When people say they don't love, they'll never see progress
Wouldn't right to let them be alone
Whenever they say things, never you be upset
And just be kindhearted, Rastafari welcomes all at home

Now the people have been misleaded
All because of foolish reasons
How strongly do you hold your own?

'Cause I myself know, that no man is an island
No man stand alone
I myself know, without the conquering lion
I would never endure

When I heard them say play the music no more
I know they've been wounded by truths and rights so pure
And if they should say, do away with the true source
You know that they're unfair

Hey, they don't know how this come about now
All his great wisdom buildeth a true house
Withstand everlasting, Africa we shout like never before

'Cause I myself know, that no man is an island
No man stand alone
I myself know, without the conquering lion
I would never endure

After all you know the world has been taught
To be the system, that downpress your very soul
You never know when they will lurks in the dark
Willing to do the killing

For a dollar they knock you down cold
Corrupt in their heart, no trust whatsoever
Who is so clever, to be under their take hold

'Cause I myself know, that no man is an island
No man stand alone
I myself know, without the conquering lion
I would never endure

When the people say there ain't no love, they'll never see no progress
Wouldn't right to let them be alone
Whenever they say things, never you be upset
And just be kindhearted, Rastafari welcomes you at home

Now the people have been misleaded
All because of foolish reasons
How strongly do you hold your own?

'Cause I myself know, that no man is an island
No man stand alone
I myself know, without the conquering lion
I would never endure

I myself know, that no man is an island
No man stand alone
I myself know
