I say, I woke up with Jah rising sun Tears in my eyes Cause I heard a dreadful news last night I heard that Bob Marley die And I know mighty dread shall rise
Zion lion just flew away To his mystic resting place
Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should they die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should they die so soon
Then I wail up to Jah wailing sun With tears in my heart Dreadful night, dreadful day, dreadful morning So sad to see a sunrise die And I know mighty dread shall rise again
Zion lion flew away to his mystic resting place
Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should they die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should black heroes die so soon Why should they die so soon
Silent night, silent news, silent Mystic Night Move (ad lib) Silent night, silent news, silent Mystic Night Move (ad lib) (in a mystic morning, in a mystic night) (ad lib)
