Am    G   Dm  Em   Am  
Long before the river did turn to dust 
Man and man use to talk and 
There was plenty food for all of them 
The herb grew so free 
We thought we too must be free 
But now oh how wrong we were 
We watched the pirates come in 
Spittin' pon I yard 
As they tore down head waters 
Spittin' pon I yard 
As they tore down back so wall 

Em        D                  Em        D    C   D 
Fear not those who try to steal your culture 
Stand firm like the bush doctor (x 2) 

Em    D    C             D    Em 
Sail on you feared pirates I say 
As we'll be taking our shelter 
Beneath the young tree 
Fly on you fallen angels I pray 
And we'll be taking our shelter 
Underneath the young tree 

Am    G   Dm  Em   Am 
Now maybe their ships have gone 
But mental scares do remain 
To divide and confuse Jah people 
Fighting against this reality 
With their ego power games 
We knew not how to play 
They're running away our culture 
But I know we will survive 
Left in I man yard to rebuild up head waters 
Left in I yard to protecting back o wall 

Em        D                  Em        D    C   D 
Fear not those who try to steal your culture 
Stand firm like the bush doctor (x 2)
