Hard Road To Mount Zion

[Intro] [Verse 1] De sun may blaze, but de rain fall down, Everyday struggle inna dis ya concrete town. Bread nah cheap, an' de bills dem a stack, Shoulders heavy, but we nah turn back. Babylon system, it tight like a chain, But we rise inna fire, melt away de pain. Through de valleys, where de shadows deh roam, Jah guide our footsteps, carry we back home. [Chorus] Oh, hard road to Mount Zion, Walk wit' faith when de path get dyin'. Trodding steady through de darkest night, Morning come, and we bathe inna light. [Verse 2] Mama cry tears, but she never complain, Work her fingers to bone, just to cushion de strain. Papa’s hands rough from de mortar and clay, Building dreams inna dirt, though it wash 'way. Youthman chase purpose, but de road twist and turn, Some hearts grow bitter, some hearts nah burn. But inna de struggle, we find our creed, Plantin' love where de hate plant seed. [Chorus] Oh, hard road to Mount Zion, Walk wit' faith when de path get dyin'. Trodding steady through de darkest night, Morning come, and we bathe inna light. [Bridge] Lion roar inna de distance far, Reminding we who de true Rastafar. No matter how de battle rough, Irie vibrations will be enough. [Outro]
