Young Tree

Young Tree - Groundation Lyrics

Dem trying to cut down dem young tree

Don't want to see a future for me

But dem see I know

Jah prophesy fulfilling before we

One day a higher society

Will ease the sufferation of the poor I see

But all dem looking at the poor man crying

Saying thanks God it's not me



Cuttin' it down limb from limb

Rip it out at the roots

Cuttin' it down limb from limb

Rip it out at the roots



No matter the color, no matter the race

Dem young tree, oh dem young tree

Man is born free yeah, man is born free

Underneath the holy young tree, the young tree

Holy young tree



Well man is born free yeah, man is born free

That's the way it's got to be

And a woman born free, born free, so shall it be

But I have no fear, no fear at all

As them come upon I yard, dem yard, wa yard

I have no fear, no fear at all

As them come upon I yard, dem yard, wa yard



Saying goodbye to you warmonger country

No more will you see I in

And with a clean and a pure in heart

I will nurse back to health

This failing young tree



Cuttin' it down limb from limb

Rip it out at the roots

Cuttin' it down limb from limb

Rip it out at the roots

Man is born free yeah, man is born free
