(Intro/Chorus)

I and I a Rasta children 

I and I a Rasta children 
We come from Zion 
We come from Zion 
Living down here in Babylon 
Enduring the strife and tribulation 
 
I and I no check for vanity 
I and I a deal with humanity 
Enduring the strives and tribulation 
With Jah, guidance and protection 
To lead the children out of Babylon 
To the promised land, Mount Zion 
Mount Zion! Mount Zion! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(Verse) 
 
Zion high is the place for I 
For I and I to dwell 
Fire, fire, fire I go burn Babylon 
For this is a living hell 
 
So gather the babe and suckling 
To reach to the promised land, yeah 
Far, far away, far, far away.  
Far, far away, far, far away... 
 
Living down here in Babylon 
Enduring the strives and tribulation 
For I and I no check for vanity 
And I and I a deal with humanity 
 
Enduring the strives and tribulation 
With Jah, guidance and protection 
To lead the children out of Babylon 
To the promised land, Mount Zion 
Mount Zion, yeah, Mount Zion 
 
Zion high is the place for I 
For I and I to dwell 
Fire, fire, fire I go burn Babylon 
For this is a living hell 
 
So gather your babe and suckling 
To reach for the promised land 
Far, far away, far, far away.  
Far, far away, far, far away...
