Bunny Wailer - Rise & Shine

We been down in the valley much too long
We been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah
We been down in captivity much too long
We been down in humility, and oh so long

So rise and shine and win your liberations
For now is the time when all nations must be free
So, rise and shine - restore your strength and power
Waste no more time - remember your history

(..)

We been down in a sufferation much too long
We been down in humiliation oh so long, yeah
We been down in a condemnation much too long
We been down in a segregation oh so long

So rise and shine as the morning sun that surrounds you
It's international morality time - where mankind must be born anew
So, rise and shine for the sake of the sake of the younger generations
Put your hearts and minds to brotherhood and unity

We been down in the valley much too long
We been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah
We been down in captivity much too long
We been down in humility, and oh so long

We been down in a sufferation much too long
We been down in a tribulation oh so long, yeah
We been down in a condemnation much too long
And we been down in a segregation oh so long, yeah-yeah

We been down in the valley much too long
We been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah
We been down in captivity much too long
We been down in humility oh so long

So rise and shine and win your liberation..
