Third World - Ride On lyrics

rate me

By William Clarke

Pack up your things children

'Cause Zion is waiting

Get yourselves together children

'Cause Zion is waiting

(Chorus)

Ride on Ride on Jah children (yea)

Ah keep on riding on

Trod on trod on Jah children (yea)

Ah keep on riding on

(Tell them)

What's sitting in the shadows must be revealed

to light

(No beg them)

We won't beg, steal or borrow 'cause

everything alright

(They say)

They say our situation is getting out of hand

(I know)

But I know they'll never understand dis ya

Rasta man

(Chorus)

Every step Rasta take (if you're no careful)

Babylon try too

I don't know what to say the monkey won't do

Guilty or no guilty Babylon you going to pay

For what you did to my people Hear me Hear me

When I soy

(Chorus)

I say you can't afford to stop now children

You've got to keep on moving

You can't afford to stop my children

You've got to keep on grooving

Today for you I say tomorrow for me

Can't you see that the truth (yea)

It is so plain to see

You're living inna world of confusion

Soon it's gonna fade away

For whatever your works is

Jah know you gonna get your pay

(Chorus)

And me no John Wayne

But we riding on (riding on yea)

And me no Tarzan

But we singing on (Swing Swing Swing yea)

And me no Superman

But we flying Dread

(Chorus)
