Verse 6 Damian: So watch for sticks and stones Stumbling blocks in piles Life is one big road Miles on top of miles So blessed be the soul That always remains a child And most people don’t even smile There’s a natural mystic Blowing in tru the air So keep it realistic And always be aware The truth is crying out And it’s so loud and so clear But most people won’t even hear Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere And with so much confusion Can one be happy here The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share But some would rather to be so unfair
