lyrics

1. Once a man and twice an child
And everything is just for a while
I give thanks and praise in the morning
Thanks and praise in the evening
I give thanks fi life
No matter di rocky road we a trod on, trod on, trod on
I see a whole heapa man dem cry
Whole heapa man dem fight
Hard times mek some man belly full
While soma dem a hungry
In bad times no tek a man fi a fool
Cah man a rastaman and I and I know

Chorus
There’s a rainbow
Way up in the sky
A promise of hope that never ever dies
I can see the clouds parting
My God never fails
Taking me out of bondage
Breaking all my chains

Jah Jah bless my soul
Never leave alone
Jah jah right my wrongs
Let my spirit grow
Jah Jah bless my soul

2. Through the trials and tribulation
Watch yoour step, don’t get caught inna aggravation
Guard yourself from the wickedness of man
No put your trust in a politician
Cause a man is just a man
Whether white, black or chinaman
Jah Jah first and everthing come after
Mind yourself, you nah go fallin it with babylon
Jah Jah a we guide fi tek we outta ammargedeon

Chorus
There’s a rainbow
Way up in the sky
A promise of hope that never ever dies
I can see the clouds parting
My God never fails
Taking me out of bondage
Breaking all my chains

Jah Jah bless my soul
Never leave alone
Jah jah right my wrongs
Let my spirit grow
Jah Jah bless my soul

There’s a rainbow
Way up in the sky
A promise of hope that never ever dies
I can see the clouds parting
My God never fails
Taking me out of bondage
Breaking all my chains

There’s a rainbow
Way up in the sky
A promise of hope that never ever dies
I can see the clouds parting
My God never fails
Taking me out of bondage
Breaking all my chains

There’s a rainbow
Way up in the sky
A promise of hope that never ever dies
I can see the clouds parting
My God never fails
Taking me out of bondage
Breaking all my chains
