Rastaman Chant

Bob Marley · Burnin'

I hear the words of the rasta man say
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down

Said, I hear the words of the higher man say
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down

And I hear the angel with the seven seals
Babylon your throne's gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down

I say fly away home to zion, fly away home
I say fly away to zion, fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home

One bright morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home
One brlght morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home

I say fly away home to zion, fly away home
I say fly away to zion, fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home

Rastaman Chant

Bob Marley's "Rastaman Vibration" (often titled "Rastaman Chant") stands as a cornerstone of reggae history, released on the 1973 album "Burnin'". The track features a distinctive, hypnotic rhythm section that drives its message of unity and spiritual awakening. With lyrics celebrating the Rastafari faith and the global Rastaman community, the song became an anthem for social justice and cultural pride. Its infectious melody and Marley's iconic vocal delivery helped propel reggae music to international prominence, influencing countless artists across genres. As a defining work of the early 1970s era, it remains a powerful testament to the movement's ideals of peace, love, and brotherhood.
