A Father's Prayer

Glory to the Most High, Jah, Rastafari

King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah

Elect of God, Light of the world

His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie

Hear my cry

Protect my son David

As he travel this lonely path

Steer my son far from bloody men

Who surround him with opinions

Bless him with a vision

To distinguish friends from foes

Bless his listeners

With overstanding and patience

And remind the critics

That all Judgement belongs to thee

May the words of I mouth

And the meditation of I heart

Be acceptable in thy sight
