Woo, hail to the most high, Emperor Selassie I
Get it right we shining bright, boom

Let us give Jah thanks and praise
for all his goodness all these years
Don't be ungrateful just be fateful and hail 'fari
Let us give Jah thanks and praise
for all his goodness all these years
Don't be ungrateful just be fateful hail 'fari ('fari)

Be active and responsive don't you be clumsy
Don't you hurt the children of the earth and let no one see
Youths of today, don't you go astray, hope and pray
then let the blessing come amounst we
Remember what Jah has done for us,
create the heaven and the earth He shine the sun for us
He watch over our daughters and son for us
He's for all not just some of us
