Dm C
What was learned from my father, yes I'll teach it to my son
Dm C
What was learned from my mother, yes I'll teach it to my daughter
Dm C
For you must remember my friend, the line of history stretches far beyond we
Dm C
And still we stand time, and time again as a tribute to them
(we'll call this the pre-chorus)
C Dm Am G
Well now tell me if there's one thing that you're wanting, you gotta let me know
Dm Am G
Tell me something, tell me anything, why did they all have to go
Dm Am G
For if there's one thing, that you're wanting, you gotta let me know
Dm Am G
Say something, say anything, before I have to go, for Zion is awaiting
(chorus)
Dm Am G
Jah people in this life, you got to be head strong, head strong
Dm Am G
Teach your children right, or they won't live too long, too long
Dm Am G
Jah people in this life, you got to be head strong, head strong
Dm Am G

Dm C

Dm C

Dm C
For it was them who said, don't get mixed up in your knowledge of today...
(And then head on back up to the pre-chorus and chorus for one more round, and that's it.)
