Artist/Band: Lucky Dube
Lyrics for Song: Rasta Man's Prayer
Lyrics for Album: Trinity [1995]



There comes a time



In every man's life



Where he's got to face



The truth no matter what



We are coming to you, Father



With our sins and everything



To thank you



Those that smoke marijuana



Wanna thank you, Father



For making it grow internationally



They wanna thank you, Lord



Even though police cut it down



Sometimes they burn it down



But it grows again



Thank you, Father



We wanna thank you father



For everything you've given us



Nations that oppress other nations



Wanna thank you, Father



Even though it's painful to be oppressed



But they thank you for making them strong



Politicians thank you, Father



For making them to be able



To lie with a straight face



While the nation cries



They wanna thank you, Lord



We wanna thank you, Father



For everything you've given us



We wanna thank you, Father



For everything you've given us



We wanna thank you, Father



For everything you've given us
