FAROVER -  Burning Spear [Winston Rodney]

As far as your eyes can see
You will be seeing the children of the most high
Twelve tribes of Israel from creation
Over the mountain side
(Farover) - farover the mountain side
(Farover) -as far as your eyes can see
Farover

We want the color of the nazarene
The color of the nazarene
Red, gold and green

We want it, we want it....(Farover)
(Farover) - I see it so high, so high
(Farover) - farover the mountain side
Farover the mountain side
Farover

What about the color of Marcus Garvey (Farover)

(Farover) - farover, farover
I see it so high, so high

Twelve tribes of Israel from creation

One thing I don't understand
How so many black people in America
Have no intention
Have no respect for their culture
I wonder why, I wonder why

But, anyway, I-man love
I-man love I-man black brethren in America (yes, greetings)
I-man love I-man black sistren in America 
Even thouh they say that them a Yankee
Never, never, never, never mind that

So they cause I an I people
To disown they people
But what a day when I an I people get together
Start to hold each other

Get a clean and deep meditation
About black people hist'ry and culture
