Mr. Rasta Man, do not fade away
Help me understand this world and its ways
I can see you lookin' down, a tear falls from your face
I pray that it hits the ground, spreads love in every way

People, must we throw our hands
Missiles assure us of the end
People, why can't we be friends
One love, let us sing and dance

Mr. Reggae Man, I wish we could meet
For a class on rhythm as you twist up the beat
And talk of revolution that you never saw
In your lifetime and in mine would you call it a loss

Chorus

Mr. Shabba Man, this song is for you
I hope that you hear it and I hope you like your view
One soldier of God, one soldier for mankind
Thank you for the music that you left behind

Chorus
