| Dem trying to cut down dem Young Tree
|
| Don’t want to see a future for me,
|
| But dem see I know
|
| Jah prophesy fulfilling before we
|
| One day a higher society
|
| Will ease the sufferation of the poor I see
|
| But all dem looking at the poor man crying
|
| Saying thank god it’s not me
|
| Rip it out at the roots
|
| Cuttin’it down limb from limb (Repeat)
|
| No Matter the color, no matter the race
|
| Dem Young Tree, oh dem Young Tree
|
| Well man is born free yeah, Man is born free
|
| Underneath the holy young tree
|
| Well man is born free, born free
|
| That’s the way it’s got to be
|
| And a woman born free, so shall it be
|
| But I have no fear, no fear at all
|
| As them come upon I yard, dem yard, We yard
|
| Saying goodbye to you warmonger country
|
| No more will you see I in
|
| And with a clean and a pure in heart
|
| I will nurse back to health
|
| This failing Young Tree |
