Rasta Man's Prayer Lyrics - Lucky Dube

There comes a time 

In every man'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 

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 

We wanna thank you, Father 

For everything you've given us 

We wanna thank you, Father 

For everything you've given us 

We wanna thank you, Father 

For everything you've given us
