| Listen to me carefully:
|
| When I was a little child
|
| I used to think Israel was in the sky
|
| When I was a little child
|
| I used to think Egypt was in the sky
|
| According to the teacher
|
| That I learned in school
|
| Oh how they used to teach I
|
| To turn a fool
|
| But now:
|
| I’m in the light I’m in the light
|
| And its shining bright
|
| I’m in the light I’m in the light
|
| And its shining bright
|
| When I was a little child
|
| They used to say rastaman is no good
|
| I know I used to run from him away
|
| He walked down the street
|
| But let me tell you people
|
| It’s the man who tell the truth
|
| Come in the light come in the light
|
| 'Cause its shining bright
|
| Come in the light come in the light
|
| Come on you
|
| When I was a little child
|
| I didn’t know my culture
|
| When I was a little child
|
| I didn’t know my foreparents were from Africa
|
| All the things they used to teach I
|
| Was about England, Canada and America
|
| But now
|
| I’m in the light I’m in the light
|
| And its shining bright
|
| Come in the light come in the light
|
| Come on you
|
| When I was a little child
|
| I didn’t know my culture
|
| When I was a little child
|
| I didn’t know my foreparents were from Africa
|
| All the things they used to teach I
|
| Was about England Canada and America
|
| But now
|
| I’m in Jah light I’m in Jah light
|
| And its shining bright
|
| Come in Jah light come in Jah light
|
| Come on you
|
| Come in Jah light come in Jah light
|

|
| I’m in the light I’m in Jah light
|
