Ithiopia the land of our Fathers
The Land where our JAH loved to be

With our Red, Gold and Green floating over us
With our Emperor to shield us from wrong
With our Jah and our future before us
We will hail thee with shout and with song

Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life and you will see
