Jah Sun and Peetah Morgan, oh yeah
Sending this one to the nation
Right away
[Chorus: Peetah Morgan]
I have a heart like a lion, strong like Mount Zion
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't ever get me down
My God and king He never sleep, always watching over me
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't ever get me down, no
[Verse 1: Jah Sun]
Well everyday I feel I'm fighting for my life
In a pagan society
I often trod it for my children and my wife
And I defend my family
Over the political power, an economic tower
They control the church and school
An dem a try dem very best just to keep I depress
And make I and I the fool
But I was taught to seek an learn
Dis all the system of man I won't fear it
And through the powers I man will stand ferm
I'll never let them break my spirit
[Chorus: Peetah Morgan]
I have a heart like a lion, strong like Mount Zion
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't ever get me down
My God and king He never sleep, always watching over me
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't ever get me down, no
[Verse 2: Jah Sun]
True me read and meditate and get wise
I learn to recognize a wolf inna sheep disguise
And Babylon ah spread pure lies
But you can never stop Jah yuth from rise
Not even dis economy could ever drop me
I see your false prophecy you can't flop me
I say no jacket and tie … can come talk to I
No Babylon boy could ever stop me
[Chorus: Peetah Morgan]
I have a heart like a lion, strong like Mount Zion
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't even get me down
My God and king He never sleep, always watching over me
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't even get me down
[Verse 3: Jah Sun]
To all my citizens of di world
Well if you feeling like me
And you ready to take control
And rule your destiny
Come make we trod it together
Like sister and breda'
It rise like a brand new day
And if a dirty bad mind try to come stop we shine
We look at im and say
[Chorus: Peetah Morgan]
I have a heart like a lion, strong like Mount Zion
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't ever get me down
My God and king He never sleep, always watching over me
So Babylon can't ever get me down, can't ever get me down, no
Jah Sun and Peetah Morgan, oh yeah
