Got to arrange some pick up
Got to arrange some pick up

Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand
Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand

Many hundred years ago
When the Holy Man touch a one
Man get up an walk
Matthew 9:2-7; Mark 2:10-12; Luke 5:17-25

People start to talk
Mark 7:32-35

People been cleansed by the Holy Man
Matthew 8:2-3; Mark 1:40-43; Luke 5:12-13


Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand
Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand

No more belly lick Uncle Joe
No more what a hell tonight
No more backsliding
No more backsliding

Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand

Buy making this pick up
I heard a voice say Spear
Someone call me, call me, call me
Someone call me, call me, call me
Man called Crow
I know Crow from way back
Man called GG
GG was an all arounder
Man called Astin
Astin was the fish man
Man called Banton
Banton was the main man
Someone call me, call me, call me
Someone call me, call me, call me

Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand
Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand

They who criticizing and finding fault
Sometimes they ending up having more fault
Got to get yourself together
No more criticizing my brother
Got to get yourself together
Stop calling your brother a nigga

Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand
Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand

People will be meeting people
People will be greeting people
People will be appreciating people
And treated as people

We got to arrange some pick up
We got to arrange some pick up
We got to arrange some pick up
We got to arrange some pick up

Oh my God, Jah Rastafari

Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand
Take them across to meet the Holy Man
The Holy Man, a touch them with His hand
