[Intro]
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I

Come let us lift our eyes to the hills
From whence cometh our help, yes I

Never let I foot be moved, show I to improve

Let the words of my mouth
And meditation be true

'Cause Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
So let peace be within thy walls
And prosperity in the palace

To every rebel with a cause (rebel with a cause)
Jah is watching over His prophet

[Verse 2]
So in your going out and coming in
Let Jah protect you for I-ver more, oh yeah, oh yeah

Deuteronomy 28:6;

Psalm 121:8

And just like the days of mighty King David
We trample with the Philippines

Defending our faith seems hard
Never let I foot be moved
On the battlefield, can't lose
Let the heathen know
The Most High is carrying you through

[Chorus]
And Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
So let peace be within thy walls
And prosperity in the palace
To every rebel with a cause (rebel with a cause)
Jah is watching over His prophet

Hey!
He that keepeth I and I no sleep
And Him no slumber

So the sun shall not smite I

No one fight I either
For Jah is thy keeper, yeah
Strength and redeemer, for I-ver

[Bridge]
Good over evil from that time to this time, you know
One heart, one love, to everyone

[Outro]
Cah Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
Africa awaits its creator (awaits its creator)
Those at home and abroad
So let peace be behind those bars
And prosperity in the palace
To every rebel with a cause (rebel with a cause)
Jah is watching over his prophet
I, I, I, I
Jah is watching over his prophet
Ooh, ooh
Jah is watching over his prophet
