango tree

Speaking old stories about how life should be

About justice, truth and dignity

And how the world once lived in harmony

But Babylon come with greed and lies

Trying to blind the people eyes

Still the roots of freedom grow so strong

In every drum beat, in every song

Refrain

One love, one heart tonight

Let Jah light guide we through the fight

From the valleys low to the mountains high

I&I spirit will never die

Sing now — one love, one destiny

Break the chains and set the people free

From Babylon walls to the gates of Zion

We keep marching on and on

Couplet 3

Hear the bassline rolling like the ocean tide

Feel the rebel spirit rising deep inside

No chains can hold the truth for long

When the people stand united and strong

So lift your hands up to the sky

Let the old world pass us by

Cause the road to Zion still remain

For the righteous soul to walk again

Bridge

Give thanks and praise to Jah above

Plant the seed of peace and love

No matter where the children roam

In every heart there is a home

I&I never lose the way

Truth and love will always stay

When the night seems cold and long

Let the reggae be your song

Refrain (final)

One love, one heart tonight

Let Jah light guide we through the fight

From the valleys low to the mountains high

I&I spirit will never die

Sing now — one love, one destiny

Break the chains and set the people free

From Babylon walls to the gates of Zion

We keep marching on and on

Outro

Yeah man…

Let the fire of Jah burn bright

Roots music in the night

One love forever…
