It's not an easy road to travel

Lots of temptations,and obstacles

Many don't like us, or what we stand for

Society and family, they fight against us

We give praises, to the Most High

Praise him in songs, and music

Sometimes we're burning, with fire

Hitting out against the system

Now we've seen the light

And we live the life

Bearing reproaches of Christ

Now a new day is dawn

And a new man is born

Take up the cross and follow Christ

We don't absorb, western corruption

Looking to the east, we've found our King

Emperor Selassi High, King of Kings

Conquering lion, of Judah

Rastafari guides, and protect us

As we exalteth, his name

So we speak plainly, and boldly

And Jah will bless us, abundantly

Now we've seen the light

And we live the life

Bearing reproaches of Christ

Now a new day is dawn

And a new man is born

Take up the cross and follow Christ

♪

Now we've seen the light

And we live the life

Bearing reproaches of Christ

Now a new day is dawn

And a new man is born

Take up the cross and follow Christ

We've seen the light

Now we live the life

Bearing reproaches of Christ

Now a new day is dawn

And a new man is born

Take up the cross, and follow Christ

We've seen the light

Live the life, yeah yeah yeah

Bearing reproaches of Christ

A new day is dawn

A new man is born

Take up the cross and follow Christ
