Lucky Dube - Rasta Man's Prayer lyrics

There comes a time

In everyman's life where he's got to face

The truth no matter what.

We are coming to you father

With our sins and everything

To thank you

Those that smoke marijuana

Wanna thank you father

For making it grow internationally,

They wanna thank you lord

Even though police cut it down,

Sometimes they burn it down

But it grows again

Thank you father

Chorus

We wanna thank you father

For everything you've given us

Nations that oppress other nations

Wanna thank you father

Even though it's painful to be oppressed

But they thank you...

For making them strong

Politicians thank you father

For making them to be able

To lie with a straight face

While the nation cries

They wanna thank you lord

Repeat chorus till fade
