Jah reigns over man
Like the air over land
Jah reigns over man
Just like the air over land
Jah reigns over man

Johnny looked at his father and said
I'll be coming home soon
Johnny was a good, good man
And though he lived in Babylon
Johnny tried he tried
Johnny was a working man

So I said
Some time ago
For reasons no one knows
Johnny trade his soul for gold
Now he's afraid
Of the voice in his head
Trying to hold on to who he used to be
Let righteousness be set free

He say woy woy woy like the rain over land
Jah reign over man
He say woy woy woy like the rain over land
So Jah reigns over man

Time and time again
Sandra was told to settle down
She worked her fingers to the bones
But with five mouths to feed
So lost in the things that she needs
Fighting so hard to survive
Oh, woman she cried
Oh, father please help to fill me
'Cause I'm thirsty
Let righteousness be set free

She cried woy woy woy like the rain over land
Jah reign over man
She say woy woy woy like the rain over land
So Jah reigns over man

I and I never trod alone
Rasta see I as his own
Our people always a fight down evil
Day to day we live
Some have nothing
