Lift up your heads
O you gates

And let the king of glory come in!

Lift up your he--ee--eads
O you gates

And let the king of glory come in!

Who is this king of glory?
Jah ras-ta-far-I

And I would love this I know
Jah ras-ta-far-I

Fools in their hearts
Say jah jah dead (say rasta dead)

But they don't know
What they said

Fools in their hearts
Say ras-ta dead

But they don't know
What they said

I give my thanks and praise to
Jah ras-ta-far-I

And I would love this I know
Se-las-sie I--!
