Lucky Dube- Rasta Man’s Prayer Lyrics

There comes a time
In everyman’s life where he’s got to face
The truth no matter what.
We are coming to you father
With our sins and everything
To thank you

Those that smoke marijuana
Wanna thank you father
For making it grow internationally,
They wanna thank you lord
Even though police cut it down,
Sometimes they burn it down
But it grows again
Thank you father

[Chorus:]
We wanna thank you father
For everything you’ve given us

Nations that oppress other nations
Wanna thank you father
Even though it’s painful to be oppressed
But they thank you…
For making them strong

Politicians thank you father
For making them to be able
To lie with a straight face
While the nation cries
They wanna thank you lord

[Chorus: till fade]
