People, the power
Is in your hands
To chase out corruption
To heal this beautiful land
Jah beautiful land
Oh yeah, yeah
People, the hour
The hour is at hand
We can come together now
Rise up and take a stand
'cause we've got the powers, yes
To stop those war mongers
Oh, they try to divide us all
Jah love has to conquer
We've got the powers, yes
Together we'll be so much stronger
And the Babylon system
Won't be able to stand any longer
Oh, higher, higher heights
Higher, higher, yo
Higher, higher, ye-ah, woy-yo-yagga-yo
Higher, higher heights
Higher, higher, yo
Higher, higher, ye-ah, woy-yo-yagga-yo
Acquisitions of material things
Won't satisfy your soul
Only Jah love is everlasting
It never leaves us in the cold
But it's a shame to see mother earth and her children
Being bought and sold
Some of them say things have changed
They still remain the same
As in the days of those pirates of old
Higher, higher heights
Higher, higher, yo
Higher, higher, ye-ah, woy-yo-yagga-yo
Higher, higher heights
Higher, higher, yo
Higher, higher, ye-ah, woy-yo-yagga-yo
How good and how pleasant it is
When we dwell in unity and love
It's as precious as the rains
Is as the dew from the mountains above
I would fly to the hills and be at rest
If I had the wings of a dove
But since I have no wings, iya
Hear the voice of our supplications
Higher, higher heights
Higher, higher, yo
Higher, higher, ye-ah, woy-yo-yagga-yo
Higher, higher heights
Higher, higher, yo
Higher, higher, ye-ah, woy-yo-woy-yo
For truth and for rights
For peace and for love
Good God, we need justice, justice, justice
But I know some won't want to discuss this
What's this, what's this, what's this?
Oh, people the power
Is in your hands
To chase out corruption
To heal this beautiful land
Jah beautiful land
