What was learned from my father

Yes I'll teach it to my son yea

What was learned from my mother

Yes I'll teach it to my daughter

For you must remember my friend

The line of history stretches far beyond we

And still we stand, time and time again

As a tribute to them

Well now tell me if there's one

Thing that you're wanting you got to let me know

Tell me something tell me anything

Why did they all have to go

For if there's one thing that you're wanting

You got to let me know

Say something, Say anything

Before I have to go, for Zion is awaiting ...

Jah people in this life you got to be head strong

Head strong, Head strong

Teach the children right

Or they won't live too long, too long, too long

Jah people in this life you got to be head strong

Head strong, Head strong

Live up in the right or you won't live too long

Too long, Oh no, Oh no

Long time ago, our future was past and gone ...

What was learned from my father

Yes I'll teach it to my daughter

What was learned from my mother, mother, mother

Yes I'll teach it pon my son yea for it was them who

Say

Don't get mixed up in your knowledge of today

Give one a hand of corn and they die

Teach them to grow corn and you know

They will survive

Remember them oh Zion

Please remember them oh Zion

You must remember them oh Zion

You broke my heart ...
