Beyond The Walls - Mike Love

Come on thee oh come on thee

And we shall go

From this land that is in king’s hand

To where the flowers grow

Cause in this place the human race

Can never ever be free

We are the pawns of Babylon

Open your eyes and see

That we have got to find a way

To bring in the end the destruction of earth

And put a stop to these

Political games they play

Oh Lord cause I

I can’t take no more

I and I could never overstand

What they are fighting for

And so I man just close the door

Oh yes I rhasta close the door

Oh Lord the rhasta close the door

Oh back in to the hills I man must go

And at the mountains I man will make my home

Cause I know we can live in harmony

Beyond the walls of the city

Oh just follow me to Zion land

Come to the valley and you will overstand

How we can live it up so wild and free

Beyond the walls of the city

Oh, broken dreams

Shattered by tomorrow

That become yesterdays in Babylon

So much wasted time

Spent drowning in our sorrows

But this is real life

Oh lord so we can’t stay

No, we’ve got to sail away

Come on thee oh come on thee

The exodus is here

We can’t stay any longer

The signs are becoming clear

From pollution in the air we breathe

To the poison in our seas

Population overcrowding

Famine and disease

Awake, awake now Jah people

Arise for this time is so crucial

Alight to a new height of living

Unite and thou shall be forgiven now

Oh rastaman forgiven now

Oh lord forgiven now, forgiven now

Oh back in to the hills I man must go

And at the mountains I man will make my home

Cause I know we can live in harmony

Beyond the walls of the city

Oh, just follow me to Zion land

Come to the valley and you will overstand

How we can live it up so wild and free

Beyond the walls of the city

Oh, many will die

Many more will have to suffer

Many more will have to suffer

I man don’t know how or why or when

But some may trod on

To the height of mount Zion

Let I be with them

Oh Lord cause I can’t stay

No, I got to sail away

Oh I man see, now is the time

To rearrange and redesign

The way we live to heal the earth

Got to prepare for our children’s birth

If we unite it’s not too late

To open wide mount Zion gate

Though now we stand in the dark of night

We must forward on towards the light

Tear down the walls, rip up the roads

Free up the earth, so the trees can grow

No ownership of Jah Jah land

Return the fields to our father’s hands

So deep within, our mother’s breasts

Planting the seeds in those will be best

To nurture and return to one

All creatures of His creation

Oh can you hear the trumpets call

Didn’t you see the twin sisters fall

That war of the world has now begun

Oh mother nature is on the run

But we must stand firm for it is done

The hour is at hand our true test has come

Let’s stand up for all that is good and right

Jah army arise, Jah people unite

Oh I man see, now is the time

To rearrange and redesign

The way we live to heal the earth

Got to prepare for our children’s birth

If we unite it’s not too late

To open wide mount Zion gate

Though now we stand in the dark of night

We must forward on towards the light
