I say, I woke up with Jah rising sun
tears in my eyes
caise I heard a dreadful news last night
I heard Bob Marley die
and I know mighty dread shall rise
Zion lion just flew away
to his mystic resting place

Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should they die so soon

Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should they die so soon

Then I wail up to Jah wailing sun
with tears in my heart
dreadful night, dreadful day, dreadful morning
so sad to see a sunrise die
and I know mighty dread shall rise again
Zion lion just flew away to his mystic resting place

Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should they die so soon

Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should black heroes die so soon
Why should they die so soon

Silent night, silent news, silent mystic, Night move (ad lib)
Silent night, silent news, silent mystic, Night move (ad lib)
(in a mystic morning, in a mystic night) (ad lib)
